Cobra Mocks BTC “Buy the Dip” Mantra
Anonymous crypto personality Cobra is a puzzle. Some say it’s a dude just rolling. Others believe the account is run by several trolls. Whatever the case, it sure is fun to read.
Can maximalists fucking stop telling people to “buy the dip”? You guys have been saying this every step of the way down from $19k. Bitcoin could go to $3k and stay there *FOREVER*, there is nothing guaranteed about Bitcoin rising, but many seem to think its a universal truth!

Around the Hash War madness, various accounts became more active and began spreading rumors. One crypto celebrity had enough, and called out the suddenly gossipy account.

BSV and Replay Protection
And that Hash War reorganized the Bitcoin Cash community, with folks taking sides in some not-so-obvious ways. One debate seemed to rage more than others, and that had to do with actions conforming to principles.
So, @DanielKrawisz, now SV is shitting on the index and adding replay protection. Can you be done with them now?

Mow’s New Hat
The twitter mock account Lightning Hat Store advertises a fake store to lampoon Blockstream. Satirically, this time they have designed a good looking cap sporting the Bitcoin SV logo, directed to Samson Mow.
My Lightning Hat Store hasn’t been getting much business lately due to the bear market, and the user unfriendliness of the Lightning Network, but here’s a new hat with the $BSV logo, my new favorite Bitcoin. Enjoy, Samson. pic.twitter.com/VvT7CXpRpG
