TL;DR: CoinSpice scours the Twittersphere to shine light upon the top crypto tweets of the week. It’s an interesting time for cryptocurrency enthusiasts. There’s a solid chance more will begin to shun influencers who have continually got things wrong while pretending to be experts. If for no other reason, Twitter provides insight into the 2020 REKTening.

#10 The REKTening

The REKTening is in full swing. Global central bankers are grasping to address a worldwide financial downturn. Tools at their immediate disposal seem two-pronged: monetary policy and fiscal policy. The US Federal Reserve, for example, is injecting some $1.5 trillion into the economy through markets and cutting interest rates.

What might be next is anyone’s guess, really. Italy expanded its mortgage holiday. More countries are considering some version of a universal basic income. Where cryptocurrencies come into play is equally hard to determine.

So far, crypto is not being snapped up as a safe harbor, store of value, nor digital gold. In fact, whales are abandoning it in droves, sparking smaller traders to panic sell, crashing prices all around. It could very well be a temporary sorting out on the way toward a more decisive entrance into coins with actual utility, those that really solve problems. Or not.

#7 Credulity on Full Display

#Crypto market leaders/influencers/analysts in disbelief. I'm in disbelief that they actually believed all the nonsense #Bitcoin narratives in the first place. pic.twitter.com/9IIXNBr0Bp — Concept211📉 (@Concept211) March 9, 2020

#6 Still Unconfirmed

3h ago I made a #BTC payment. Default settings on Electrum. Still unconfirmed. Blockchair shows the TX sitting at priority 20k out of 22k. It probably won't be included in a block today. My payment keeps losing value by the minute. Is this a shitcoin? I think it is. 📉 — Alex Winter (@realAlexWinter) March 9, 2020

#5 A Naked Emperor

Worst trader ever lmao pic.twitter.com/FBb5jrugvm — 589EOY2018 (@InNegev) March 10, 2020

#4 Sh*t Talk

I don't mean to shit-talk, but given that Toilet Paper has proven to be a better Store of Value than Bitcoin, I came up with a solution for building Lightning Network on top of Toilet Paper. 🧻🧻 pic.twitter.com/G4eRb19SdH — Plan C (@FreeThePlebes) March 12, 2020

#3 Seemingly Contradictory

3 days apart. We’re learning new, seemingly contradictory, things about bitcoin on a daily basis. pic.twitter.com/HAzZFM8hxM — Mike In Space (@mikeinspace) March 13, 2020

#2 Pomp Can Always be Counted to Give Worst Takes

Treasury Secretary Mnuchin just said the Federal Reserve and Treasury are working to provide “unlimited liquidity” to the financial system. UNLIMITED LIQUIDITY. This is going to be the greatest monetary stimulus experiment in history. Bitcoin was built for this. — Pomp 🌪 (@APompliano) March 13, 2020
