Summary

Bloomberg reporter Muyao Shen says Bitcoin's slide below $70,000 reflects a deeper crisis of faith in crypto, not just a technical selloff. She argues Bitcoin is failing as digital gold because gold and silver are rising while Bitcoin sells, and other chains such as Ethereum and Solana have not been rewarded for promised Wall Street adoption. She sees no current fundamental catalyst validating the crypto bull case.

Bitcoin losing faith as store of value
Muyao Shen says Bitcoin is facing a crisis of faith as its digital-gold and store-of-value narrative breaks down: Bitcoin is selling off while gold and silver prices are rising, and there is no current fundamental catalyst proving the bull case that Bitcoin fans have been promoting.

Altcoin adoption is not lifting prices
Shen argues the broader crypto and blockchain complex, including Ethereum and Solana, has failed to deliver on its promise to rebuild Wall Street, fintech, and neobanking. Even where Wall Street institutions are adopting crypto, that adoption is not affecting prices, leaving these assets without a fundamental driver.
