When the market’s air thickens, the differences between its players reveal themselves as plainly as a fiddler’s broken string at a village dance. Our persistent commentator, Will Clemente, with all the wisdom of a man who watches too many graphs, has pointed out this divide with the precision of a surgeon who’d rather be drinking tea.
Take gold, for instance: it has the enchanted guardians called central banks, those tireless hoarders who hurry to fill their vaults as if the apocalypse were nigh. Stocks, on the other hand, have pension and sovereign funds, those kindly aunts and uncles who love to compound and patiently wait for their spoils. And then there is crypto – poor, lonely crypto. It has none of this affection. The only children at its dinner table are the very companies that swoon and faint alongside their digital coins.
Just today, Bitcoin took a nosedive to $110,700, prompted by the U.S. jobs data – a report as cheerful as a rainy Hamline funeral. Companies exposed to this digital misfortune waltzed down with it: Strategy shed a modest 1.47%, BMNR staggered over 5% lost, Coinbase slipped more than 4%, and SBET’s fall approached a tragic 7%. A perfect symphony of misery.
The difference between gold, stocks, and crypto in shaky moments is that gold has central banks twapping, stocks have pension funds & sovereign wealth funds twapping, crypto has this:

These companies are supposedly the guardians of digital assets for the institutional world, but when the pitch forks come out, they do not raise their shields – they bleed with the rest. Their bravery is commendably absent.
“When sell-off hits”
On the derivatives side, the spectacle looked even grimmer. Within 24 hours, more than $371 million was liquidated-like water slipping through a sieve-with $230 million vanishing in longs and $141 million swallowed by shorts.
In the mere hour after the dreadful report, a staggering $117 million disappeared, as if the market were a house of cards built on marshmallow foundations. Every hour brought new casualties, with bulls and bears alike losing hundreds of millions, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq stood on their hilltops, cheerfully at all-time highs, sipping their champagne.
The contrast, you see, is as obvious as a fiddler’s bad tune: gold is the central banks’ trusted friend, stocks are the cozy slippers of retirement funds, and crypto is… well, the restless houseguest who leaves just as the bill arrives. When Bitcoin stumbles, those linked to it follow like drunken dance partners in a sad, slow performance. Nothing remains to break the fall except bruised egos and shattered dreams. 🤡
