今天无界带大家聊聊比特币。见过2022年LUNA崩盘的惨烈，也亲历了2025年初比特币翻倍的狂欢。 社群里前一秒还在晒收益截图喊冲15万，后一秒就被9万关口要不要割肉的求助刷屏。尤其是老周的经历，让我觉得有必要好好聊聊这波暴 跌：它从来不是空头突然发难，而是早有预兆的必然崩塌。 事情的起因 上周末我刷到老周的朋友圈，差点以为他被盗号了。前两周还在晒比特币翻倍收益、喊着冲15万的人，现在连发三条求助：9万关口要不要割 肉？ 10月底加仓的本金已经亏40%了。私聊一问才知道，这哥们连续两晚失眠，交易所客服电话被他打爆，得到的回复全是请理性看待市场波动。 老周的崩溃不是个例。11月中旬的加密货币市场，简直是大型翻车现场。半个月前还在12.6万美元巅峰的比特币，毫无征兆就开启自由落体， 72小时内完成12万→10万→9万的三级跳，最低摸到89385美元，较高点跌了近30%。 三天时间，4000亿美元市值没了，这个数差不多是挪威一年的GDP，说财富雪崩真不算夸张。 更能说明问题的是灰度比特币信托，这可是机构入场的风向标。10月下旬它的溢价率还在18%，短短半个月就跌到-5%。 我翻CME的数据看到，11月15日那天，比 ...
