In recent days, Bitcoin fell from $95,000 to $86,000, a product of massive liquidations associated with fear of advances in quantum computing and sales by large investors. The selling pressure, with one pioneer selling more than 11,000 BTC, led to liquidations of almost $1 billion in a single day.

On X (formerly Twitter), Peter Brandt, a market analyst, launched a controversial hypothesis: the government of The US could cause a sharp drop to buy Bitcoin at a low price.

“My personal opinion. The US government should cause a sharp price drop, forcing Saylor into liquidation. Then the US government can accumulate BTC to support the USD as a reserve currency. I think a price drop to 30k would be enough,” exposed Brandt in another post.
