Veteran trader Dave Weisberger stated on Monday that buying Bitcoin today resembles buying Amazon before its historic rise, emphasizing that the critical factor is investor entry timing rather than the asset's ultimate success. Speaking on The Wolf Of All Streets podcast, Weisberger explained the parallel centers on whether current buyers are entering at a price point equivalent to Amazon's early lows or before a significant correction. The comparison highlights ongoing debate among market participants about optimal cryptocurrency investment timing in the current cycle.
Weisberger, a veteran Wall Street investor, posed the entry point as the defining question for every investor in the asset today. "Buying Bitcoin is like buying Amazon," he said. "The question is, do you buy Amazon at $90 before it went to nine, or do you buy Amazon at $9 before it went to over $1,000?" Bitcoin's price has been trading down by over 2% over the past 24 hours, with the price at $63,000. On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around BTC remained in the 'bearish' zone, while chatter levels around it remained at 'low' levels over the past day.

Bloomberg Intelligence senior commodity strategist Mike McGlone stated the crypto was in a bear market and the shakeout was "far from done." "The big test has not yet started," McGlone said, adding that Bitcoin has already failed the test, which he argued comes when the S&P 500 drops 10% or more and stays down. If Bitcoin dropped 20% to 30% with equities falling, then the macro asset thesis was broken, he said.
