Bitcoin’s “Independent Streak”: Max Keiser’s Take on Crypto and Tech Stocks

Max Keiser—think of him as the financial world’s own version of a conspiracy-theorist with a Bitcoin obsession—has taken to X (yes, that social media platform formerly known as Twitter) to squash a popular rumor: that Bitcoin dances cheek-to-cheek with tech stocks.

“Bitcoin was never coupled with anything”

Keiser, who doubles as an advisor to El Salvador’s president (because every country needs someone passionately shouting “To the moon!” at all hours), commented on a tweet spotlighting Josh Brown’s take. Brown, CEO of Ritholtz Wealth Management, mentioned that Bitcoin “decoupled from the Nasdaq” lately. Translation: Bitcoin might be ghosting tech stocks like a jilted Tinder date.

Our vocal Bitcoin maximalist here said, boldly, that Bitcoin’s been marching to “its own vector” all along—whatever that means exactly. His tagline, “Everything goes to zero against Bitcoin,” now sounds like something you’d find engraved on a cultist’s t-shirt. And like any true zealot, he’s dusted off his crystal ball and predicts Bitcoin soaring to a cool $220,000 soon, because why not?

Bitcoin was never coupled with anything.

Bitcoin has always been on its own vector.

Everything goes to zero against Bitcoin

On the other side of this hot debate, Mike McGlone of Bloomberg Intelligence keeps things delightfully gloomy. He insists Bitcoin’s cozy relationship with tech stocks isn’t a fantasy but a prelude to an epic crash—reminiscent of the dot-com bust of 2000. Remember that? Yeah, take a deep breath and maybe diversify your investments a little.

Bitcoin touches $95,000

Despite the drama, Bitcoin just casually swaggered past the $95,000 mark. Timing, as always, is everything—especially with Paul Atkins, a pro-crypto former SEC commissioner, newly appointed as SEC chairman. On April 22, Atkins was sworn in and promised to treat digital currencies with fairness, presumably meaning fewer surprise audits and more “let’s get rich” vibes.
