How many days before Bitcoin hits margin call price of $21,000?
Michael Saylor, CEO of MicroStrategy, borrowed money to buy Bitcoin. He has stated that he gets a margin call if Bitcoin tumbles to $21,000.
Margin call
Saylor tries to defuse fears
Pledge more assets
Amazing arrogance

Technically speaking, Bitcoin is on the tip of a major precipice. The next support level is somewhere in the $17,500 to $19,000 level.
That does not guarantee or imply Bitcoin will fall that low, but, this is a bear market and support levels tend to break.
Moreover, the fact that everyone knows where the pain level is, tends a bit to be self-fulfilling.
Thinking this through
Saylor says he will simply pledge more assets. Well that will do nothing but set an even lower pain level.
This can cascade spectacularly.
