George Ball, CEO of the billion dollar financial services firm Sanders Morris Harris, advocated that a potential turning point for Bitcoin would begin on Labor Day, September 7th. The prediction came in an interview with Reuters you can watch  here . George Ball made the comments in the context of investors dealing with a summer dull and the effects of COVID. In a context of a stock market heavily inflated and held up solely by the BRRR money printer of fiat and stock buy-backs, the danger of a turning point becomes greater and greater. A looming threat hangs over the market when that market is held up by liquidity and only liquidity.
