Market cap is a bad way to judge the real value of anything.

If you were to sell 50% of all the bitcoin floating around in the world, how much would you impact the price? Would it remain above 40k? 30k? 20k?

What's the cost basis of all the bitcoin holdings in the world?

If the US government cracks down on bitcoin purchases by public companies, what happens to the price of bitcoin?

Skeptics aren't skeptical because of lacking adoption, so they aren't going to be swayed by increasing adoption either.

Also, Facebook isn't some magical Rubicon for asset valuation. It's a company that sells ads.

One of the fundamental problems with "things are going good, what could go wrong?" is that inevitably, every crash is clearest in retrospect.
