Commodity trader Peter Brandt has stirred debate on crypto Twitter after questioning the meaning that Bitcoin brings to one's life in his recent tweet.  

In response to cryptocurrency journalist Laura Shin, who claims that she doesn't own Bitcoin, the chartist wrote that he doesn't live to trade: 

Bitcoin is absolutely the wrong way to find value in life. I trade to live rather than live to trade. Bitcoin makes a very bad master.
