BTC

Arbiter_89

Some have. Saylor, Cuban, Musk, CZ, Armstong, and the Winklevoss twins all own BTC. As for why most of them haven't invested huge portions of their portfolio: With your portfolio, you typically have 1 of 2 goals: 1. High Acumulation 2. Sustaining Wealth High acumulation usually occurs by investing huge percentages of your portfolio into very few investments that you are confident in. This means if they do really well then you do really well, but it's risky because if they do really poorly then you do really poorly. Usually you do this if you're younger and don't have much to lose. Sustaining wealth usually occurs through diversification. If a part of your portfolio does really poorly that's ok because it's balanced by the rest of your portfolio but if part of it does really well you only go up marginally because the gain is averaged against your other investments. Usually you do this when you're older and your portfolio has a lot to lose. All this is to say: most billionaires don't believe in BTC enough to risk a huge segment of their portfolio on it, but many will take a stake in it.

Yesthisisdogmeow

Remember when we were at all time high and all the bulls laughing at the gay bears? This is the reverse. It’s easy to say it’s over for BTC, no upside this only going to zero, all of it. I have no idea where this will go in a few years but I know one thing. They keep printing the dollar and at this point they have no other choice but to keep printing.

owen__wilsons__nose

BTC was 67k on election night I believe. 60k today doesn't look too great

crazy_lolipopp

Everyone who shorted does. I'd still enjoy it if I didn't have one because we should want BTC to go as low as possible during a bear market for optimal buying opportunity. But what I'm enjoying the most is the fact that I sold everything last year. Can't imagine if I still held any shit at this stage.

Preme2

I started nibbling at BTC for the first time in a while. Sold all my BTC late last year. Placed about 25% of my cash stack.

MrT_IDontFeelSoGood

BTC has crashed more than 70% after reaching every past cycle’s peak. The 70% drawdown is around 37.8k so DCAing in around there is a pretty logical thing to expect. Nothing guaranteed but if the cycle is still intact then that’s the math.

johnfromma

Trouble is he came to the worst place on the internet for investing advice where many treat Bitcoin like a religion. Following the logic, if he shouldn't have bought then he should sell immediately. BTC is not for those with a weak risk tolerance.

Suprem3NE

Unless it’s over 100k. Sit down. Shit be like when oui inmates cry in front of lifers. I got in at 69k and watched it drop to 24k- this is what it is to be a BTC guy

EatMaTesticles

After the 2021 ATH BTC dropped 74%. Still long way to go…

Typical-Snow3034

Hey! CoinRabbit team here. This can work, but I would treat it as leverage, not just "using your BTC better." The main question is whether the loan survives a sharp drawdown without forcing you to sell at the worst moment. APR matters, but LTV and liquidation level matter more. CoinRabbit supports BTC-backed loans with fixed APR and no rehypothecation, but I would still keep the loan size conservative. The point is to stay flexible, not to turn one BTC position into a fragile one.

MikeMiller8888

Look at this guy’s post history and start the downvotes. He’s a troll. Doubt he holds a single sat. But he loves farming karma, with his 5500 BTC wallet recovery in 2010 and hos hawking of Hawkcoin 🤣🤣🤣

CreatureComfortRedux

And BTC had a 2.5T market cap 10 months ago. AI is riding the same "trust me bro" wave crypto surged from. They are both non-tangable markets. AI was suppose to take all white collar jobs 6 months ago. Its clowned on by most folks not in the space just like crypto. If you are ignoring the similarities its because you're bias or invested.

ParfaitQuick8426

You're not screwed. You simply got in at the wrong time..in 2028 to 2029 it will go to about 200 to 250k. BTC ebbs and flows. Every 4 years, BTC halves. It begins the process in 2028. In 2029 it'll peak. In 2030 and 2031, it'll sleep again, in 2032 the process starts anew. Halving, Peak, drop, dormant. We're 2 years from the halving, 3 years from the peak again.

BlockMiners

I originally bought some at $17-18k. It then dropped to $4,500. So I bought more. Don't buy BTC unless you are willing to hold it for at least 5 years. If you can do that, then you will be in good shape.

LargeSnorlax

My stocks are doing fantastic and my crypto is fine as always, I was mining BTC when it was 3 digits You're the dude bear posting about both stocks and here lol

Aerocryptic

Too late to sell (if we're talking about BTC)

Milcah_Ganderton

Because there's only 21 million BTC total and most of it's already distributed across millions of holders - good luck convincing them all to sell at once, plus the price would moon so hard it'd become economically insane before you bought even a fraction. Also billionaires mostly care about returns and liquidity, not hoarding an asset they can't easily dump without tanking the market.

farfromfine

Isn't there a thing that BTC has hit every number at least twice except for ATH and one price around 12k or so?  I hope it goes back to get that one again

caccamo88

I'll bet you mean your first 10$ in BTC

Ok-Sympathy9768

I know it’s an awful feeling and it sucks..But at this point, you may have no choice but to hodl.. this not financial advice; IMO, the chances bitcoin gets back above 120k is far greater than it going to zero( it may take a few years though, but probably sooner)…. Bitcoin feels like a bimodal trade .. in the next decade bitcoin is either going to zero or to a million, and you bought it at 124k. Pot odds favor hodling…. Also, the amount of money is a matter of perspective.. I sold off almost my entire stack in tranches from 90k -70k ( with a little exposure left in ETFs) and lost well over a million in profits, for me that amount was significant, for others it’s not, for some people 1k is significant.. I did what I had to do because I couldn’t go through another down cycle and at this point it was still significant profits to take off the table from my perspective. If you did not get your BTC exposure in a tax advantaged account, if you sold it and tax harvested the losses and rebought in again, this possibly can help save you money and be a good strategy… but not sure and definitely not financial advice.

Zestyclose-Invite129

Sell and buy back.....take the realized loss and keep your BTC

stefansilva_xrp

problem is opportunity costs. BTC in 2021 was 69k Eth was 4.8k last year it topped at 126k and 4.9k today the BTC ratio is 0.026 the low today in 2022 was 0.05 if the high in the next Bitcoin bullrun ETH is at 0.026 then BTC will need to hit 190k for ETH to reach 4.9k again

ctrader001

BTC is going to keep dropping until around October. So no it’s not a good strategy

Low_Carpet9764

Plan was simple, get HELOC, throw it at BTC in bear market, borrow against BTC+ HELOC combined holdings VERY low LTV and you have effectively increased holdings dramatically with basically 0 chance of liquidation

BeginningMost6014

You prob bought your BTC at $120k

ResonanceCascade1998

Haha you would think. I watched it completely blow up soon after covid and everyone thought 100k was inevitable it seemed. It went from still being slightly niche to being on superbowl ads and the institutional backing more than every seen before. Yet it still crashed to 15k. In the same vein I've seen meme cycles come and go as the opportunity presents itself to people. I think countries that pivoted towards adopting BTC was a sign of what was to come to be honest and not in a good way. This was a sign of bad actors infiltrating the system with the power of nations behind them, I just never expected the US President to directly launch a scam..not only that but I personally watched his wallet in REAL TIME rug a project from a passionate dev right before he took office again. Now the ecosystem is saturated with grifts and it will take a while for many to die off. I think this is also a reason many people fled the ecosystem. That being said I do expect more innovation and adoption. Like someone before me said "every failure was a step in the right direction" and just about everything failed. Not in concept but in execution. I except things to go south especially given recent events but I don't think its the end

stefansilva_xrp

Look at ETHBTC 2021 0.08 today we are at 0.026 in this ratio BTC has to go to 150k for ETH to hit 4k again

popoppopcorn

Yes, relax and don't sell at a loss. The FUD spreaders will say BTC is dead as they always do during these times and you will feel an immense pressure to sell at a loss. Don't fall for it.

Ill-Sea291

When Saylor cries uncle. I can't see him not selling at all if BTC hits 50k. STRC is 93$ atm

Ill-Sea291

Bullish how? Market adjusts for it, by lowering the price of BTC

Comfortable-Ant-418

I would argue it's strengthening BTC since it's proving the 4 year cycle yet again. This type of pattern having a longer track record will strengthen confidence in the future.

DontLook_Weirdo

Virtually there is no billionaire on earth whose liquid, and getting approvals to spend money on a highly volatile asset is something they'd rather not deal with. We have a better chance "risking it all" vs. millionaires who *do* buy BTC but do not 'go all in', and this is the case with the grand majority of people who are well off...they have BTC, they just don't use all their money for it.

MarkyMark4Eva

lol not for me. BTC isn't going anywhere imo. It's essentially becoming institutionalized at this point and is a smart buy imo.

JONNYQUE5T

I’m not being a smartass, but if someone wants to own more BTC, and the price keeps going down, this is an ideal scenario to acquire more.

Comfortable-Ant-418

The thing is, if you bought BTC while actually believing in the technology behind it, these ebbs and flows don't really matter for the long-term vision. They are likely going to buy back in when it's even cheaper. That might not make sense for you, but when you're moving millions, selling at 60k and using that money to move back into BTC at 30k you've essentially doubled millions just by believing in the 4 year cycle. Of course this is a very bullish case but I do get the feeling that the overall sentiment is bullish, which is why greedy strategies like this aren't surprising.

commandrix

Simple version: Not everybody sells their BTC even when the price plummets, plus some people lost access to their BTC which makes it impossible for them to do anything with it even if they wanted to. Plus, no one really knows who or where Satoshi Nakamoto is or whether he, she, or they even still have access to their BTC...

RavanNotts

I finally reached 1/3 BTC with my DCA-buy today. 0.5 shall be the next milestone.

Blackiris-Code

If BTC drops to 50k USD, and SOL drops by the same percentage, SOL would drop to 54 USD. But I'd bet that there is going to be enough buyers at 58~60 USD for SOL and ~55k USD for BTC to stop the fall at that level. I'd still keep cash for the case it falls even further, but I don't really believe it.

CapitalIncome845

All BTC are not for sale.

JonnyBigBoss

Always diversify. BTC is a high risk gamble. S&P500 grows fast and so do many other assets. Don't get greedy; saving is a long term play. 

Matilda_1994

Yes, I don't think this is a bad thing. I think it also means we can buy BTC at a lower price

watch-nerd

My BTC buys are in the 40s.

Fine_Employment_3364

If you are just now a newcomer you missed the boat. You can make money on the predictable swings long term, but unless you're already rich, BTC won't make you rich.

XLinkJoker

Only buy AI stocks with any spare cash you might have, AI will still grow a lot, don’t sell BTC at a loss for it though, only spare piles of cash.

Emergency-Plum-1981

Yep that’s the secret to investing- sell whatever crashes at the bottom, and use that loss to buy whatever is doing well at the top. When your AI stocks tank and BTC reaches a new ATH in 3 years, make sure to do the same thing again.

Androoboodro

Swapped BTC for fiat in November, DCA’ing from that stack all the way down. Stoked the cycle is playing out so consistently. 2029 gonna be fun 😎

Abject-Stretch-1187

If this was truly the case, then BTC won’t be anywhere near 5 figures. It would be closer to 0. So you’re most likely a fudder or you have no clue or even both. I’m sticking with “both” 

Abject-Stretch-1187

Then go buy AI stocks. BTC isn’t meant to be appealing as it never was. It has always spent most of its time falling in price or just ranging. You would know this if you have spent a considerable amount of time in the space. It isn’t flashy, it is spectacularly boring hence why pump chasers don’t like it or make up nonsensical narratives about it.

Forded_Fiction24

So sell low, buy high? The time to rotate was years ago. I bought my AI stocks back in 2014. If anything I'll be rotating some of those profits to BTC.

supersourskitz

I did this a month ago and made 70% return from what was my BTC holdings

Abject-Stretch-1187

No one is dismissing the possibility as 0. The odds are low is the point because something like BTC tends to occur just once hence why I don’t truly believe you actually understand the thesis when/if you’re entertaining such a possibility in the first place hence fake conviction. 

Emotional-Wheel8219

I mean I heard in this sub, BTC is limited supply which is 21M. The rich has if he has more better no? (Since low supply = greater demand)

DankgisKhan

So many people in this sub lack a fundamental understanding of finance and economics. The institutional money, you know, the very thing that took BTC over 100k, is essentially the biggest fish you could ever dream of entering the crypto market. There's really not much more you can ask for. If the biggest American institutional players exit or substantially drawdown their interest in crypto, then there's literally no bigger fish to pass the buck to and recover the market. And those exact market forces are currently enamoured with AI and quantum computing. With that being said, I don't think BTC will ever die completely. It's much more likely to continue the same as past trends, just in a much lower range. ie, I wouldn't at all be surprised if BTC bounces between 15 and 50k for the next 10 years, or something to that effect.

realitynofantasy

I will DCA until a set amount that I will hold until old age (possibly pass to children). Once I reach that, I will still continue DCA and have a set amount of BTC for it then place it in a wallet then use that plan to use it after 10 years. Then I continue DCA, pattern goes on. The main thing is I accumulate first for what I would hold the longest, and then have a new wallet for others.

tommazikas

Now you can buy more, it will definitely decrease your overall entry price. If you came just to speculate well you entered the room at the wrong time, but if you come for long keep, now you can buy more BTC at 50%off. Sounds like a bargain. I did the same thing and bought BTC for a first time when it reached 19k for a first time, in tanked very quickly after. Now I wish I could buy BTC for 19k.

FranklinCook

Im in my mid 20s, studied BTC for around half a year before i was convinced to make it part of my portfolio. My investing time horizon is around 40 years. So with my current knowledge about investing, time is your biggest friend. Im not here to trade, im not here to have the best timing - Im just here to have fundamentally strong investments in my portfolio to gain long term wealth.

ProceduralTaco

Stable coins are the use case. BTC was good for money laundering, tax evasion, getting money out of bad banking regimes. Stable coins are better at that now. BTCs are still collectible but they can go up or down independently because no one has to buy them.

freeradioforall

> may be different from past times. Of course. BTC isn't some sentient being. Its value reflects buyers and sellers. Its possible it goes to a million, its possible it drops to $5k and stays there for a decade.

Abject-Stretch-1187

Yah you definitely had no idea what you were buying if you genuinely believe that AI wil magically just create a better iteration of BTC. This kind of talk is bear market talk mixed with fake conviction. 

IndustrialPuppetTwo

BTC is a shit coin but it has an 24 hour average trading of $50 billion dollars a day and is too big to fail at this point. So it's a thing, whatever that thing is, and it just keeps going.

OddRecognition6214

55% of BTC supply still in profit is exactly the kind of halfway state that keeps fear sticky. The loud part is the drawdown; the quieter part is how long it takes sentiment to catch up.

beanbalance

>The BTC maxis are the most delusional out of all of them. agreed.

Lavayo

OP should tell us when they sell. It will be the exact bottom. @OP: listen, I know it's hard. But stick with it. Most people here are convinced we will hit millions including me. But no one expects a clean ride upwards. BTC did nothing out of the ordinary. If anything it follows the 4 year cycle eerily well. You bought the top. So what. The prices we have now were "extreme greed" top territory in 2021. Then it dropped to 16k. We pumped to 126k, and now the former high region is the price region many people check out. In 2030, the 120k region might very well be the bottom area that shakes people out of their BTC that bought in 29. Nothing fundamental changed. It's the same BTC you bought in October, the market it pricing it differently. Things will turn around.

Escapement_Watch

BTC has died over 400 times so far! MORE TO COME!

Abbreviations_Royal

All I know is that if you liked BTC at 124k, you should love it at 60k...the fundamentals havent changed, just narratives. Then again, you never go full regard...

PickForward5864

Right. This is the firesale prices and the time that you buy. You buy the news and run in when everyone is leaving. This is so normal in the middle of a cylce for the bear season to happen. I would buy the dips. The headlines do not make or breeak bitcoin but will tell you when to buy on the low. Some people coudl have sold 1 BTC at $124,000 and held their cash and now buy back in owning TWO btc.

DavidssonA

Welcome to the madness!! Do nothing. Its a vital life lesson. All you have to do is absolutely nothing and absolutely nothing has happened. You have the same amount of BTC as you did. Buy more... or do nothing.

Bronstagga

God I love this thread - nowhere else in the world can you find such strong convictions of people who have little to no financial background doling out finance advice like they’re ringing bells on Wall Street. You went to I’mright.com and it proved your well researched Bitcoin hypothesis, congrats. Maybe you threw two grand at it in 2014 and have some cash to show for it, good for you. I say this as a small BTC owner who simply has seen zero non- internet hype reasoning that would lead BTC to a million dollars or any intrinsic value that will sustain the growth; 17 years in and still no clear path to real world utility value outside of “scarcity” and buying K2 off a dark web site. But hey, you’ll tell me I’m a blind sheep.

2peg2city

Lmao, every single other alt that performed better is also PoS. PoS had nothing to do with it, Solana having a paid marketing department and being the center of the shitcoin casino, BTC being thr target of wall street is what caused it

CookieCuttr

Once BTC dips below 60k I imagine the floodgates will fucking open.

Stacy-Said

Gold is also falling, obviously alot less aggressively than BTC, especially since 15/01. Considering all the global avents as of lately, i personally think all this BTC apparent selloff is in preparation of a huge pump. Like they say "You buy when blood is flowing down the streets"

Saffuran

Smart money sees Bitcoin breaking down and knows what happens to most other alts when BTC is having its sharpest downturns.

knallerbsee

I dont think so. He is buying thousands of BTC and it did not effect the price. Now he is selling 35(?) BTC?

Sensitive_Horse_625

The magician knew it was 38 because that’s the one number (1-64) that doesn’t appear on any of the six hollowed cards. When the volunteer said “It’s strange, I can’t find this number!”, it meant he didn’t turn over a single card, none showed his number. The magician (who knows how this trick is built) immediately realizes it’s the single “missing” combination. Every other number appears on a unique subset of the cards, so the all-normal stack always reveals that one leftover number, which in this setup is 38. Two key insights: It’s basically binary with the card rotations. Each card is one “bit.” If your number is on the card you flip it, if not you leave it. When stacked on the Franklin square card, the holes always line up on exactly one cell. The host’s calculation in the first round (32+16+8+2 etc) is just decoding that binary address. The “all unflipped” case is the one number deliberately left off every overlay. The Franklin magic square + the engineered missing spot. The seventh card is a perfect 8x8 Franklin square. The six overlays are carefully designed around it so every number except one has a unique pattern of appearances. The images you shared help confirm 38 is the one that’s absent from all six. The magician doesn’t need to see the cards or the volunteer’s actions beyond hearing “can’t find it.” The final Chinese grid is a nice layered message (64 + 89 = 8964 reference, plus the BTC reward amount and the “banned in China” line). It’s a subtle show of encouragement and remembrance. Cool puzzle - the dream framing, the math, and the subtext all work together perfectly. Thanks for sharing!

ElMasAltoDeLosEnanos

I've been following BTC for more than 10 years. There's no reason for it to stop at ~60k. I believe this is just the beginning.

Eppursimuove1633

Z cash crash is funny and predictable. All the crypto brows been pushing it last several weeks to pump their bags and now look. Always ignore them. There has also been a coordinated FUD campaign on these groups against crypto in general (except for Z cash and former shit like Sui) for two to three months trying to get everyone to sell their major blue chip crypto like ETH and BTC and buy tech stocks at their peak instead. Sell crypto low, but stocks at historical high. Soon those stocks will dump and money will cycle back into crypto. Fun to watch the coaster, lot easier than chasing it.

Consistent-Stage-217

doing small weekly BTC buys

jsh63

15% residential property, 5% commercial property, 35% in a business, 35% pension, 10% BTC

IndustrialPuppetTwo

Buy low, sell high. That's what it comes down too. If you want to be a trader then you need to set goals and try not to be greedy. BTC is at $62K right now. If you put $1000 in today then set a goal of selling it at $1500. You can even automate this stuff to take the psychology out of it. Otherwise just dollar cost average in and hold it for 20 years or till you retire.

Azatis-

Usecases do not matter in case of BTC. People do not heavily invest for example in Gold because of its usecase.

ConfusedInKalamazoo

This just boils down to Better being willing to lend against BTC with 2.5X coverage and probably also secured by your house.

Fine_Employment_3364

The days of getting rich in BTC are long gone. As we speak it's showing itself as a horrible inflation hedge and store of value. Nearing the next halving we will see an uptick, but nowhere near the jump of the past ones. It's a speculative asset. I may pick some up after further drops, but you'll never see 10x short term gains again. It's proven to be a horrible attempt to replace fiat and a tempting gamble for those that weren't in early. Sure, many made fortunes on it, but of you want to get rich with $10,000 it won't be with BTC.

Independent_Wear5840

If you had loaned your BTC etc... as you should be doing, you would have had lots of interest over the past few years. You also would have received airdrops and sold for profit, example being uni. I don't think it's fair to look at it as flat... If I had kept my Canadian dollars in a savings account I would also be loser.

TheHunterAmin

Keep believing it will be that forever. Bcz if that does BTC will be dead flat someday / or crashing to zero, which is impossible. All depends on the business cycle / monetary policy. If we get that big crisis like the financial crisis (yes BTC was created after this crisis) the whole business cycle reset and that means the economy will lead into a renewed economy expension phase. I strongly believe the deminishing return thesis will break after we hit the big crisis. You could argue we had COVID. But that was a intermediate crisis. The FED printed is out very very easy out this short crisis, which is not a real end of a business cycle.

Leynnox

Why are you talking about NFT? This has nothing to do with BTC, NFT was about purchasing the ownership of a digital product, letting you using it for personal and commercial use. The fact people used that for selling chimp pictures, and making billions from people stupidity and greed, that has nothing to do with the tech itself.

I_Like_Tartar_Sauce

Fuck BTC and fuck Michael Seller.

AsbestosDude

BTC absolutely has utility. Its one of the few viable globally accessible decentralized cryptos.  The utility is i can access my bitcoin from anywhere on the planet using an internet connection.

Rygards

Pretty fair. Fee is minimal: fractions of a penny + .85%  And they don't gouge you by selling you 60k BTC when the price is 62k like most CEXs

siorge

talk about terrible advice. for a normie, out of all crypto, BTC is by far the best choice.

Patient-Ordinary-359

there is no investing in BTC, only speculation. it's stressful for the same reason that roulette is stressful.

Elmaster110

If you don't believe in BTC nor wanna buy it just buy a stock of your choice mate. If you don't mind risking believing BTC will go up then buy it. Out of all the cryptos it's the safer choice.

mne1237

Its nostly these tech stocks that have been overperforming crypto in the past few years. I just dont know if BTC's core value remains in this new age of AI. Intel pulled a 5x in the past year, while I'm here making a negative return if i sell now. I will probably hold as its already dipped enough, there must be a floor somewhere.

Patient_Craft2195

Polmax already nailed part of it — INR isn't freely convertible. But even setting that aside, "just buy USD" misses three things: 1. **You can't, legally and easily.** Indians have a $250k/year cap on foreign currency holdings (LRS limit), heavy reporting, no resident dollar bank accounts. It's not like opening a Robinhood account. 2. **USD is also being inflated.** Just slower than INR. Holding USD long-term still loses \~2-3% purchasing power per year. It's a better leak than INR, not a fix. 3. **USD is still permissioned money.** Bank freezes, sanctions, capital controls — the dollar is excellent until the issuer decides it isn't. Ask anyone holding USD in a country the US fell out with. Bitcoin solves all three: no convertibility limit, fixed supply (not inflated), no issuer to revoke access. That's the actual click — not "BTC > USD," but "permissionless > permissioned.

VOdysseusV

Not totally sold on Bitcoin going down much more. I understand the four year cycle but now we have institutional investors. With the clarity act around the corner, institutional buyers, ETFs, banks and brokerages steadily offering services, inflationary environment and interest rates coming down by a forced fed. I could easily see BTC hovering for a while then rapidly shooting up. This pro crypto environment is not on shaky ground anymore. Everyone claiming BTC going to 40-50K could be wrong. IMO. This seems simply like a puppeteer moving markets to get discounts before the clarity act passes. (Supposedly July 4th). The government/business world seems very crypto forward. To me, all of this is just a buying opportunity. But time will tell.

Aromatic_Citron_3678

I’ve run into the same issue, moving BTC back and forth just to spend it gets annoying pretty quickly. There isn’t really one “best” crypto card because fees, supported countries and spending limits vary a lot. I usually check CryptoCards.so first since it compares different crypto cards side by side (fees, cashback, supported regions, etc.), which makes it easier to see what actually works for your situation before signing up

Leynnox

BTC is not made from thin air, actually, producing a single BTC cost about 60k of energy today.

whisperedstate

The BTC maxis are the most delusional out of all of them. The thesis for alts like ETH is pretty straight forward. It's a tech play, betting that finance will be on crypto rails. The thesis for BTC is number go up.

Lounginguru

People acting like Bitcoin is “dead” every time it dips forget that firms like CryptoQuant were warning about this months ago. Their whole bearish thesis wasn’t “BTC is worthless,” it was that ETF inflows were slowing, stablecoin liquidity was drying up, and on-chain demand growth was collapsing after the 2025 run-up. They basically argued that the same institutional money that helped push BTC up could also accelerate the correction once flows reversed. Whether they’re right long-term is another debate, but the ~$60k support zone they kept talking about ended up being pretty relevant.

liftcookrepeat

Because most people measure their wealth, bills, and spending power in fiat. 1 BTC may still be 1 BTC but if its purchasing power drops 30%, people are going to notice.
