You can't guarantee anything as far as future returns. Yes, Bitcoin has more investors. But the number of active investors is rapidly declining, faster than anticipated. That's why I referenced Coinbase. Most people bought at or near the top. Most of them are not going to throw more money at it. Especially since many opened new accounts with free government stimulus money.

Breh once again the number of holders and wallets has increased ten fold. The retail money doesn't really make bitcoin move like it has the last two years. Its the institutional money. These governments, big money and corporations.

Its like the stock market. Most folks don't have money in the stock market. But big money, governments (such as pensions), corporations, wall street and funds (such as folks 401K) have money in it.

Bitcoin will be no different. I tell you what up this thread in 2025 and lets see what the price is.

Wrong. It’s not like the stock market at all. The total combined market cap of the biggest publicly traded companies is $85 trillion. Total crypto is only $1.2 trillion. Crypto could collapse 90% and have negligible impact on the financial system. And individual crypto investors can definitely be the catalyst behind major moves. According to Bank of America, it only takes $93M to move Bitcoin by 1%. Once Tether collapses (which is a very real possibility since they most likely don’t have the underlying dollars to compensate holders in the event of mass redemption), crypto will collapse like a MF and it will be over. Tether was very close to collapsing two weeks ago. And unlike the stock market, central banks and governments aren’t going to save crypto. In fact, some believe they want it to collapse to help ease the labor shortage.

Lol this thread should’ve never been bushed.
Naah its right to be bushed. But Bitcoin has moved in boom and bust cycles for 12 years or so. At the tops this stuff looks silly. When a bear market is going, they look prophetic in ways.

Pretty much. Its been the same narrative. Just add this thread and these posters to the list. It will continue on the same way as always.

I am curious though on how many more cycles there will be before folks finally 'get it' and realize that they have watched this thing make them look silly for so damn long. I think the fact that the bear markets make these dudes feel vindicated enough that it just extends to the whole thing repeating itself. Its wild reading some of those articles crowing about Bitcoin really being 'dead this time' from 2013-2018.

Same people that were laughing when it crashed to $3,000 in Dec 2018 are laughing today because it has crashed 'down' to $30,000. :gucci:

shyt is wild.

The next economic crash will most likely be a depression so this is when I see bitcoin dying. It will go up at first because everyone will take their money out of stuff to put it in bitcoin. But as the days and weeks go they’ll realize how bad the crash is and that they don’t have money either and they can’t do anything with bitcoin. The dominos will start falling after.
