People are hesitant to buy when the Bitcoin price is crashing because they thought that it will continue to drop into oblivion. But once Bitcoin surges those who missed the opportunity to buy during the dump get FOMOed buying even when Bitcoin is at its peak.
I wonder how much longer it will take for people to realize that low prices are a CHANCE to buy, not some kind of disappointment.
I suspect there are many reasons that accompany people not to buy cheap in 2022 so it may not always be about fear. It was the economy and inflation that forced me to adjust spending and investment, so to be honest a lot of people would probably think the same as me even though they actually bought less than they wanted to buy.
True the availability of funds for present and future plan is one of the reason why some people are not buying during this bear market but for those who have funds still avoid to buy Bitcoin because they think they are catching a falling knife. Little that they know that they regret skipping this bear market because Bitcoin is bound to greater heights every cycle.
They buy at the top of the market, and then they say that bitcoin is a pyramid scheme and a scam.
This show the lack of knowledge of a person saying this stuff. If they are knowledgeable about the Bitcoin market, they will not buy on top but instead, wait for the market to correct or at a bear market trend. If they say that Bitcoin is a pyramid scheme then we can label all things a pyramid scheme since Bitcoin is traded in an open market just like any commodities and assets.
