If that's what you choose to believe, then it's on you. I really don't know why so many investors thinks that the halving will just magically push Bitcoins price to the moon. I think investors who has this mind set are those who really don't understand Bitcoin and it's past halving. Yes a lot of us were excited about the halving, which of cause from past halvings event, Bitcoins price is followed by a new breakthrough in its movement. But did this Happen immediately after the past halving? Nope. If you check properly, it literally took months before Bitcoins price made a significant movement from its past halvings. So why all these pressure now?

I understand everything you said but what I don't understand is the transaction fee they are now charging, I lost a lot from a single transaction 😭😭
