The accumulation of 70% of Bitcoin remaining stationary for over a year is a significant milestone. Just think despite Bitcoin's rise from $15,700 to around $37,000 in the last 12 months, a vast majority hasn't budged. I vividly recall the November 2022 FTX crisis when Bitcoin's price plummeted, critics predicted its demise, and the media celebrated prematurely.
Yet, none of this affected Bitcoin holders.They held firm and even increased their holdings over the next year. Despite complexities like geopolitics or Fed policy, the basics remain: supply and demand. With stagnant supply and increasing demand, the price is bound to rise. This aligns with Satoshi Nakamoto's insights, buying a scarce asset only drives its price higher.
The lesson is clear
Conviction matters. Accumulating and holding onto a scarce asset, regardless of volatility, can yield rewards. Looking ahead, with factors like the halving, potential policy changes, and a potential Bitcoin ETF approval, the next 18-24 months promise excitement. The world is slowly realizing the power of a dedicated group accumulating a scarce asset. it's an intriguing time for Bitcoin. Cheers to what lies ahead.
