Wouldn't be surprised if we go sideways at 10k for a while.... or get some crazy flashcrashes.
On the way up we will get some people leaving at 19k since they want to get out break-even
It could be Bitcoin itself, but i'm 100% sure that it's not just bitcoin but the people as well having Fomo and such abuse/pumping/dumping. And the FUD's/Media are also the number one benefactor why people sell coins, scalpers not investors i guess.
I agree with you sir, no one to blame other than us people.
For me the Golden times where back in 2011 when i almost bought bitcoins but i did not. And it was one of the biggest financial regrets i ever have up to now.
FOMO will always be there, it's a good sign i guess. Some people just doesn't have enough resources both information and financial.
And people who got late are being scalped by bounce players and whales. Sad truth and it happens to some of us here as well, but buying BTC is still better than investing in a bank. Bank investment in it's true form is just a way to scam people, making them think that they are saving and earning.
