What exactly are you saying contradicting yourself,
IMO i think bitcoin would actually surpass its last ATH and hit about 100k which is a very good hit for this year and we know that the bull market is fuel by scarcity and new investors, which I'm sure one part is fully taken care of, even if not to the extent that it should, but with the ETF approval more investors are now more confident about investing in bitcoin and more big players are entering the stage with huge capital, front loading their investment with some millions. I think its quite clear now to everyone that bitcoin is a more reliable means to store value than fait, but most investors coming in might not be looking out to bitcoin for the empowerment it brings like full control over your asset and value without government regulation, decentralized p2p and all that, they all see bitcoin as a new means to invest and are just here for the profits.
But if your holding you don't want to lose your bitcoin to new investors or big players, the value of bitcoin is clear to the world, you would need to tighten your hands more than ever.
