Is it possible that bitcoin isn't as bullish as we all expected it to be because of the crypto tax that every price gains is likely to invite as a form of capital gains? Lets the math, what is the possibility of the whales and all parties that are affected by the capital gains which will attract this tax in having a hand to control(manipulate) price just so they stay below the tax threshold and buy time to take out their profits?
I don't think that there's relation of taxes and bitcoin's bullish form. It's a different matter and we usually are just relating every move of bitcoin to the market.
So if there's something that's holding back from bitcoin then it's us, we panic sell, we add pressure to the market and that's making others do the same as well.
It is the force that we're having and whatever the whales do, it's the bigger contribution that holds bitcoin's price.
It's true that taxes have nothing to do with the movement of Bitcoin, After all, not all countries impose taxes on income earned from Bitcoin.
So I don't agree that taxes are the reason why Bitcoin prices don't pump, because Bitcoin price movements are based on supply and demand.
If more and more people buy Bitcoin, then the price of Bitcoin will continue to rise. Why is the price of Bitcoin holding back from rising right now,
because there are still more investors selling Bitcoin than buying Bitcoin. Therefore we need good news, to trigger FOMO, so that Bitcoin can go
to the moon. At least for now what we can do is be patient holding Bitcoin until the Bitcoin price recovers again, and don't panic if we see
Bitcoin's performance declining.
