1.Bitcoin is a bubble?Yes,the Bitcoin market can form price bubbles.Every financial market is forming price bubbles.Is there something wrong with that?
2.The "crypto whales"/"crypto elite" is a bunch of greedy scammers.
Well,some of them can be called scammers,some of them are actually legit.Bitcoin cannot be called a scam only because scammers are using it.Being greedy is still not considered a crime.
3.Bitcoin is an investment/speculation tool rather than a real currency.
This is partially true and there's nothing we can do about it.
However, bitcoin is definitely not a bubble because there's no bubble actually that can sustain its value and foundation over a decade.
The market is really reactive to news specially in regulation and banning issues but doesnt mean that we would really burst up.
The market isnt something just like before where it is established by hype and fomo.Now we do have that strong support and adoption.
In the past Whales create panic waves through massive move of funds/creating some fake news on exchange hacks. People used to react instantly and the market crash happens all the way. Now people are good enough with better learning and understanding about the market. So, negative news and all doesn't make big impact over the market. The correction and other support movements were taking place on its own.
