I have been buying small amounts of bitcoin for over 10 years.
How valid is your statement about this - I really doubt its validity.
An early investor who has been buying bitcoin and accumulating it for 10 years straight would not be asking what's next on many people who may be just starting their journey in bitcoin. It's really unfair for you if all your stories are true - but you should be able to tell us how your experience was in maintaining the psychology of being a holder for that long and not selling your bitcoin at ATH 2021.
I was in doubt when I first read the OP as well but we never can tell, he might be telling the truth. Many might be earning from Bitcoin but do not have deep knowledge about the coin, and I have some friends in his category too, so this made me boycott any further arguments with him. Some might just invest the money due to what a friend or family told them and continue with their normal life especially when the money is little and they are busy themselves. Not everybody is so kin with internet investments or has the opportunity to read much about what they commit their money to.
Just like me, I knew so little about Bitcoin until I joined BTCt, I was so naive about it even though I knew it was an investment opportunity and I have been a trader for a long time. I even traded Bitcoin on the traditional brokers' platform but didn't invest in it then or do any research. So, to have known or invested in Bitcoin for that long doesn't mean he is deeply rooted in it. To now make matters work, some will even invest through a friend or relative without so much knowledge about how it is being done, they will just give them the money to do everything for them. That might shock you, but as I am typing I remembered two people I know in that category. If they come to this forum to write the way the OP did, people could doubt them too, but it is the truth.
On the time that you do step your foot into this market then you are really that being too optimistic about positive things, then it did start for you to experience the opposite direction or condition then this is where you would really be molding up those kind of bad impressions that it isnt something interesting anymore or something that be calling that it isnt that hype anymore just like on where it get used to.
Now that we are on a phase were adoption and recognition is really taking place on which having those institutional involvement is really that starting now on which it might be one of the cause
on why the price isnt really that moving much? We cant really be able to draw up conclusions basing into that.
Just we should bare up in mind that when it comes to adoption and recognition then this is something inevitable.There's no such thing about assured future on which
it is really just that normal that we can make out those assumptions but its not guarantee that it would happen.
