This price is a joke for BTC's potential. Of course all we can do is hope. But it makes me wonder why it's not happening yet. Right now BTC is cheap as peanuts. Luckily 1 BTC = 1 BTC.
I agree 100%. BTC is very cheap at the moment because its price is being suppressed.
Who is doing it?
IMO there are at least a few people who want to destroy bitcoin because it collides with their plans of launching CBDCs. For this reason we're witnessing a coordinated attack on bitcoin from a number of US Congress reps, the World Economic Forum members and institutions like World Bank.
You can call it a conspiracy theory, but I'm fairly certain the following events are a part of the campaign against bitcoin:
FTX and its bankruptcy. SBF was so tightly connected with politicians and Gensler that it's not a coincidence that he was lobbying for regulation and after his bankruptcy we are getting exactly that regulations times ten.
The attacks on Custodia Bank by the SEC and Federal Reserve. Its CEO said a few times that there's an anti-crypto lobby actively working to stop crypto companies from getting money and permits.
The recent debates in congress against bitcoin mining when representatives for power companies came to testify that they see no problems in mining and don't see any shortages caused by miners.
So why are they trying to stop mining if it has no negative influence on people's lives? Because they can attack all altcoins with the "security narrative" and tax them, but since bitcoin is a commodity the only way is to attack its funding (banks) and mining by trying to paint it as "useless". I've heard some guy claim (at a Congress hearing) that bitcoin mining should be banned because "we" don't need it. I don't know who he meant by "we" and who gave him the right to represent all Americans, but that's what came out of his mouth.
