I didn't change, I have been always skeptical about almost everything.
I thought bitcoin was the answer to the central banking scam, I was wrong because there is a similar scam happening here with tether.
That's not bitcoin's own fault. It is an external attack.
mindrust, you allowed your assumptions to make you lose your trust in Bitcoin. You assumed too many things - Covid19=Armageddon, all hodlers dump their stash and finally tether is a scam used by Bitfinex owners to pump the price of Bitcoin, thus the only reason for its price increase. In reallity none of the above assumptions are true. On 12th March the dump was one of the worst in Bitcoin history but nonetheless not related to the market development. Whether a greater number of holders cashed out to make a living, or manipulators in Bitmex, or both I don't know. But I really don't think many hodlers sold on a loss or a break even price. The percentage of coins not moved over a year remained pretty high - over 60%. It is sad that one of our WO brothers left without a profit. From now on this dump will be officially remembered in WO as the "mindrust dump".
And lastly, about the tether and many others stable coins (and there are litterally tens of them right now). There may be more tethers than USD deposited in tether banks, but to claim that tether owners used them to pump the price in Bitfinex has no grounds. For the last year Bitfinex always trails behind with the lowest volume from all big exchanges. There wasn't a single pump to start there. Stable coins are actually being bought by many for various reasons - easier transfers, avoiding taxes and bans in some countries like China, etc. This is the main thing. You can see from the chart below that many purchases of tether (the same applies for the rest stable coins) were made during the mindrust dump in order to buy bitcoins on these low prices. Clever people buy during crashes and not sell! They know the fear will go away in a few days and then they will be on great profits.
With that regard, it doesn't matter if you are over- or under-invested in Bitcoin. Until you restore your belief in the fundamentals and learn to ignore the non existent threats, you won't be able to make a significant profit. I don't know if we will see 100K in the next 5-10 years, but I believe it is quite possible. Just try to imagine how will you feel then with a profit $1000, while it could have been $1 000 000. The misery will be double, because it won't be the tether which will bring us there, but the fundamentals.
