I may be overly optimistic, but I think that we've already had the bottom for this year.
However, as said, who cares? Especially as it's agreed that we're still in the bull market.
And no matter what, on the long term (~4 years) it will surely rise (too) big time, so we're just fine.
I'm an optimist too, and since I'm going long term, I don't care much about this sideways. What I do wonder is what would happen if for whatever reason the price goes below $20K. It would be breaking a historical trend, and there some predictive models would have to be rethought.
In any case, I don't think it will happen. I also think we've already hit the bottom and when the price goes up and breaks $40K again, we're going to $100K easy.
The diff dump from 25.04 to 14.? which will soon be to 13.9 is an historical trend that has been broken.
This is new territory.
MY btc mine is earning almost 2x the coin it was in may with no gear expansion.
My btc mine is earning almost the exact amount of fiat if I were to cash the btc as I was in may.
For any gear owner that has paid off gear this is still bull. A paid off s17 makes 50 x 29cent or 14.50 usd a day power is 60kwatts or 6 dollars at 10 cent power that is 14.5-6 = 9.50 a day
he can sell 7.50 of the coin. pay the power pocket 1.50 and hodl 7 usd worth of coin.
The market is holding together due this happening. (my guess)
For instance I can hodl 1 btc in this address
https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/12M8G8N48u1DqFqFUVh7N2axGFWSLh16Pkas long as I want and simply cash the rest of the coins.
My worries are not about price dropping to 20k they are about the diff and where it goes for the next 2 months.
