For me personally, Bitcoin is the king of the crypto market, just like the collapse of Luna had a huge impact on the market. This is just hypothetical if Bitcoin crashes, then I think other cryptocurrencies and the whole market will crash, so I won't invest anymore.
Actually, I personally still believe and bet on Bitcoin, I also think like you, believe that long-term investment will bring quite high returns.
That's not even a guess, it's a fact. If bitcoin crashes then all of the other coins will crash as well and there is no way around it, the crypto market as a whole would look terrible.
I do not believe that it will though, I think bitcoin already crashed and this is all it can do, there is no scenario where bitcoin is gone, it's going to be here as long as we live and I think it's quite important to know that difference as well, going down a lot like we did in 2022 and going down to nothing are two very different things and I believe that we are not going to be nothing. However, I agree that if we ever do, it will be bad news for every single coin.
Right it already had its crash if we talk about major price declines. Of course it could go lower from here, but I agree that a crash like losing another 60 - 70% from here is not likely. There could be unexpected events though that nobody knows about yet, of course, otherwise they wouldn't be unexpected.
But all the bad indicators that the market has discovered to potentially have a negative impact on the price should also be priced in by now already. Regulation is always an issue, but I think if any important government would have planned something bad that also could come into effect shortly, the market would know about it and react accordingly. Since nothing is waiting just around the corner that could be considered horrible news, I expect the price to be sort of stable.
