I'm also holding on to the fact that everyday, lots and lots of bitcoin ATMs are being installed everywhere in the world. This only goes to show that bitcoin is now getting the attention and support of the larger community, and it's getting larger and larger each time. I'm actually not buying the negative reasons, though everything is a possibility. Weighing things out, there are still more good reasons to invest in crypto, particularly in bitcoin, than to be afraid and pull out. It's greatly potential to transform our economic and financial landscapes. If there is the best time to engage in it, it's now, while the bull is still resting. Once it starts running, we cannot chase its price anymore. It's better to try your luck in crypto now than pull back, be left out and cry with regret soon.
I don't know if ATM's though is a good sign that we are getting closer to an adoption. What we really need is merchants readily accepting bitcoin as payment scheme, to say that we can get a large support group or even be globally adopted.
I would understand people being hesitant though, the market is not improving, so why jump in? In a financial stand point, I would rather used my money in other things, instead of investing and just waited it out till the start of the next bull run, but that's just me.
