They're actively trying to subvert their clients.

Wow, did they actually think people wouldn't notice?

I think there is an accumulation pattern where the big buyer(s?) doesn't want to be very predictable, in the sense that if he buys all the time, traders will front-run him with longs, making his purchases more costly. So he leaves it a bit to correct or even dive, by those taking profits, so that the order books fill-up a bit, perhaps even hoping that shorts get build up by shorters believing that "this might be where the big correction is triggered". Once the price goes 100-200-300$ lower, he then presses the button again and buys everything.

Or something like that...

Some of you are talking about BTC at 50K$ or even 500K$, and this relatively quickly.

It looks great on paper, but aren't you worried that instead of meaning we would all be rich, it would mean the dollar has utterly crashed, the world economy is in shambles, and/or WW3 is going on ?

No. Since there are trillions invested at negative rates or so, the potential that some significant fraction of it smells the coffee and moves in crypto is just a matter of when, not if. That would make an epochal pumping like no one has ever seen.
The mystery for me is why BTC still rules, given that there are technically better alternatives, and given that even I can see some feeble points (no incentives for full nodes to say just one).

Seems like you want to engage in a disinformation campaign, conspirosphere, especially if you are suggesting that there is some crypto out there that is better than BTC?

I don't want to encourage you to pump various shitcoins, but which one(s) is(are) better?  You gonna put your money there?  Can bitcoin adopt some of their supposed better aspects at a later date after the supposed better aspects get tested out?

Firstly, I'm still 90%+ in BTC, so whatever I say against it is against my interest. And yet I'm trying to be honest because I believe that truth pays.

I'm not an expert, but I see several problems with BTC:
- no incentives for full nodes;
- the limited tx throughput together with second level networks could create perverse incentives where some L2 operator spams the main network to direct traffic to his L2;
- the amount of energy dissipated to mine is already ridiculous;
-... (add more here)

So.....ATH and now...............bitcoin dead?

True. Let's be honest here, we've all seen this time and time again.

They've all got their flaws. What differentiates BTC is that the flaws have been deeply explored and are slowly being addressed by skilled people. All the while it's still operating perfectly at max capacity.

Its origins can never be replicated. Its operational track record is pretty stunning.

It would take absolute technical perfection, flawless integrity and the closing off of every imaginable exploit for something else to turn enough heads. And by the time everyone was on board there'd be unimagined gaping holes found by someone.

there's a theory that we won't be safe till we're using 51% of the world's energy supply to secure the chain, but let's not tell the lamestream yet
