I'm just tired of reading bitcoin was 28 dollars this time last year so bitcoin is doing good. It is not doing good.
No one cares about the past, people care about the future.
Intelligent people take a global view into consideration when determining current environments.
The past is relevant. Obviously. You can't just disregard that in 1 year its popularity has increased its value 600%.
That isn't irrelevant information. Markets don't subsist entirely upon whats happening "right now".
The value of a stock is based on its overall performance.
The value of any investment is based on its overall performance.
Long term. Anyone in investments knows this.
So yes ... The fact that BTC was $13 last year and $650 right now is very important.
The problem is the two mentalities of investors.
Those (possibly yourself) who can't handle the emotional roller coaster and flip out over every fluctuation.
And those who keep their eye on the long term prize, and base their perception on the infrastructure progress instead.
As for me? I bail from Bitcoin when I start seeing the infrastructure falling apart.
As it stands right now, BTC could go to $2.00 tomorrow and I would still be all in.
Because what is coming "infrastructurally" is huge. And that can be proven.
