The next story-line of main stream media can be anything but surely it will end on convincing some people to adopt bitcoin hence it means all such events (bitcoin etf, news from El Salvador, etc) are doing its exact purposes.
I agree, we do not have too much liquidity and volume compared to most traditional markets which is how it could be going up and down so much plus the regulations are lower as well and there is no centralization all of which combine makes it a lot more volatile, add in the fact that it is global and not based on just one nation combined with everyone being able to enter even with just few dollars all makes it crazy volatile.
So, crypto will always be like this, was always like this and is like this right now. Everyone who gets here "should" know this, obviously some don't and get scared whenever the price drops but it is not everyone, and we could always focus on something more stable if we do not like the volatility here.
