What do you think will happen to crypto if institutional investors all decide to stay away from crypto investment this time around? Do you think crypto can surge of it's own especially Bitcoin without the help of institutional investors money, do not yab me for this question, I am not sure what will happen I only need people's different opinions.

Bitcoin or cryptocurrency value is determined by human need, in case all institutions, and retail investors stay away from it, which means we don't need it anymore, then it will surely die, let alone not increase in price. But this is unlikely because everyone is aware that bitcoin is a precious asset, and its value will continue to increase sharply in the future. So if someone sells all of their bitcoins, there will always be someone willing to buy them all back.

This has never happened in the history of modern day capitalism and I doubt they'll start now.

If all institutional investors do stay away from cryptocurrency though, it'll still end up doing as it would before. Most of the prices are set by the market (retail) and institutions buy around that price in private dealings - if there's less institutions to buy, there might be more demand from the sell side on the markets which could temporarily stunt growth but then the same lack of selling will happen as people expect the prices to go higher anyway/later.

If large investors sell their assets at the same time, then the market will undoubtedly react, but after a while it will grow again as demand will continue and prices will be very attractive for many users.In fact, this is a very good question and it is difficult to imagine what would happen in this situation.I think large exchanges would become the strongest players in the market and could completely manipulate the price.

Yes, if that happens, it will definitely make a movement in the market, especially if they have a large number of bitcoins. But the situation will be the same as a bear market in my opinion, and it will only take time for bitcoin to climb again.
If we look, from time to time more and more people are interested in bitcoin, so if bitcoin loses the big investors from the institutions that the OP said, then I really believe that bitcoin will find other big investors again.

The only reason this woluld happen, would be regulations that make it either unprofitable or illegal. However, due to the many different zones of legislations in the world this will not happen mutually all around the globe.
If there is a monetary incentive to do so, institutional investors, including governments, will continue to invest in crypto and especially Bitcoin. That's just a given in open markets.

Institutional investors are responsible for bringing big money to crypto market, boosting the bull runs' results to the moon. Without them, crypto doesn't have the same potential of prices' increasement on short run, although on long run, with or without institutional investors bitcoin and its altcoins pairs are going to do well anyway, as organic adoption keeps increasing day by day slowly, but surely.

It sure does grow over time since Bitcoin has a halving cycle every 4 years but if what OP meant to say this time around then it won't make a huge moving price since they aren't investing and the only explanation will be this price movement we have seen for a year will be the movement of the market not that stagnant but constant.

But if OP meant to say was if institutional investors would get out of the market this time around then expect that there's a huge drop of the price but just like what I said, over time the price will slowly recover from the bottom.

[bitcampaign]

bitcoin will continue to run without investors because they certainly still have a community that believes that bitcoin has a high value compared to other investments, after all it's hard to happen in fact many new investors for crypto all the time

That is what they did last year lefting the market, so we saw a deep crash in BTC price to 16,000$. Those institutional investors are also heavy speculators, so they must have thought the impact of their departure from crypto market would be even deeper, but thankfully it wasn't and long term investors were able to hold the price considerably. Good news is that each new cycle the influence of institutional investors is decreasing more yet.

At some point their influence must be tied with the dominance of every other average investors united focused on long term goals, what could balance volatility to more stable levels.

First the only reason I understood the word YAB is because i may be for the same country as you or neighboring countries. But I would first advise you to use pure English when in other board that’s not local board.

Well firstly your intuition or imagination won’t work. There won’t be a time that would happen and bitcoin has uses that’s not all about investment but if I am to be honest the amount of investors of all kind are more than the amount of crypto-currency enthusiast so yes it would be catastrophic if that happens in Crypto-currency.

Well you need to go back in charts where there wasn't institutional investors. That's what would happen, although back then many individuals were buying because everyone knew institutional investors were coming in any time. I feel like many of them enjoyed dumping at institutions later on.
 
There are of course ton of more individuals now but i can't see prices being anywhere near here without real players. And then there's the reason WHY would they leave. Because that reason would most likely be more catastrophic then result of them leaving.

yes, it can survive as long as there are people who are interested in this market. doubt the market if no one is interested anymore like no one is talking in social media or any other platform. but til then, expect that btc market will survive. investors won't go in this market if they are not seeing its potential in the future. but as long as they believe there's something in it for them, they will continue to support this market.

There is indeed a decline in the number of traditional investors, including institutional investors. In fact, this was not noticed in the first place because there is a demand for bitcoin from everyone, not only from the investing institutions, and if someone gave up his investment in bitcoin, he will certainly sell it to someone who needs it.

There are great concerns about the continuation of the crisis caused by the collapse of both the Luna network and the Ftx platform. Some of these concerns were expressed by one of the analysts of the MtGox platform, assuming that the price of Bitcoin will drop to $13,000 by the summer.

The mere fact that such statements are issued is capable of influencing the course of investment institutions, especially since MtGox is also an investment institution.

If the institutional investors decides to opt out of the cryptocurrency market, it’ll definitely affect the price of the cryptocurrencies as they play a big role in price change in the market. Sooner or later, the price will rise back but not at the expense of the so called investors again but the big players who would be the big exchanges. The government can only have an effect in the price change if the use of cryptocurrency is been regularized by them, but without that, exchanges become the main focus to affect the price change of the cryptocurrencies prices henceforth. This has never happen in a world full of transitional process and new inventions, bitcoin potential amongst other cryptocurrencies is very clear, I don’t see the institutional investors leaving it for anything now again.

No it can't go anywhere if institutional investors will back off and the one who remains are the small fish. Bitcoin move base on demand so if there's less demand for it so maybe we cannot move faster as we can see it happening these days.

But this scenario like institutional investor leaving will not happen because you know people where they can benefit they are in and bitcoin gain more and more huge popularity so for sure they will stick with it then it can also gather more other investor since hype is on bitcoin side especially it gather more attention coming from the media.

There is no way I can trust the news that institutional investors won't be interested. I will believe that it is a distraction and a deception. It has taken a lot of time for them to build up to the next bull market, and they have so much time to do so. The market's response to Elon Musk's tweets in the last bull run sparked his interest in Twitter, and he made a big profit in a short time. In addition to gaming and web3, Facebook has many other establishments that they are interested in. There is so much to be said about Jack Dorsey as well.

A large portion of its value will be lost obviously, but if the miners still continue mining and a lot of people still believe in it, then it will survive. Institutional investors came in late to the party, and even back in 2013 we managed to get to a thousand simply because people who believe in the project with some money on their pockets decided to speculate and bet on bitcoin.

Institutional investors aren't the grim reapers of crypto. If they leave, we still have the community and the miners to continue its price action.

It would be very possible for cryptocurrencies to develop slowly and even stagnate without significant price growth if institutional investors stay away from the crypto space and stop investing in crypto. A very simple example for this is when there are many people who used to use a product for certain needs in their lives, then the price of the product will obviously experience an increase in price and better development.

But when a product starts to be abandoned by many of its users at a certain time, the development of the product and its price will not experience any more significant changes and even the product will no longer be produced because the demand for it has begun to decrease. Likewise with crypto when users such as investors start to distance themselves from crypto investments, there will not be many cryptos that get better development. So in my opinion, I hope you are enlightened.

It won't happen, institutional investor wants to make money always. If the existing ones decide to move to some other markets there will be definitely new ones which will decide to trade this market. So this will be a never ending circle. Big or smart money will always be there in every market and will be a major reason for market cycles. And even if it decides to part ways I think the next big guns will realise the vaccum and decide to make cartels of their own to manipulate market. So this smart money will always stay.
