Bitcoin Has Lost Its Investment Allure

[Cleanslate_]

That's not true, everyone has the right to believe in what you want to believe, though Bitcoin is passing through difficulties and it is normal for any investment to be passing through this same phase,we all know how bitcoin works and with time it will regain it's allure this is not the first time.

Bitcoin has a great market potential to recover from it's correction, therefore should not be under estimate .

Theres no reason BTC must make a new ATH alongside other assets with exact timing, it has set a new high in recent months and that might be all you get.   We'll have to see but I dont especially recognize this sell as more then a drawdown or price losing weak hands.

People might not like it but anything below a yearly view is a bit too short term and BTC moves fast but has a slow background to its real long term gains.  This is the only asset Im often looking at the 200 week moving average, its not often that relevant elsewhere but here.

72k is the old trend from November onwards, we lost that negative and threatened higher only to pull back to range and now trading below that range with a threat lower.  We'll have to find strength, I dont presume that search is lost just yet.

A comparative chart of Bitcoin and gold clearly shows the moment their trends diverged in mid-October. That's when, according to analysts, crypto investors pulled out and placed $19 billion into gold in a single day. Since then, the trend of shifting capital from crypto into precious metals has been consistent.



This phenomenon has led to Bitcoin losing its allure as an investment innovation. According to Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Mike McGlone, the cryptocurrency is no longer seen as an alternative to the traditional financial system.

The sentiment among institutional investors has also shifted. It was their ETF investments that drove Bitcoin to new all-time highs in 2025.

According to UBS Chairman Sergio Ermotti, more and major investment funds and venture firms are focusing on the quantum threat to cryptocurrency blockchains. Bitcoin and Ethereum developers have yet to provide convincing proof of protocols or updates that would protect public keys from being hacked via quantum computing. This is prompting institutions to take profits and reduce their positions on every bounce.

However, institutional investors aren't speaking openly about their fears. You won't find these concerns in their public analysis. Venture investor Nic Carter explains this as a reluctance to cause panic when billions have been invested in the crypto industry.

So, we shouldn't expect a Bitcoin collapse just yet. Institutions skillfully pumped the BTC price early this year to paint a pretty picture of a breakout from the sideways channel on the chart. This allowed them to attract new buyers, whose capital they then used to exit part of their own position.



Now, they will work to keep Bitcoin's price above the lower boundary of the sideways channel. This will show the "hamsters" (retail traders) that the uptrend is still alive.

If the argument of bitcoin losing the investment allure is only for 1 to 2 years, I very much agree. However, if the argument that it has lost the allure because there is something much better, I very much disagree on this. The cryptospace market will certainly find the lowest floor price before it can pump again. We can be certain on this.

I call bullshit.  silver and gold tanked like motherfuckers today.


Silver was 120 and is now 99
gold was 5560 and is now 4999

money will rotate back to BTC as it becomes obvious silver and gold are for suckers

You might be correct on your speculation that the outflows on silver and gold will cause inflows on bitcoin and the cryptospace. However, I am only arguing on the possibility that if the silver and gold market bubbles will pop, this might cause much fear on all types of markets that will cause everything to dump hehehehe.

There is also the AI market bubble that is also speculated to pop this year.

Gold and silver have always been historically safe investments.

Historically safe investment is nothing burger, gold have had history of massive dump and long time recovery. It doesn't always go up so it's as risky as bitcoin.
If it's so safe that dump couldn't have happened. I acknowledge that gold is a good to fight against inflation, but it doesn't mean it's magical asset that is free from speculation and will climb everyday.

At the end of the day, there is no asset that is foolproof investment. Even gold with its long historical standing that's been here for thousands of years.

An asset or investment considered safe does not mean it is risk free. Because investing inherently involves risk, and there are no exceptions. However, with assets like gold, the risk is generally lower compared to other asset.

Gold carries risks, and that is a fact. But it is no coincidence that the whole world recognizes gold as the only safe haven. It is no coincidence that large sums of money are flowing into gold, rather than stocks or bitcoin.
