Some are saying the recent fall was due to the release of the Epstein files, which also led to various controversies online among bloggers, influencers, and other Bitcoin users claiming that Epstein is likely to be Satoshi. This discovery was allegedly cited as the reason for the market falls.
I can write anything on social media; it doesn't mean I am telling the truth. Anyone could express their own opinion; in the same way, I can express my opinion, but I cannot impose that opinion on others. I do believe too the recent dump would probably have happened due to Epstein. But I don't believe the person is the same person who created the Bitcoin. It's my belief; it might be wrong as well since we haven't imagined something like Epstein coming in front of us.
Others are there saying that it was as a result of the US-Iran war, because they believed that the Middle East already sound a warning to US on the possible cost of launching the aimed attack on Iran, while Qatar is not allowing for US to mount on its airspace for such and the rest of the story, they also believed that this is part of the cause to the market falls.
I don't think the current dump happened due to war. There was even attacks but we haven't faced any significant dump. Even still ongoing war Russia and Ukraine but doesn't affect Bitcoin to break ATH.
As bitcoin community members, some believed that we were already in the bear season because the market was due to fall and create another opportunity for new investors to take advantage of buying the dip and invest in securing their financial future with bitcoin, even though this bear had come earlier than expected.
No way to ignore that we are already in bear market. Unless Bitcoin attempt to break previous ATH at least I won't consider any bull market. Bitcoin often give opportunity, we all just need to read it and accumulate.
I want to remind us of the influence of social media a dbhiwnit could create more panic for the market I go more volatile than we already had, because alot are buying while there is more tension and fear of missing out as some were already selling in loss, while others are accumulating, this is such a period for us to hold and not be persuaded to act by the social media breaking news, Bitcoin has come to stay and can't be compared to ponzi schemes.
Keep on holding and buy the dip.
If any FUD come from biggest influencer like Elon musk or Trump then we will have to see more dump. Otherwise we will stay on bear market for a few days.
