Who else is there to sell bitcoin to?

[Awaklara]

If you consider the population of this world and the number of people and institutions that are holding Bitcoin you wouldn't ask who else is there to sell Bitcoin to bacause multitudes of people and many institutions are yet to key in. Bitcoin is a store of value and sooner or later more buyers will enter the market to join in the hodl and profit race, besides as holders have reasons to sell more people have reasons to buy. I believe that after 3 or 4 circles Bitcoin might be anywhere around $1 million, it is not a guarantee but it is possible because Bitcoin from it's creation have created patterns to enable price increase to the point of continuously reaching ATH.

We probably really don't need to worry about that issue. The market always moves and there will always be opportunities created. That's what makes investors sell when they make a profit and then buy again when the price is reasonable. At least a simple investment pattern like that is what we can certainly see today. Although there are investors who will just keep buying until a certain time and will continue to hold. In due course, they will also sell and start their new investment cycle.

It is not all long term investors that do sell all there bitcoin after reaching there investment timeline and have accumulated a reasonable amount of bitcoin in there holdings. Rather they may prefer to take out profit based on way that suits them. The idea of selling out all our bitcoin with the mindset of buying back , to me is not a good idea because no one can predict the market and this will affect our bitcoin holdings.

Bitcoin is not just a currency, it is a financial movement that so many people and institutions are uncovering and keying into, many investors in the real world with real assets are still yet to uncover the full potentialities in bitcoin. I know that there is a large number of people who are already making moves towards investing in bitcoin but I know there are still very much more yet to invest in it because some are not so sure of the credibility or still unable to migrate from the golden age to the modern technology.

If you factor in many of these people, you will agree with me that there are still more to be invested in bitcoin that hasn’t been done yet. Bitcoin has come to stay and even the government of the world, if they are to come into a coalition can hardly destroy what has been built in the cryptocurrency ecosystem so far. If such is the case, many have agree that if you can’t beat them you join them because bitcoin is revolutionary and that’s why you have the likes of Trump for whatsoever reasons behind that, investing in his altcoin project, Trump.

I was watching an analysis from a neutral finance person, who said that the crypto community created its own bull market recently. Due to regulations allowing BTC ETFs and institutional adoption, everyone who wanted to buy Bitcoin has bought. Everyone who wanted to sell has sold. So who else is there to sell Bitcoin to, to drive up the price?

Institional investors have it. So do soverign wealth funds. So do treasuries. Not really sure who else will buy BTC after this.

The spectacle is interesting and capable of sparking the imagination of the people watching. If the person watching is someone who doesn't really understand their knowledge, it will be dragged in a confusing direction. I don't want to say that it's you.

Logically, long before the approval of a Bitcoin ETF, market activity for Bitcoin continued to work as usual where buying and selling activities continued to occur without us knowing what their specific purpose was. Buy and sell to trade, buy to hold and it all continues to work forever.
The rapid influx in institutions only makes people realize that what they have been doing is not a mistake.

[ZAINmalik75]

Are you looking for a reason why the price is declining? You're looking at someone else who is selling that, causing the price drop?

No, he was not asking why the price has dropped, but I think he was asking who is going to buy Bitcoin now if everyone has bought. Like the way he explained, which was a bit confusing though. He just meant if everyone is buying then who is going to start buying Bitcoin next.

I hope it clears the doubt. First it was retail investors, later institutions, then companies, now ETFs, and governments have also joined. So who is going to be the next one? I think the next one is going to be aliens haha. Maybe they will love Bitcoin too.
On a serious note, I think after governments it is pretty hard to imagine who is going to be next.

Humans greed has no limit, they always want more. And the limited supply of Bitcoin is a reason for an lower supply. If we look ahead just three halvings, there will only be 0.40 Bitcoin per block, a very small daily supply. If demand continues, there is only one way, the higher price of Bitcoin. I dont think most people would stop buying Bitcoin. When FOMO start, than there are more demand. During the last ATH, I had the feeling that FOMO wasnt really high.

Hmm, interesting take but bro everything has a logical answer. The same argument has been made at every single previous cycle top. For example, in 2017 people said the retail has already bought, who is left? Then you know who came? Institutions came in 2021. After that people said who is left? Then ETFs came.

"Who is left to buy?" argument keeps getting answered by a completely new category of buyers that was not even in the conversation before haha.

Usually we were wrong every single time about the ceiling.

The buyers and sellers who are actively reflecting on the trade history of many cex exchange are fake to OP? Who are those that constantly click on the buy button on spot trading section, aren't they the next buyers? Maybe OP is new to this and never know how this thing works, I asked the same question when I came into the space newly though, that after I buy Bitcoin, who will buy from me if I want to sell.

The fear and scarcity mindset grips me into thinking that I will loss my coins cos nobody else to sell my coins to.

[Stalker22]

There will always be someone to buy.  As there will always be someone to sell.

The market doesnt need "new" people.  Actually , it needs more of the same people to realize their current allocation is too low.  "Everyone who wanted to buy has bought" is what people said at $10k, $30k, and $60k.  They were wrong then, and they are wrong now.

It is natural that humans are never satisfied with what they have; they are always out to get more, hence you see so much investment by a single individual to render services and make a good profit from it, even then, they still want more. So, as humans want more added to what we already have.

That is true. I think it is about greed, it drives us. It changes with experience and personal view on life. You can also do positive things with greed if you keep it under control. But I also believe that most people dont use it so, they just want MORE and then make mistakes. That is why I think the demand for Bitcoin will rise when FOMO sets in. It is human nature, when it comes globally in the media, not with daily news about the war. So in best case without war and with a maximum sense of security.

Where are you driving your inspiration from? Bitcoin being bought or sold by individuals and companies doesn't mean the interest in it has weaned. It shows that bitcoin is fulfilling its purpose as money by being traded, liquidated and other use cases.

According to Coindesk, Just this week, MSTR  bought about 7,000 BTC and there are still reports of inflows in bitcoin ETFs, so the interest in bitcoin is still active and lots of people are still buying.

You can still observe it in the price movement from $65k to around $72k this week and currently sitting at a bit below $71k as at now.

[Z-tight]

There will always be someone to buy.  As there will always be someone to sell.

Yeah, op couldn't be more wrong. BTC price is not stable, it is volatile and there's always demand. At every price range, there would always be people who want to buy more and those who want to sell some of their coins. It is true that when the price goes very high, i.e., when we touch a new all time high, more people may be reluctant to buy at that high price and they would rather prefer to monitor the market. But that does not still mean that people are not buying, surely they are, just that the idea is to buy low and sell high.

If we look closely, we can see that various countries are still implementing their plans to keep Bitcoin in their strategic reserves. We can also see that El Salvador is constantly trying to buy one Bitcoin per day, and we can see that some companies, including Michael Saylor's MSTR, Metaplanet, are accumulating Bitcoin. So we don't see that Bitcoin buying has stopped. It's not right to talk about one or two people closing their Bitcoins and not buying Bitcoin. I would say that a lot of people are buying Bitcoin and now a lot of companies are buying Bitcoin, no one is stopping Bitcoin.

As long as the market is open there will always be those who would want to buy and those who would want to sell. The market is actually always open because as long as you think your accumulation has stopped then you can actually see those who are starting their accumulation phase. Yes there are times where the supply is actually high and demand is low and this where the bearish sentiment comes in and also there are is a huge demand period with less supply available which is the bullish period, but never can there be a period where there is no demand or supply totally. Because this isn’t any of those shitcoins

That’s where you now know that manipulation can come in, the institutional investors can now start selling to themselves to create the effect that they will need for the ordinary man to fall victim of and that’s exactly what happens in the Wall Street everyday, which is the buy and sell that you know and however, those who are trying to be smart like retail traders, that’s how the market really works.

Indeed. More institutional investors means more chance of manipulations. Sure, they can sell to themselves, then they spread bad news. It will make average investors to panic and may sell their Bitcoin for losses. This actually has happened in the past, but it seems to be more massive after we have more institutional investors.

Yep, people who have strong mentality and try to think in a smart way, they won't be very influenced by the manipulation. However, the market still can respond the manipulation because there are many people who have no proper intelligence. We can't expect that all people can be calm dealing with the red market and massive bad news.

Anything useful, and valuable is bound to be in high demand, and there will always be people buying it, especially Bitcoin, which has so many uses, not just as a means of transaction, but also as a store of value.

More specifically, Bitcoin has a utility function, a value function, and maybe even Bitcoin has own appeal as an aesthetic function. We cannot deny that Bitcoin has a value function that is widely utilized by people for various purposes. Bitcoin utility function makes it increasingly used by anyone for any purpose for transactions. Bitcoin aesthetic function may be considered by some, to be a highly appreciated creation. So, there are so many reasons people continue to buy Bitcoin, and not everyone will sell valuable items, meaning there will always be those who buy it, even those who hold Bitcoin for the long term.

Even though large companies are now in holding large amount of Bitcoin as shield against rising prices as example of digital gold, network is also becoming useful thanks to Lightning Network and so quick and cheap deals are coming to every day use.
Fame of Ordinals and digital art has also made you correct on visual part of Bitcoin since there has been special need among ranking of sats that push people to hold long term instead of acting as just buying tool.

I believe this is reason we have been seeing firm holders who are more worried with beauty of 21-million limit than day-to-day price that is shown by current HODL charts that show that almost 60 percent of total Bitcoin has not moved within the last year. But in end, as stock is already 95.2% mined, you are correct that stock is reaching smaller need than any other time and long term freedom has never been more important.

Just like a high-return pension fund, the main buyers are future generations. There are 380000 new baby born every day, they will be the potential buyer when they reach working age. This means, each passing day you have 380000 new potential buyer, and they will buy monthly until they retire. But I guess only 1% or even less of them today have started buying
