My opinion is that it gives many people opportunity to buy more when the price is falling. The people that know what they are doing will take advantage of this period to buy more bitcoin. I have seen some people on some threads on the speculation board posting that they will buy more, this is the reason this period is very important.
But from what I noticed it usually shows that when price are dropping majority of people who are holding bitcoin finds it very annoying for the price to drop with them knowing that, it is a natural thing and must go down and goes up again to make the market remain balanced. Bitcoin is not stable coin where people would be thinking of the price to remain on their expected price. Thus, we know that bitcoin is extremely volatile therefore holding trusted coin is more better than trading.
I think you have a wrong analysis of the situation and that the reality is being confused based on what you are reading online. Only a small number of people are complaining about those things online and it is those that are impatient, over invested, or new to this market. That is all there is, for each person you find that is complaining you are not finding hundreds of others who are not complaining because they are just silent about this. Keep this in mind it is a known confirmation bias and people get sentiment analysis wrong because of things like that.
So we’re back to that moment again…where we see all those posts whether FUD inspired or criticism about bitcoin. Surely we should expect correction or dips in bitcoin investment, it’s all about your risk management and your Hodling ability.
The crash was very fast tho, especially today because it went down about 6% today alone from around $71,400-ish to around $67k. Many people might panic but there’s no need for much panicking, it’s bitcoin and it will sure bounce back.
I don’t know what caused this crash though but whatsoever it was, it would surely bounce back as we’ve seen severs times before..
A daily panic crash of 6% seems quite an example of Bitcoin maturing though, in previous times it would slide 20% or more before it would stop. This cycle has been quite weird for many reasons, Bitcoin used to be correlated at some times even with tech stock and things like that but this time it has been quite different. At this point we still can't be sure if the cycle theory holds or it does not, we have to wait for this year to see if it is going to be a thing of the past or it is still relevant. People forget things easily these days because of over consumption of content online, they can't even remember or check a chart from 4 years ago. According to the cycle, the bottom should be at the end of the year. So either it will be like that or the cycle thing will be put to rest and something new will happen. For now, this behavior is still aligned with the cycle theory.
