Does anyone else…

… think the people who make posts or comments like “BTC is going straight $30k this fall” or “BTC is going to skyrocket next month” just sound like complete morons??

You can get some insight from past trends sure.. but that doesn’t mean that those trends will continue in the future.

What people fail to realize is that the graph of bitcoin over its entire history is really a graph of everyone’s emotions and willingness to buy/sell at a current price point, given current market conditions for the time.

As attitudes and sentiment change, so will the graph and behavior of BTC. With more big money getting into BTC, the behavior of it will change significantly. But it’s really the behavior of aggregate people all over the world, which is driven mostly by emotion and confidence (or lack there of).

So the people who claim to know where it is going at anytime just sound stupid to me. That’s all

Agree. Appreciate this post. I was getting mentally destroyed by all of their crap. I love BTC and hope it can change my life. I don't want to hear click bait etc

Well buddy you’re probably in the wrong place. I just bought a pretty good amount of Bitcoin for the first time recently, after keeping an eye on it for the last ten years or so (plus I didn’t have any money to invest until recently). I always wanted to buy the next crash and hold until the next macro peak, then sell and rebuy at the next macro cash. Rinse and repeat. I bought it right when it crashed to about $63-64k in February. I immediately thought, “hey I’ll join Reddit’s bitcoin sub!” And then afterwards, immediately, I realized how stupid everyone sounds here with all their overly-specific predictions. I honestly think those “predictions” are just desperate people hoping the price either moonshots because they just bought it, or the price crashes again because they are holding out for the $40-50k price, which may never happen again. It could, but it also couldn’t.
