reminder that bitcoin peaked in 2017.

Bitcoin was on every news station, multiple times a day across the world - literally "how to buy ripple on poloniex" segment on cnbc.

Coinbase (a US exchange) alone has 60 million customers. Take into account the fact that most of the buying pressure came from China, Korea and other asian countries you can estimate around 200 million people own crypto (inb4 some retard posts the unique address link and say "b-but muh only 0.1% of the people in the world own crypto" - newsflash retard; almost no normies withdraw their bitcoins from exchanges after they buy them)

Transaction fees reached $50 per tx and higher at the peak. - Bitcoin cannot scale. This is still a problem today and even this little run up has caused tx. fees to go up to $5.

Futures markets and derivatives are gaining more and more dominance in bitcoin trading volume. Why is this relevant? It means institutions can still get exposure to btc price moves and make $100's of millions without driving market cap up - see; silver market cap is only $59 billion despite being a major asset class. and the derivatives market for silver is 250 times that of it's market cap ($14.7 trillion).

Something like pic related is the future for bitcoin. Just cycles of mini bubbles that will never surpass ATH.

Enjoy it fags.

Another anon that believes that normies with there 5-20k crypto buys moved the price to 20,000$ /BTC..

When do you start to understand that small normie buy ins dont matter, whales will keep on there play and they use the normie buy orderds to actually cash out some of there founds, everything else is just a cycle as long as we dont hit real big market cap numbers and a active bank / investment broker traded liquidity

>Something like pic related is the future for bitcoin. Just cycles of mini bubbles that will never surpass ATH.

OP is so fucking based and redpilled (unironically).

Everyone is using bitcoin's history, which spans the grand scale of 10 whole years, to try to predict what the future for it will be, even though every bubble/crash cycle has taken place in a COMPLETELY different market, with completely different variables, players, and overall mentalities. It's not an inevitability that this is going to rise exponentially again just because it has done so a few times.

If crypto ever goes into a true bull cycle again to break and exceed ATH, it's not going to be on pure retail FOMO, it's going to be because crypto will have actually moved forward and DONE SOMETHING in the real world in some way. Given its track record (which is literally ALL fucking talk), good luck with that.

>muh halvening meme
Remember when sub-$6K BTC was considered totally impossible due to muh mining costs, and then it dropped another 50% from there and stayed below $6K for half a year?

This might come as a shock, but maybe the halvening WON'T cause the 10x that literally 100% of the people in this space are so sure that it will? When everyone in a market (especially /biz/) is "sure" of something, what usually happens? Once a large group of people has piled onto something and convinced themselves that they're going to get huge returns on it, what usually happens?

You all bitch and cry about bobos stepping on your moonboy dreams, but you need us around so badly.

I think most of us agree and don't care or mind if BTC does what you are describing.
I appreciate the info. But you realize most of us have bought in a variety of low prices so we sort of expect what you are describing.

there is 6 billion ounce of gold already mined and 80 million ounce mined each year (and increasing). compared to bitcoin of which most is already mined only like 10% of the supply left and the rate of production going to be decreasing over time.
