Just think how many people are "staying in cash" right now as bitcoin is plummeting into new lows. When btc starts hitting new highs these same people will be buying.
BINGO
and then you get that old chestnut "you only win because of manipulation"
no actually, we win because to us a popular coin trading at a low price means "cheap, bargain, wholesale rate". To amateurs, low prices mean "the world is ending (lol), stay away, crypto is dead, the end is near"
We buy at the right time, and sell at the right time. Amateurs buy at the wrong time, so they are always on the back foot
