bitcoin is relatively safe, in the long term, don't look at the short term, plenty of manipulation going one, bitcoin need still plenty of time to grow
when everything about its problems will be settled, i beliave you will see the real usage of it, big merchants are waiting that after all, no reason for them to not accept bitcoin
I wouldn't say bitcoin is safe in the long term. Imagine someone bought bitcoins at 1000$ and after a few years they find out the price is at 300$, do you consider that safe? Of course not because it's not.
my definition of long term wasn't 2009-2013, but 20 years like satoshi proclaimed with his quote, so the last ath does not count anything at this point, wait for 2030 and if by then you still have to overcome the loss about the 1200 ath then you might be right
