If the $20k pump manipulation theory is really true by using tether then I believe that we are in the real price of btc right now. We are not really going down but just doing a normal movement in prices so we are still heading up to $20k without any huge manipulation so there is no need to exit out.
its true, for me I have no regrets in holding my coins even the price is getting lower, because I know in the long run it will bounce back to peak. what ever happen in the end its my choice and decision.
