I was still hopeful at the first half of this year that btc will reach either $25k, $30k or even $50k but all of that has now changed. There is really no all time high and I need to accept that huge money does not get created and poured easily into the cryptocurrency market.
Yes, we are already on the 8th month and the price is still recovering. I am holding bitcoin but I am taking small profits and I am not waiting for it to moon. There are so many predictions about bitcoin may it be positive or negative and I would just take a look at their justification why they think that it would reach that price and then I would use my own strategy trading bitcoin. If it would moon sooner then good but if not then I would just continue to trade taking small profits because at least in that way, I am still earning.
