IMO people do care way too much about the short term price.
I agree. For the short term, I see a tendency for lower highs. It was near 10k some months ago, then the high dropped to 9, 8, and now 7k. This is standard in bear markets, and the fact that we are still having it, means this will take longer than we think. So, its no use to care for the short term. Bitcoin was tamed by TPTB and the road ahead will be harder than we thought.
