Current Market cap is 120b $ (actually real market cap much lower than that due to lost btc and so on); that could be 1000 people with 120m$ hidden. Anyone who has approximately that amount of btc would be very able to buy the market would it temporarily drop significantly below 5000$ per btc, due to the very limited (and shrinking) actual supply of bitcoin and availability in the exchanges.
I think what we witnessed in last december will happen again and at a greater extent. Don't ask me when, but that's a given.
Bitcoin has been chosen.
Why? Possibly positioning.
Price won't give a fuck on whether it can be used everyday to buy stuff. Its purpose it for wealthy billionaires to keep part of their wealth inaccessible through offline wallets.
Whether tx take 1 hours to go and cost 10 bucks each.
Whether the nodes get a little bit more or a little bit less centralized.
All that matters is the one reason I stated above.
Everything else is just smoke for sardines.
I also believe that Bitcoin will not stay below $5000 because the demand is more powerful than the manipulators and the dumpers.It is not like fiat currency where inflation kicks in. Bitcoin is inflation proof and it will climb no matter how hard they dump it.
