Re: The higher BTC goes, the bigger the risk/reward ratio and the less buyers enter

If btc goes to 100k it will "only" have (more or less) doubled from its ATH.
From there it will need to rise another 100k in order to double again. I don't say this is not a good investment, but first of all crypto owners are spoiled, until up to now we were used to 10-fold, 20-fold + increases, so doubling the money has not been really special.
But this smaller reward ratio is paired with a much bigger risk ratio, since btc's swings in a correction period will also get bigger.
For hodlers who are in from the very beginning, it won't matter much probably, but where will btc find new buyers when it has reached 100k and needs to go up another 100k in order to double again in price?
And the fear of FOMO will also become smaller, as people will at one point accept, that the train has left the station.
Of course, should btc show convincing signs that it could reach 1 Million very quickly, then the whole picture changes.
I agree but we also have to accept the fact that even the price of Bitcoin reaches $100,000 buyers will still acquire some fractions depending on how much they are willing to invest no matter how much the price is because that is the spirit of being a Bitcoin hodler/investor and FOMO will still exist.
