You're making me feel paranoid.

You are likely your own worse enemy in that respect.. so I would consider that it probably would be better to look internally than to expect that some udder peep is causing you internal issues.

Seems like "the market" still wants to suppress Bitcoin's price climb, eh?

None of this seems unusual to me...

Yeah sure we had some downward opportunistic inclinations, but what the hell do you expect after a 85% price increas in about 6 weeks or so and really nothing greater than a 12% price correction during that time, so the mere fact that we have a 19% price correction, so far and a bouncing around in around a 11% to 15% correction arena does not seem unusual at all, even if you might be trying to assign some kinds of conspiracy/manipulation events/actions to it, and even that some other twats might be making similar kinds of lame claims..

I am pretty convinced that derivatives hinder growth. I don't know how much, but since CME/CBOE things run different. Still, older factors have been removed, some are hovering (MtGox)...
What i know is that simple answers to questions about complex systems are mostly always wrong. So much for the conspiracy theories.

EDIT: And leverage. Did i mention leverage, yet? no?

I have some difficulties with claims that "bitcoin is getting held back".. yeah sure there are financialization dynamics, yet some of these variety of dynamics is a process including the extent to which folk are going to agree to have someone else hold their keys rather than holding their keys directly... and when people are shorting an asset (or fractionally reserving for that matter) in which possession can be achieved way better and easier than historical asset classes.. they do run risks of getting reckt pretty damned badly.. so yeah, sure there is some gaming of the systems, and surely some of us want some of those BIG players to get reckted into their senses in order to show the power of king daddy and the ability to hold it directly... even while some folks are playing games with it.

Had a hard day at work today..
Made half my years wages on bitcoin (XCP NFTs) in the last week.. HODLing in BTC..
Thinking "whats the point?"..
Dont really want to spend it..
One day..
I believe..

No matter the soon coming ATH I'll be hodling for years..
1 or 2 more halvenings..
Retire?

I can stay poor for a while longer..

Well hopefully you know how to calculate how much you need. Measuring from one days price performance may well be quite dangerous... and some of us (perhaps ONLY one) have methods to attempt to measure wealth, especially if held in bitcoin, in order that we (royal, perhaps?) do not end up pulling the fuck you lever too early.

Hint: think about potential bitcoin bottoms rather than tops or spot price, even though there tend to be a lot of ways to calculate being able to retain fuck you status (and perhaps even excel within it, once you have determined that you have reached it - of course, within parameters that you set for yourself).
