Of course. Bitcoin has always been volatile, but I was surprised to see that there were no positive price movements even though Fiat currencies are experiencing high inflation rates right now
we were led to believe bitcoin was the best "safe haven" in times of economical uncertainty (like the current US recession) and war that eventually hit the world economy (russia-ukraine) because the market was yet to experience something of that magnitude, in a way we were gullible (?) and it was easy for some people to convince others that btc was going to go to the moon during a financial crisis, so the grand majority of the market set high expectations around btc if such turbulent events were to occur. Now we're going through those terrible events and it's ugly and obviously we weren't prepared to the punch in the face (financial crisis and a btc crash). Maybe those things about "btc safe haven" were true
before the big investment firms, bankers and wall street entered the crypto market, but that ship sailed a long time ago and the btc price now mirrors traditional markets which are currently on a downtrend and you can be sure (sadly) that btc will follow that trend
Bitcoin is inherently tied to conventional economy.
maybe after the 2017 bull run, but prior to that literally nobody believed btc was tied to global or tradional markets.
