The fear of losing money (Bitcoin) is probably even higher than the cleverness. Many are worried about the cost of electricity and gas. The additional costs are rising and many can't afford it and are tapping into their cash reserves. Investments maybe more stopped or temporarily suspended to wait for the winter.
This is the exact opposite of what Bitcoin is supposed to do..
Has Bitcoin strayed too far from its purpose?
Example: In Turkey, inflation is +70% and the currency where accepted by the people there is dollars and euros, unfortunately not Bitcoin which should be.
