Many hasn't gotten that time to read the Bitcoin whitepaper before making such judgement about Bitcoin going down. In as much as some who doesn't see Bitcoin going far doesn't mean it will fall instead it will bring something that would rather change their negative mindset or convince them totally that Bitcoin is here to stay for good.
I believe the more haters we have the more longer it will excel with many more years to be counted.
They don't need to read all the Bitcoin White Paper or understand all technical things in Bitcoin protocol. It's for programmers who can understand code but as investors, people must read to learn basics of Bitcoin.
Learning basics will help them to see potential of Bitcoin blockchain for privacy, anonymity and decentralized network, censorship resistant.
They will understand about Bitcoin total supply and its scheduled future supply until 2140.
Those basic knowledge is enough for them to build up their belief in Bitcoin and start to become a diamond hand Bitcoin investor.
Controlled supplyHow is the 21M Bitcoin cap defined and enforced.
I believe we still have those who knows the basic knowledge about Bitcoin but they still find it hard to accept the reality of Bitcoin and that it's here to stay, is like a double mind with one telling them to stick to the believe one day and very soon it will fall and 25% of the other is telling them that it won't. Is really a hard choice for them or should I call them unbelievers to accept things about Bitcoin. To me is like they do know much about Bitcoin but they're just skeptic about the whole thing so they stick to the idea that it will die off soon.
I think as time passes and Bitcoin is still alive it becomes more normalised for more
people. I believe next year or 2025 after the halving and after the resulting Bull run
if the market price drops some people will be calling the death of Bitcoin.
Then again if these ETF's get approved the normalisation and acceptance will increase.
Back in 2017 when Bitcoin broke all believable barriers and roared up to the $20k
zone and the resulting correction is when "everyone" was calling the death of Bitcoin,
but in the following years as that $20k is a distant memory its clear to those that
death is not happening....and it will become clearer and clearer as time passes.
You should know that is normal for those who sees something going in a positive way to react negatively like these set of people only have to feel happy when they see Bitcoin losing its price or should I say going down like you said and they don't care to know how it got to the current amount but their wish for it to stop existing. I believe before the end of next year Bitcoin price will prove them wrong, they should be seeing Bitcoin as Fiat and it has come to stay, no going back.
