I concur that we are in the steady slow rise to ATH and over time the ROI multiplier will lessen with each cycle.
That's pretty much how things are now. There weren't a lot of institutional investors before, and with all the updates on regulations, the market behavior has really changed. If you look at it, there haven't been as many pump-and-dump situations over the past year compared to the earlier stages, maybe until 2022. The market’s slowly acting more like a normal investment assets, and that’s a good sign- it shows more people are getting involved.
Not sure if this website,
