I checked the charts on tradingview (daily timeframe) for 2022, 2023 and 2024 and in all those years, Bitcoin has ended the day in a green candle. Some years even have green candles for the remainder of the week.

But things are a lot different now and there's a new administration in the US + Bitcoin is at the highest price it has been in the years before (excluding late 2024).

I remember when people were trying to explain green candles during Valentine's Day back in day. Some rich guys buying bitcoin as a gift was a twitter rumor. I was newbie back then so i didn't really even think twice if they were joking or not. Retrospectively they probably were.

These days bitcoin has a different mainstream vibe to it, and i wouldn't see it as anything as miraculous or exciting. It would just be as trashy as giving money for valentine's day gift.

You're not wrong. But imo, this "mainstream" vibe you spoke of is a good thing rather than a net negative one. For years, a lot of people wanted Bitcoin ETFs. We also wanted Bitcoin to get adopted and today, the adoption rate is insane that even countries are creating natural reserves backed by Bitcoin.

We won't get the same thrill as watching Bitcoin grow from a small speculative asset from years ago that was still finding it's place on the global markets.

Maturity is overrated when it comes to excitement, but in terms of adoption, it's early what people wanted.
