Retail is known as the dumb money for a reason. Most retail "investors" if you can call them that,
prefer to dump their money into the shitcoin casino. And after they lose their shirts have nothing left for bitcoin.

Retail are mostly impatient degenerates who are addicted to gambling on hype and sentiment, not fundamentals.
That's partly the government's fault for allowing the shitcoin casino to exist, letting them market and prey on naive retail investors.
