I am very surprised about the way some people think like the market can follow their ignorant mindset about Bitcoin. Bitcoin has nothing to do with price at $500 looking at how far the price has gone. Bitcoin is already at $117k and if the price can go as low as $500 then that means the market will crash and many altcoins will not be in existence.
Even though the market is being manipulated to the core, it will be very hard for the price of Bitcoin to go down below $20k and not $500 based on the matter of discussion. If anything happens to the price of Bitcoin, the price of cryptocurrency will crash especially many of the altcoins we are seeing in the market.
This is just an assumption, OP said this from the beginning and as you can see, everyone believes and agrees that it will never happen. So you don’t need to get too serious and assume they’re ignorant just because they’re engaging in a hypothetical discussion.
If the future prospects of Bitcoin were bad, then companies would never have deposited such a huge amount of Bitcoin, they have done deep research and they believe in the potential of Bitcoin, that is why they are so confident in depositing Bitcoin, companies have no thought of selling any Bitcoin, their only thought is to deposit, and they are continuously buying Bitcoin, look at the countries, over time many countries are reserving Bitcoin, overall the acceptance of Bitcoin is only increasing constantly, so its future is very bright, because the supply of Bitcoin is limited, so if you think about the future prospects, the current position of Bitcoin is definitely very small, so deposit as much Bitcoin as possible, don't think about delaying, invest now and start holding from now.
Of course, institutions and companies wouldn't naively pour billions of dollars into bitcoin without any in-depth research, and their investment in bitcoin also makes it safer. But I disagree when you say that companies have no intention of selling any bitcoin because so far, no company has stated or committed to that. They are just like us, all for profit, there is no difference between us and them. Sooner or later, when they reach their goals and make enough profit, they will also sell their bitcoins. Don't be naive to think they will hold bitcoin forever.
