Indeed, the real strength of Bitcoin doesn't rest in the short term price movement but rather in the very fact that it has always managed to recover and push up even higher after every dip. This cycle is what is bringing in new users, and a stronger adoption, which makes the network more valuable and bigger over time. That is why I wasn't even surprised when El Salvador adopted Bitcoin as legal tender.
The very mistake that many beginners make is panicking during dips instead of realizing it will later bounce up and even reach an ATH. As investors, if we zoom out and look at the bigger picture, it’s so obvious that holding Bitcoin with patience usually pays off much better than reacting to every price swing.

Looking at Bitcoin adoption today, we might find it even more widespread, as some large companies are already happy to accept Bitcoin as a form of payment. Therefore, the potential for Bitcoin's price to rise in the future is still very much open, given its continued global adoption. Therefore, we shouldn't panic when we see the clear facts about Bitcoin's current strength.

Yeah bruh, the adoption today is nothing compared to what it used to be some years back TBH... i remember back then in 2017 Bitcoin was kidda still a baby then, compared to now though, the global adoption of Bitcoin was still very tiny, and less than 1-2% of the world’s population was involve with Bitcoin then.. At that point, only a few people understood what they were holding, I didn’t even took advantage of Bitcoin back then in 2017 I won’t lie.. At the beginning of 2017 Bitcoin was just around $15 to 17 billion, but by mid 2017 it was already climbing up into the $40 to 70 billion range which was crazily fast, and before the year ended in December when Bitcoin touched $20k, the market cap pushed close to $300 to 330 billion… That was a crazy run but still small compared to what we are seeing now.. So talking about Bitcoin adoption, there’s still a wide range for growth…

If we’re to talk about today in 2025, which is so obvious, things have scaled really massively… Even though it is still early, less than 6% of the global population is involved with Bitcoin… That number might look small first, but when you compare it to 2017, it is a huge jump. . The market cap too has told its own success story already, from just $15B–$17B at the start of 2017, we are now sitting on over $2.2 trillion in value.. This growth alone shows how deep adoption has gone and why companies and even institutions are no longer shy about embracing Bitcoin…

Now let’s pause and just imagine this… WHAT IF 20% OF THE WORLD ADOPTS BITCOIN?? Haha Cheesy

Right now we are talking less than 6% and the market cap is already $2.2 trillion… If adoption hits 20%, that is more than three times the present level. Theoretically, you could be looking at a Bitcoin market cap crossing $7–8 trillion easily, maybe even brushing against the size of gold market cap… That is not small at all bruh, it is a possibility if adoption keeps compounding the way it has from 2017 till now…

That is why I do not see any need for panic when short term price swings happen... Bitcoin has already proven it strength by growing from almost nothing into a multi trillion dollar asset in just over a decade. The trend is clear, adoption continues to rise and the whole thing is getting stronger.. The numbers do not lie.. if Bitcoin could jump from less than 1% adoption to nearly 6% in less than ten years, then the next wave could be even bigger than what we have seen so far….
