Price predictions usually just create unnecessary hype and false hope because nobody can really call the exact number, whether short or long term. What matters more is the fact that Bitcoin is scarce, decentralized, and adoption keeps growing.
If you just keep stacking without stressing over daily or weekly movements, you’re already positioning yourself for the long run. The problem comes when people start treating Bitcoin like a gamble, waiting on predictions to guide their decisions, that’s when they end up with the wrong mindset. It’s really about patience and discipline, not guessing games.
The mistake people make now is waiting for the dip, I think this is the new thought among newbies because the dip gives more room for buying bitcoin in bulk meanwhile waiting is considered a waste of time. Price prediction or market movement should not be done by an investor frequent although some investors with good intention just check on bitcoin price as a motivation either to keep the journey going but, I still don’t find any interest consistently checking the market movement except such person wants to gamble with bitcoin. I understand the self discipline that comes with bitcoin investment and it takes discipline to hold for long without being tempted by the market movement, bitcoin holders hold bitcoin for the long run unlike trade that focuses more on price movement.
