‘What has Bitcoin ever done for mankind?’ – BTC’s lull irks investors

    Bitcoin’s price dynamics and historical patterns evoke hope and fear among investors.
    Despite criticisms, BTC’s resilience and support from key figures affirm its investment potential.

As a researcher with a background in cryptocurrencies, I’ve witnessed firsthand the intrigue and apprehension surrounding Bitcoin’s price movements. The recent shifts between $63K and $64K have instilled both hope and fear among investors. However, despite criticisms and market volatility, Bitcoin’s resilience and support from key figures like Anthony Pompliano continue to affirm its investment potential.


At a previous price point of $64,000, Bitcoin [BTC] was currently exchanging hands for $63,000. This continuous fluctuation in Bitcoin’s value has instilled anticipation and apprehension amongst investors alike.

In my latest interaction with “Squawk Box” on CNBC, Anthony Pompliano, who is well-known for his strong support of Bitcoin, made the following statement:

“Don’t get lulled to sleep by Bitcoin going sideways. The long-term thesis is as strong as ever.” 

Where does history lead you?

Pompliano pointed out a historical trend where Bitcoin’s value tends to climb in the months preceding the halving event, only to experience a more modest price rise or even a decrease following the halving.

Based on historical trends, it’s not surprising that the price has been decreasing prior to the halving event. Typically, Bitcoin experiences a significant price increase of around 19% per month leading up to the halving. However, following the halving, the price growth slows down and only sees minimal gains, usually around 1-2%.

In my role as a cryptocurrency market analyst, I’ve observed that longevity in the market plays a crucial part in achieving success. Rather than focusing on timing the market with buy or sell decisions, it is often more beneficial for investors to maintain their positions over extended periods.

Should you buy or sell BTC?  

All this brings us to a question – Is Bitcoin a good investment option? 

At the Ohio State commencement, Chris Pan made a point worth noting. In his speech, he advised the audience that investing in Bitcoin could be a means to safeguard their purchasing power.

“I see Bitcoin as the very misunderstood asset class.” 

As an analyst, I can tell you that my examination of AMBCrypto’s recent analysis aligned with The Block’s findings regarding Bitcoin’s transaction volume. The data indicated a notable upward trend, implying a surge in bullish sentiment among Bitcoin users.

However, Jim Cramer did not mince his words, snarking, 

“There is underperformance. What has Bitcoin ever done for mankind?”

Echoing similar sentiments, Twitter user Vivek4real added, 

“Time to sell Bitcoin for CBDCs.” 

Bitcoin’s stands strong amidst critical waves 

Despite such criticism, Pompliano was still adamant in his stance, as he claimed, 

“Despite Bitcoin’s daily fluctuations, its 200-day moving average reached a new record of $50,000 for the first time.”

Thus, predicting whether BTC will reach a new all-time high or hit a bottom is challenging.

As a crypto investor, I find it intriguing to witness Bitcoin’s tenacity and uptrend despite the volatile short-term market fluctuations.
