In the last two weeks, the bitcoin price took off. I felt that this was going too fast. After almost reaching the ATH from December 2017, bitcoin’s price plunged from 19,000 USD back to 16,500. Many people ask why that happened. There are many explanations. But in the end, it is always the same. If the price skyrockets in a short period of time, it will always fall back. Time to breathe again, educate yourself on Bitcoin, and buy the dip.
Why Bitcoin now? Differences to 2017

This phenomenon will be shocking. Look at that liquidity on exchanges during the previous runup and the whole bear market. It's vanishing. Hodl fomo is a far stronger force for scarcity than the halving. It will be shocking. https://t.co/PehUzjSozl pic.twitter.com/v6n0JsDXVq

#Bitcoin bull markets are characterized by a decreasing BTC supply held by hodlers, as long-term investors move old coins in order to take profits.

We started to see this trend last month, as the long-term holder supply has decreased by ~300k BTC.

A funding source for transactions? What does this mean? I pay with bitcoin and PayPal pays the merchant fiat? (not that I would use PayPal for any bitcoin transaction) https://t.co/nF6E9coEtc

this basically tells me that the bulk of the rally is attributable to buyers that only operate M-F 9 to 5 western business hours. makes u think!
