Yep there will always be new sellers, and this is likely exasperated during recessionary times or during periods of higher rates. I think the last little while retail has been more sidelined relative to previous cycles.

The only panic you should feel is it you have #Bitcoin on exchange.

On a day like today, remind people go get their #Bitcoin off exchanges.

Am I the only one who feels that the push for self custody #bitcoin faded a bit after the ETF launch? Obviously most on #Nostr understand the importance but you just don't see it on platforms like X.

Happy #Easter and God bless you all.
On this day we remember that Jesus sacrificed himself for our sins. On the third day he rose from the dead and subsequently appeared to many people for 40 days, which laid the foundation for Christianity. Through his death, he granted those who believe in him eternal life.

#Bitcoin fulfills those needs.

You can't control #Bitcoin, but you can control a narrative. Spot ETF approval seem to be just that, a way to manipulate the market price. Long term it doesn't matter, but just realize this this is why these approvals on such a simple matter are so overly complicated. Long term, all of this is just noise.

I thought I'd share this encounter to the #Nostr community.
Today, I was approached by someone pushing this scamturd in Barcelona. I must admit, when I looked up and saw his shirt with "worldcoin" written across, my knee jerk reaction was to instantly call the whole thing a scam (note that I had failed to notice the kiosk featuring the wretched orbs around the corner). Anyway, that wasn't the best way to start an interaction with a stranger. He wasn't exactly thrilled, but that didn't stop him from trying to convince me to scan my retina.
After informing him that I was versed on this scam and have been into #Bitcoin for quite some time, he responded by telling me that this was free money and was helping people in India (random I know). I basically went on to describe what che was ready to pitch me. He told me I was closed minded and showed me his phone and the app associated with this particular shitcoin.
When I questioned him on the perils of centralization and Sam Altman being at the helm, he only responded that my points on this topic were somehow conspiracy. He mentioned that the company treated him well that the pay was good. I questioned him on the need for biometric data and he exclaimed that it could be deleted after signup. I asked him about their distribution and privacy policy to which he had no insight. After roughly 15 minutes of heated discussion, he went off to tend to the next set of potential victims.
He also claimed to like #Bitcoin which I found interesting. I told him that what he was pushing was the total opposite of what Bitcoin was about. Although our encounter was quite heated, I hope I left an impression on him and managed to at least plant some seeds of doubt about his actions. Look, he didn't seem like a bad guy and may very well believe that what he's selling is good. Ignorance is not an excuse though, a scam is a fucking scam.

He immediately pointed out that at least one crazy arsonist has been apprehended by police in relation to these events. Western media won't cover the facts and are peddling fear.

I do see your point of view but it really depends on the amount of debt and your rate of interest. In a low interest rate environment where inflation is high, it can make sense to take out a loan. For example, car loans at 0% make more sense than paying the entire vehicle up front. As long as you have a safety net, you're golden. But when interest is 7%, the math is much different.
Mortgage loans are oftentimes over 5-10x an individuals gross annual salary. If you factor in higher rates it starts making much more sense to simply rent and invest the difference (ie buy more #Bitcoin).
Also, the future is not guaranteed and in a recession those wage increases or job you would depend on to service the initial debt may not be available. In my opinion, it's much more liberating to avoid these sorts of debt burdens.
