If you've been paying attention to the crypto market u know BTC reached its ATH price a few months back in 2021 of around $70,000 & now at the beginning of the 2022 yr. currently around $40,000. That's an almost 50% price drop!
That being said in my view BTC is still on a great path for long term holders. When compared to gold 20% of the worlds hedge funds are now in BTC instead of gold and many of those investments were made in 2021. BTC along with other Altcoins are being integrated into the real world by big business accepting them as payment. The Federal Gov. isn't taking as strick of stance regarding crypto as they did just a yr. ago. BTC is becoming integrated into our economy and stock market, in 2021 the 1st US futures BTC stock was released n shortly followed by a 2nd. The future potential of crypto advancing technology and growing the worlds economy are only becoming to be realized by others & the vast majority still either hasn't heard of crypto or doesn't understand it at all, which means there's still a lot of potential for investment opportunities.
Those are the many reasons BTC price at the moment shouldn't scare u too much because people are obviously interested in crypto & it has so much potential. It's only the beginning of this new digital revolution which is why the crypto market is still so volatile.
