Is it really decentralized finance now with all these Banks and centralized institutions?
I've been saying for years now that people can't wrap their minds around how high Bitcoin can go. Everyone is preaching caution right now which is interesting. The reality is that the demand is just getting started. Only a fraction of the asset managers have been buying. Then there will be retail. Things could get really serious. Those of us who were still buying the week after the crash are about to be rewarded.. for me .. Long & short-term trading is generally safer, allowing investors to weather market volatility managed to grow a nest egg of around 100k to a decent 932k in the space of a few months. Thanks again, Alina Nitsa, for the regular updates,
