Bitcoin Dip = Buying Window? Here's What the Data Says

BTC down 20% in two months and people are getting cold feet. But here’s the thing — historically, Bitcoin has always bounced back and hit new ATHs eventually. Over the past 2 years, it’s up 130%+ while the S&P 500 only did 50%. Not bad for “digital gold.”

Why the bullish case? Institutional money is flooding in (Bitcoin ETFs alone hold $120B+), which basically means big players see it as legit now, not just retail casino chips.

But real talk — Bitcoin still has to prove itself as a long-term store of value. The volatility we’re seeing lately raises legit questions about whether it’s actually “safe.” Price action is still heavily based on speculation rather than fundamentals.

Bottom line: If you’ve got $1K sitting around, Bitcoin could fit into a diversified portfolio as a hedge play. But don’t FOMO in just because prices dropped. Be clear on your thesis — why you think it’ll outperform over the next decade, not just the next month.

The real question isn’t “is Bitcoin good?” It’s “is Bitcoin right for YOUR portfolio?” Different answer for everyone.
