Retail isn't going to enter the market in hordes this coming year, period. Lots of people are waiting on retail to enter the market for massive pumps & even expect it...quite a few key points contradict that happening:
1. It isn't 2020 where everyone is sitting at home with idle hands & GME is all the rage.
2. Bitcoin isn't sitting at 8k where it seemed "reasonably affordable" to invest in where even a couple grand gets you 1/4 of a BTC.
3. The economy is fuckd compared to what it was in 2020, lots of folks are broke or out of work.
4. The stigma of crypto has been through hell and still hasn't come back from the depths. That includes all the scams within crypto and nfts from ftx to the fall of bayc & logan paul's fkn dino eggs.
5. Big media no longer garners as much attention as it did in 2020. The attention economy doesn't hype crypto like it did either, and when it does it Hawk Tuah's all over whomever enters.
With all of the above being the case....I really don't see a huge retail migration into crypto this coming year like we did in 2020-21...even with btc treasury news. Maybe 2026 and the emergence of alts with actual use cases and gaming will garner in the normies.
Just my 2c.
