π’ Bulls Say
Bitcoin is maturing into a geopolitical hedge and digital gold, decoupling from risk assets and acting as a non-sovereign store of value during global instability and inflation. Supply shock narrative (halving, institutional demand) further underpins price.
π΄ Bears Say
Bitcoin's resilience is temporary; it remains a high-beta risk asset susceptible to liquidity contractions, rate hikes, and broader market corrections. Macro tests could easily reassert its correlation with risk assets. Regulatory crackdowns remain a persistent threat.
