Bitcoin monthly RSI is now the most oversold in its entire history. The two closest readings before this: $180 in 2015 and $15k in 2022.

Sellers were certain both times.... they funded the next x10 both times. https://t.co/ZczuH8yIWV

The data shows that whales hold more Bitcoin than ever before, while retail holds the smallest share on record - right before what will be the most significant period in Bitcoin’s history.

Just think about that.

Satoshi did everything possible to return monetary power to individuals. Yet people willingly handed that power back to the same institutions.

Because it happened voluntarily and in plain sight, future generations should see it as a fair outcome rather than an unfair one.
