Should l Buy BTC?

Dormancy Phenomenon: Bitfinex reports that 60% of Bitcoin supply is dormant, having not moved for over a year, indicating a significant reduction in market liquidity that could lead to major changes in future price discovery.
Institutional Dominance: Investors holding Bitcoin for 1 to 6 months now control 22.1% of the total supply, predominantly institutions that typically show lower selling tendencies during price fluctuations, suggesting their strategic accumulation is enhancing long-term market confidence.
Supply Shock Mechanics: With 60% of Bitcoin dormant and concentrated institutional buying, market liquidity is compressed, creating conditions for a potential supply shock that could trigger significant price volatility, especially if demand surges.
Stability Challenges: The reduced liquidity may lead to 'illiquidity gaps,' where prices must move significantly to fill large buy orders, increasing market volatility and the risk of rapid corrections.

About BTC

Bitcoin is a decentralized cryptocurrency originally described in a 2008 whitepaper by a person, or group of people, using the alias Satoshi Nakamoto. It was launched soon after, in January 2009.Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer online currency, meaning that all transactions happen directly between equal, independent network participants, without the need for any intermediary to permit or facilitate them. Bitcoin was created, according to Nakamoto’s own words, to allow “online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution.”Some concepts for a similar type of a decentralized electronic currency precede BTC, but Bitcoin holds the distinction of being the first-ever cryptocurrency to come into actual use.
