Satoshi Nakamoto’s Vision: Bitcoin Should Thrive in Troubling Times

Ki Young Ju, the CEO and founder of CryptoQuant, has recently weighed in on the ongoing debate regarding Bitcoin's position in the financial landscape.

Ju used insights he attributes to Bitcoin’s creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, to settle the discussion.

In a recent tweet, Ju highlighted the divide among Bitcoin investors: one faction views Bitcoin as a tech stock, while the other sees it as digital gold. According to Ju, the former group tends to panic sell and shift to physical gold during market downturns. Ju criticized this approach and emphasized Nakamoto’s vision that Bitcoin should thrive in challenging times.

Meanwhile, cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez has shared a forecast based on a chart showing Bitcoin’s current pattern. Martinez noted that Bitcoin is forming a Rising Wedge pattern, which historically precedes a decline.

Earlier, Martinez pointed out that, despite a record high in institutional Bitcoin investments, market sentiment remains in a state of “extreme fear.” Bitcoin experienced a sharp 18% drop earlier in the week, falling from approximately $60,000 to below $50,000 on Monday.

In the short term, #Bitcoin forms a rising wedge, a pattern often linked to downtrends. Though $BTC might climb to $56,000-$57,000 at the wedge’s upper boundary, watch for a potential breakdown that could pull #BTC back to around $51,000! pic.twitter.com/qwBvwwHNnO

Since then, it has partially recovered, regaining about 11% of its value, with the current price around $55,253. Overall, Bitcoin saw nearly a 24% decline between Friday and Monday, dropping from the $65,300 range.
