Bitcoin is up 143% the past year; this isn’t only a week or two thing.

  sure, but that's not the long term perspective. This is the first time, in years, that it's been above the price point ~$30k where a bunch of people got swindled and are new hoping to get their money back, maybe with some profits. The big question is if there is real support to keep the price inflated. The correlation with stories on HN is with breaking the $30k ceiling. Anecdotally, I'm only looking to take coins out. I have zero intention of ever putting fiat into cryptos again. Playing the real long game, though I sometimes wonder when the whole thing will turn to dust. I personally have very low confidence there is actual or real demand behind the increase in price

    > I personally have very low confidence there is actual or real demand behind the increase in price There’s about to be a Bitcoin ETF… that alone will open the floodgates. I suppose you’ll be part of a long list of people who think Bitcoin is going away… it’s been 15 years and it should be clear it’s here to stay.
