This is incorrect. From Coinbase SEC filings, retail trade is 1/8 of what it was in 2021, last time the price was this high.
Even as the price has risen over the course of the past year, less and less people have wanted bitcoin every day. We have the numbers on this from the largest actual-dollar crypto exchange.
Miners have hoarded coins since 2021 because if they sold them the price would cash. They took out loans against their mark-to-market value instead. (Two such lenders were Silvergate Bank and Signature Bank.) When you see sudden multi-thousand dollar crashes in the bitcoin price, it's often a miner having to dump.
The ETFs have taken in $10b net in their entire existence, and a lot of that seems to be churn from other bitcoin-exposed securities.
It's not clear you're informed on the market you're expounding on at such length.
