Amoebanomaly, a Redditor, said:

“Looks promising! However, I doubt I am the only one who is reluctant to buy after the massive sudden drop from 6k”

To which, Robby16, said:

“Yeah tough one. You have technical analysis saying BTC might bottom at around 2000 – 2500 and you have fundamental analysis indicating that the ETF will most likely get denied because USA Government shutdown and bakkt most likely will be delayed for a while for the same reason. All the indicators are showing that the market is gonna keep dumping.”

He further said:

That being said, everyone thinks it’s going to dump so the opposite usually happens. 95% of traders miss the bottom. We could have hit the bottom already. Fuck this shit just rob the banks”

Cr0ft, another Redditor said:

“If they were near the peak, the transaction fees would be $50 again, and the wait time for transactions back to days. bitcoin $BTC still isn’t capable of handling any kind of real load. Lightning Network is a far-away pipe dream, assuming it can even be made to work. Spiking transaction count is scary in this case, not positive. We already know bitcoin $BTC can’t handle it.”
