I think it had it's time to cooldown from the extrme speculative volatility. It has lost it's coolness factor in the mainstream after NFT and AI took over.
Still as volative as ever.

You can't tell me a 11% drop in value can be considered a valid alternative.

Bitcoin is the youngest currency around

No it's not, it's the oldest (and as such, the worst in almost every way) crypto.

Edit: in case you are like one of the commenters here and struggle with reading comprehension, I did not just say that bitcoin is older than USD. Try reading it slower maybe? If the parentheses is throwing you off, try taking it out completely and reading the sentence without it.

I believe in you.
