I understand your frustration. But posting in a group who is already sold on Bitcoin, doesn't help. We all knew that it won't be the primary currency. It's a currency of a small seg of people who want to stay out of the mainstream. It's a circular economy currency. Who joins that group is up to them. I agree that price is being manipulated a lot by the whales. Most people are here for fiat gains. But just like nostr which gives u sovereignty over ur social media presence without the risk of censorship, Bitcoin allows u to interact with it unbiased. It has its flaws depending on how u use it. But it'll slowly change. Started with square, now PayPal accepts bitcoin in businesses. Few more years for everyone to follow suit. Wait. Keep ur Bitcoin and go live life. You don't need to do anything. It's gold that's sitting in ur bank locker. Don't worry about how gold is being manipulated and unpegged from USD. Trust in the perceived value of gold and meditate.
