Man, Ive gotta give you credit, everything you said was solid, and it shows you actually understand the space.
Ur point about just because people have heard of Bitcoin doesnt mean they understand it. There is a big gap between hearing a buzzword and actually doing your homework. A lot of people who can afford to invest simply haven not taken the time to understand why they should.
And youre spot on about the status quo rich like Saylor, BlackRock, and the rest. These guys are no longer sitting on the sidelines, theyre buying heavy and holding tight. That alone should tell the average person everything they need to know. The rules are changing, and if you dont move early, you will have to buy later at a much higher cost, if you even can.
I also like what you said about front running institutions. Even just being early by one cycle can give you a massive edge. It is one of those advantages thats only obvious in hindsight.
On the topic of investing, I know for sure that DCA over time beats trying to time the market, especially for people just getting started. Waiting for the perfect entry usually ends up being a mistake. Most people would be better off just getting started and staying consistent.
And about the cycle talk, we should know the 4 year cycle may not be perfect, but it still helps make sense of the bigger picture.
I do tend to respond to a variety of points, and surely I will frequently be repeating myself.. ..
Usually newbies will get themselves into trouble if they are responding to whole long posts and citing the whole thing... and you might well be better off to cite smaller portions of posts and responding to one or two points at a time so that we can get to know you rather than responding to the whole thing...
We each have our own style.. .. ..
Of course.. you should NOT exercise and adjusting your daily diet to lose weight instead BUY lab made juice first like Ozempic with unpleseant side effects so American fat fcks can maintain an unhealthy diet.

In France it is only prescribed by nutrition doctors and diabetes doctors. And is not covered by our health system yet for weight loss (it is for diabetes, but I'm not diabetic). So it's about 350/month. It might get covered by next year.
I spent 4 days in the hospital to do a battery of tests before getting it, and a diet and exercice is integral to the success, I was told.
Now since the other day, all French doctors can prescribe it, but they should still link it to exercice and changing bad habits.
With that said, these drugs really lower appetite so I can understand how it will work for many people without much effort. My sister has managed to lose a lot of weight on her own without drugs, however she still has massive cravings to the point of getting very cranky about food. She's not considering these drugs but I'm sure they would help her.
In my case it's not really working so far, because my appetite sense was already screwed up, I eat because I like to, not really because I'm hungry. I could go 16 hours without eating without feeling hungry.
But the dose is progressively increased so I have good hopes, and soon I will get 3 weeks in a rehabilitation hospital, to train to cook good meals, do all kinds of sport, etc.
Already what I feel is that if I make too big of a meal I'm a bit sick, like if I had done a very big meal before. For some people that happens after half a meal. It's similar to what people feel who have had their stomach altered surgically, which is what doctors wanted to do to me the last few years, but I always pushed back.
I understand the disdain about fat people, I don't like fat people either, but the easy availability of bad foods that are addictive is an issue to consider, for some people they can consume a bit of these and be fine, for others they get addicted.
I have never put a cigarette in my mouth, maybe I could and wouldn't get addicted, or maybe I would smoke one and get at 2 packs a day in a week, who knows ?Seems you have a metabolism problem? Like the doctors said you need a better diet and exercise.
Invest in healthy food, eat variated vegetables and fruit. Stop buying soda's like Coca-Cola, Fanta etc, drink only water. Avoid coockies and chips. Replace it with light food low on calories, more protein.
You brain will grave for sugar first 2 weeks after the peak your body will get used to your new diet. Don't stop, keep consistent, stay strong.
Burn more calorieën than you put in your body. You can even download an app which you track calorie intake which gives you use full insight.
Go exercise at the gym, walk, bike, hike ore swimming.
I have full impacable confidence in you Aesma that you also will see results!
I only use magnesium and creatine as supplements.
Stay in shape requires effort, no pain no gain.

Surely not easy to diagnose forum members on the thread... but yeah generally food, sleep and activities are the main controllables... and sure, there could be some genetic components that might make some matters stronger.. .. and of course, cravings are not necessarily genetic, since we likely can get into the habit of eating the kinds of foods that contribute towards additional cravings.
