But bitcoin didn't always follow the market and it doesn't have to continue to do so in the future.
the thing is that bitcoin
has never followed any other markets ever. just because there are handful of coincidences that make the two charts look similar on occasions isn't enough proof of "following" the other market.
the fact is that from the start of the market a decade ago, bitcoin market has been a unique and a stand alone beast of a market that moves on its own.
It moves on its own, yeah I believe the same. It is simply following it's own trend. It has it's own marketers, investors, no controlling authority. I never connected the dots between other markets and bitcoin market for this reason.
I mean if we started to match the graphs between two different markets (randomly) then there is probability that some of them will directly collide with the bitcoin.
Isn't it is but obvious? What S&P500 makes the difference anyway? Also, we are forgetting that one is controlled market while another is completely based on unpredicted volatility. So yeah they may not be the same.
