Investing in crypto assets is risky. I'm only speculating with funds I'm prepared to lose because my potential losses are limited but my potential gains are not. I personally do not know whether there really is sizable interest in bitcoin in the OTC market, but some of the sources are credible. When U.S. investors stop selling to pay their taxes that will relieve at least some of the downward pressure. Nobody has a crystal ball, we'll have to see how this plays out. The strategy I'm pursuing works for me.
