Interesting convo. I lean toward the idea that Bitcoin acts as a leading indicator — not just for markets, but also for global sentiment. When liquidity dries up or uncertainty rises, BTC feels it first because it's still the freest, most responsive market out there. But long-term, this volatility just clears weak hands. Stackers with conviction see these dips as chances to accumulate value, not losses. The real signal is how many people are waking up to Bitcoin’s importance — not just its fiat price action.
