Bitcoin's Resilience and Market Volatility

Bitcoin has demonstrated resilience by surpassing the $70,000 mark despite its inherent volatility, with experienced investors feeling regret for selling too early. While the recent uptrend signifies market optimism, the cyclic nature of corrections is expected due to the asset's inherent volatility and historical downturns exceeding 80%.
