When will Bitcoin rebound? Historical data reveals key prices and potential buying opportunities

February 24 News, Bitcoin has recently been on a continuous decline, sparking market attention on the recovery timing. According to Glassnode data, the 90-day realized profit and loss ratio has fallen below 1 for the first time since 2022, indicating that the market has entered an oversold phase. Historical experience shows that this state typically lasts about six months, suggesting that Bitcoin may remain at low levels until the end of the third quarter of this year. The realized profit and loss ratio reflects the proportion of profits and losses in on-chain transactions. When the ratio is below 1, losses dominate, and investors are mostly capitulating. Past bear market cycles—2015, 2018, and 2022—have all shown this pattern. During these lows, market panic is common, but it also presents potential buying opportunities.

Vitalik Buterin Analyzes Bitcoin Privacy Limitations: Why Decentralization Takes Priority Over Privacy

February 24 News, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin stated at an event in Chiang Mai, Thailand, that Bitcoin was designed with a priority on decentralization rather than privacy features, so it cannot effectively support both. He pointed out that Bitcoin, in order to maximize decentralization, has almost sacrificed privacy benefits, resulting in highly transparent transactions and account information on the blockchain. Buterin explained that early cryptographic technology relied on centralized institutions to protect privacy because achieving full decentralization and privacy simultaneously was nearly impossible at the time. He emphasized that Bitcoin's design trade-offs involve some sacrifices in privacy, but its decentralization advantage provides the foundation for its network security and resistance to censorship.
