Geopolitical tensions are escalating, and regional conflicts continue to ferment. Historically, whenever major unexpected events or political upheavals occur globally, Bitcoin tends to come under pressure and decline—this has almost become the market's "destiny." War, high-level meetings, policy shocks—most of the time, Bitcoin follows the trend downward, as if illustrating the inevitability of "black swan events."
But this time, could things be different? The current crypto market environment is no longer what it was before. Institutional investors are entering the market, sovereign funds are allocating, and ETF products are maturing—these variables are rewriting Bitcoin's risk pricing logic. Perhaps this shock could instead become an opportunity for value re-evaluation, breaking the past downward curse. Or, in other words, the market is testing this hypothesis. It is worth observing how this round of market movements will unfold.

Haha, coming again with the argument "this time is different," but every time it turns out the same?
---
Can institutional entry block black swan events? I don't think so; everyone runs when the market crashes.
---
Basically, it's still gambling—just betting that this time will be different.
---
Will ETFs' maturity save the coin price? 🤔 That's funny.
---
Instead of guessing, it's better to wait for the data; anyway, I will keep holding.
---
Under the guise of risk re-evaluation, it's still the same old logic, nothing new.
---
Will it really be different this time? Then I'll buy some more; anyway, I won't lose much if it drops.
---
When institutions come in, it’s actually easier to crash the market; don't be too naive.
---
Interesting, it feels like this article is psychologically preparing for a decline.
---
Worth observing? I've been watching all along; still the same old routine.

Is this really different this time? It still seems like it depends on whether institutions are willing to step in.

Is this really different this time, or will I have to cut losses again? By the way, do institutions really support the market?

Is this the same old story? People say that institutional entry can break the curse, but I don't believe it.
You said the same thing last time, and what happened? Still got smashed, and my short positions are laughing their heads off haha.
Let's wait and see, anyway I'm just holding a short.
Is this time different? Really? Feels like every time it's different, but the results are the same.
I bet fifty cents that this week will still see a bottoming out, I have a bad feeling about it.
But what if it really rebounds? Just thinking about it is terrifying.
Institutional positions are nothing; when it really comes down to critical moments, they’re the first to run.
When a local conflict explodes, who cares about ETFs or other products?
Historical patterns—breaking them often hurts the most.

Is this really different this time? I'm skeptical... Can institutional entry really withstand a black swan?
Bitcoin, this old relic, still has to kneel when big events happen.
Breaking the curse, haha, just listen.
Institutions have money but are also afraid. Who dares to really take on this market?
Historical patterns are right there. Saying they can be rewritten is too optimistic.
Let's wait and see. It's too early to say anything now.
More people can actually lead to a market crash. Don't be too naive.
