Honestly, I think the bitcoin price in USD is all over the place because people still freak out and get hyped over every little thing. I've watched it for a while, and it feels like one news headline or some random billionaire’s tweet can make the price fly or crash in like five minutes. Even though bitcoin has been around since 2009, it's not like regular money. There are only 21 million bitcoins that will ever exist, which makes everyone want to get their hands on it whenever there's some hype.

Another thing I’ve noticed is that those giant bitcoin holders (they call them whales) can dump or buy up huge amounts, and that messes with the price a ton. And the government can just hint about some rule or law, and you’ll see crypto Twitter go nuts and the USD price swings like crazy. I actually bought my first bit of bitcoin last year when I thought I'd caught a big dip, then it shot up for a week and crashed right after. So yeah, it’s unpredictable because everyone’s still figuring out what this whole thing means for the future.
