In this brief commentary, Kosta Ouzas observes that many retail investors are holding off on buying Bitcoin, waiting for the price to drop to $40,000. In contrast, he points out that institutional players, highlighted by Michael Saylor’s massive purchases—reportedly exceeding the total Bitcoin mined this year—are buying aggressively without waiting for lower prices. Ouzas expresses personal, gut‑level suspicion about what could happen given this divergence between retail caution and institutional confidence.
