'Stealth phase' over? Why Wall Street FOMO will make $20K Bitcoin look cheap

Considering the impressive year Bitcoin is having, it's not surprising that Wall Street is now starting to realize that the world's first decentralized cryptocurrency isn't going anywhere.

Remember 2017? That historic Bitcoin price rally was largely driven by retail traders - the average Joe - who were anticipating a Wall Street stampede alongside the frenzy of new tokens minted via initial coin offerings.

Obituaries from the news media made the average Joe eat the loss and many wrote Bitcoin off as just another bubble that burst.

The public searches for Bitcoin no longer reflect BTC as its price has "Decoupled."

"Institutions aren't in Bitcoin right now. It's been a retail phenomenon for the last decade. So Wall Street talks about it, they're aware of Bitcoin, but they're not really in it from our perspective, but it's starting to happen."Wealthy zip-codes in New York and Silicon Valley drive BTC price.

Druckenmiller, the latest big-name Bitcoin convert, now argues that "If the gold bet works, the Bitcoin bet will probably work better."

Cryptocurrency trader Michael van de Poppe believes that the Bitcoin market is now exiting the Stealth Phase and entering the Awareness Phase.

"With Stan Druckenmiller, Michael Saylor, and more listed companies jumping into the Bitcoin markets, it's quite clear that we're at the early stage of a new bull cycle."Bitcoin is a small club, and you can be in it.

What makes Bitcoin truly unique is that it doesn't play by Wall Street's rules.

This is precisely why Bitcoin still presents a unique opportunity for the average Joe: to acquire BTC now at lower prices than what Wall Street will pay for it later.
