Yo, biz, I'm pretty new in crypto world but from what I understand bitcoin can't inflate as a currency. Can you explain why we see multiple price drops then? Why would it drop if theoretically its price should only grow?
And also I have few K to spare , should I buy btc for it now or should I wait for another magic price drop?
it's more than just a currency. it's an asset that people speculate on.
it can't inflate beyond a certain point, although it is inflating now at a diminishing fixed rate. However demand is exceeding supply, so the price goes up.

So it could theoretically go down once supply exceeds demand but it shouldn't happened next 3-12 months 4 sure but due to speculation there's always a possibility of unexpected drop that cant be predicted

there have been lots of times where some government or other imposed some regulation, or some exchange fucked up, and the price has nosedived. anything can happen, don't gamble what you can't afford to lose.

There will be max 21 million bitcoin. Imagine the price when it gets common for all investors to have a slice.

Its digital money. If nobody wants it, its worth fuck all. It doesn't matter how much of it there is.
Many of the drops are also about market trends. People will sell if they think the value is too high and then buy it again when the price drops.
BTC is shit though. it takes too long to send it and the fees are way too high. BTC wont last forever. There will be another coin that will replace it in the near future. This is why there is hype for coins like ETH.
