Wrapping up 2025 with mixed feelings – what a wild ride! Early year hype around pro-crypto policies and ETF inflows pushed BTC past $100K quickly, and I caught some nice gains on ETH spot holds during the summer rally. But October's tariff shock triggered that massive $19B liquidation cascade, turning my altcoin positions red overnight. Shifted focus to pure BTC accumulation below $100K, using Binance's recurring buy feature. Now at year-end ~$88K, my portfolio's recovered modestly. Biggest insight: Macro events trump on-chain narratives short-term. Stick to fundamentals, avoid high leverage in uncertain geopolitics. Here's to a stronger 2026! 💪
