Why This Market Cycle Feels Different
For those of us who have been around since 2017, we’ve seen it all—the absolute euphoria of the "moon" days and the gut-wrenching 70% drops. But the atmosphere right now is unique. It’s not the loud, frantic energy of past bull runs; it feels more like a quiet, heavy tension.
With Spot ETFs and institutions finally at the table, the "wild west" era is maturing. This is a good thing for long-term stability, but it can be mentally draining for the individual trader trying to find their footing.
Finding Your "Zen"
If the charts are starting to feel overwhelming, remember:
• The market has changed: We are moving away from retail-only hype into a macro-driven era. The price action might feel slower or more calculated, and that’s okay.
• Step away from the screen: Your best trades rarely happen when you’re burnt out. Taking a walk or putting the phone down isn't "missing out"—it's protecting your capital (and your sanity).
• Conviction matters: True peace of mind comes from knowing why you hold an asset. When you believe in the long-term tech, the daily red and green candles lose their power over you.
At the end of the day, crypto is a marathon. Don't let the short-term noise distract you from the bigger picture.$BTC
