Entering the vortex of the cryptocurrency circle: the days when your heartbeat is in sync with the market
When I first entered the cryptocurrency world, it was like stepping into the center of a mysterious and crazy vortex. Every day, my emotions were tightly tied to the ups and downs of the market. When I woke up in the morning, the first thing I did was to check the price trend of the currency. The jumping numbers could instantly speed up my heartbeat. When the market was rising, my heart was full of greed and expectation. It seemed that financial freedom was within reach, as if I could accurately grasp the pulse of the market. Every tiny increase could trigger infinite reverie and excitement. However, once the situation suddenly changed and the market took a sharp turn for the worse, fear came like a tidal wave. Regret and anxiety were intertwined, my palms were sweating, and I kept asking myself why I didn't stop the loss in time. In this vortex of the cryptocurrency world, there were brief moments of ecstasy, but more of them were torment of sleepless nights. But it is precisely this roller coaster-like experience that allows people to deeply appreciate the cruelty and charm of the financial market. In the synchronized ups and downs of heartbeats and market conditions, they gradually understand the true meaning of investment and the weaknesses of human nature. Perhaps this is the most special "gift" that the currency circle gives to every participant. Although this "gift" brings pain, it is also unforgettable and hard to forget. I don't know where tomorrow's market will take this heart, and we can only continue to struggle, move forward and explore in this vortex.
I wanted to be financially free, but I was taught again and again
I plunged into the cryptocurrency circle with a vision of financial freedom. I thought I was on a smooth road, but I didn't expect it to be full of thorns. Watching the account funds decrease day by day, my mood also sank to the bottom. Those beautiful ideas have now become a bubble.
The ups and downs of the cryptocurrency circle have ruthlessly hit my wallet and psychological defenses, making me understand that financial freedom is never an easy dream to achieve. But this lesson is not all bitter. It made me understand the fear of the market and realize my lack of knowledge and mentality. Perhaps this is the inevitable pain of growth, and it is also an opportunity to re-examine investment and learn accumulation. The long road of investment in the future, go and be cautious.
Currently, the price of Bitcoin is strong, reaching a new historical high, but there is uncertainty about whether it can rise to $100,000.
From a favorable perspective, first, there is an influx of institutional investment, with financial giants like BlackRock incorporating Bitcoin into their balance sheets and launching Bitcoin exchange-traded funds, driving a large influx of capital that pushes prices up. Secondly, Trump's election victory has brought expectations of favorable policies, as his team is discussing the establishment of a new position specifically responsible for cryptocurrency policies with the digital asset industry, and the market expects a more friendly policy environment in the future. Furthermore, the Bitcoin 'halving' event in 2024 reduces the issuance rate of new Bitcoins, while demand continues to grow, driving prices up.
However, there are also some unfavorable factors. On one hand, there are concerns about market structure; the $11.8 billion contracts for crypto options expiring on December 27 could trigger volatility, and a pullback may occur in the short term. On the other hand, the timing of policy implementation is uncertain; despite positive expectations, the specific timeline and content of the policies remain unclear.$$BTC
