I watched Bitcoin get hit hard as U.S.–Iran tensions sparked a flash sell-off, wiping out tens of billions from the crypto market in minutes when strikes hit Iran and BTC dipped toward ~$63K before steadier hands stepped in.

Ether, $XRP , and Litecoin all swung sharply with $BTC — $ETH reclaimed the ~$2,000 zone and XRP snapped back after earlier losses — showing classic panic then repricing behavior.

Feels like history repeating: initial risk-off dumping gives way to calmer attempts at recovery once headlines stabilize.
