The Crypto Market has been recently bubbling and once or twice I've taken time to check Twitter while waiting for my numerous hospital sessions. It's a good thing. I remembered when LUNA happened, and then consecutively FTX followed suit in just the space of 3 months. Weeks later we heard of other rogue exchanges that crashed and some other exchanges began to stop operation because of the witch hunt of the SEC.
We could arguably say 2022 was the worst year for crypto, and even till December, the terrible news kept coming in. It looked like crypto would never catch a break and in fact, the end was already near. One of the saddest things is having bad things consecutively happen. It Makes it difficult to create a corresponding recovery process.
This was why 2022 was to me the most terrible year in crypto, and this was because of the recurrent disasters that happened. Recurrent events that don't get better make people lose hope. When hope is completely lost, the ingredients necessary to keep fighting are hardly discovered not to talk of even being put together. It's the same when there's a sequence of positive occurrences.
A lot of news is going round about Blackrock's ETF.
The news is that we might see approval before the end of January 2024, before now, we've seen the likes of Michael Saylor accumulate BTC like it's child's play. Some other personnel coming out to say BTC is the digital gold that might eventually become the future. Everything seems to be aligning well with crypto, and the pump we're currently seeing corresponds with the principle of recurrent positivity. It's human psychology.
I've always said that everyone wants to join a moving train or a moving ship.
The positivity around crypto plus the pumps we are currently seeing is almost a certainty that we will the 2024/05 bull market is guaranteed. Relating to me, I can say a lot has gone wrong for me in 2023. From losing my brother to hitting a serious setback in my health situation, to almost entering a zone of depression.
There was almost no space for healing and recovery, and no matter what it is, be it a human being or any occurrence, it's bad to be experiencing a series of recurrent negative events, it makes recovery almost impossible. I'm not one to always shy away from challenges. I believe that when people have life, there's this atom of hope that change is always a possibility.
In my brother's case, nothing was really working, but I had the belief that eventually things would work out someday, however when the loss of life happens, this belief is completely obliterated.
It's almost 2 months and I'm still mourning
this has taken a toll on my physical appearance and mental well-being and a visit to the hospital has shown that something is wrong with me and I have to address this fast to prevent further damage and depletion. I'm really not one to give up whatsoever, but it currently feels like I'm losing despite how hard I'm fighting. Someone told me that I wasn't the same person she saw 4 months ago and it was true, I did give up on hope, and this affected every attempt I've made at fighting. It was the same in 2022.
A time came when I felt crypto was truly done.
Gray Gensler kept chasing and nipping at the buds of every corner of crypto, it felt like he'd eventually win because everyone was busy playing scenes in their minds and even the strongest eventually gave up. Hell! I nearly gave up too. The point is that bad things will happen, and good things too. This is inevitable and no one can prevent or stop it.
However, the expectation is to have a mix or blend of good and bad, negative and positive and this is what eventually forms the human experience.
The beauty of crypto is experienced a bear market for four years and had a bull market after that. While the bear market might be considered to be a terrible period, it's actually a period of accumulation. However, one thing that makes it bad is if it continues after four years without any sign of ever getting better.
Even if it eventually gets better let's say 6 or 8 years later, hitting double or triple ATH, the fact that it's failed to experience a run during its stipulated time, trust is lost and it's difficult to establish hope again.
In reality, tough times aren't entirely bad.
It can become a cushion to appreciate victory, it only becomes worrisome when it seems like it'll never end. From last July till now, it's been rough and it seems to have gotten more intense with time, the process has been exhausting and excruciating.
A lot of people think tough people exceed tough times, but I feel this is not practical. When tough time becomes engineered to last a long time, it takes away the longevity or toughness of people who are primarily deemed to be strong.
This week, I go for my next tests and the probable outcome will determine the next course of treatment.
