History doesn’t change in Bitcoin. The numbers just get bigger.

In 2017, Bitcoin peaked near $21,000 and then fell more than 80%. In 2021, it topped around $69,000 and dropped roughly 77%. In the most recent cycle, after reaching around $126,000, price has already corrected more than 70%.

Each time feels different. Each time the narrative is new. Each time people say, “This cycle is not like the others.” And yet, when you zoom out, the structure looks painfully familiar.

Parabolic rise.

Euphoria.

Overconfidence.

Then a brutal reset.

The percentages remain consistent. The emotional pain remains consistent. Only the dollar amounts expand.

This is not coincidence. It is structural behavior.

Bitcoin is a fixed-supply asset trading in a liquidity-driven global system. When liquidity expands and optimism spreads, capital flows in aggressively. Demand accelerates faster than supply can respond. Price overshoots.

But when liquidity tightens, leverage unwinds, and sentiment shifts, the same reflexive loop works in reverse. Forced selling replaces FOMO. Risk appetite contracts. And the decline feels endless.

Understanding this pattern is the first educational step.

Volatility is not a flaw in Bitcoin. It is a feature of an emerging, scarce, high-beta asset.

But education begins where emotion ends.

Most people do not lose money because Bitcoin crashes. They lose money because they behave incorrectly inside the crash.

Let’s talk about what you should learn from every major drawdown.

First, drawdowns of 70–80% are historically normal for Bitcoin. That doesn’t make them easy. It makes them expected.$BTC #CZAMAonBinanceSquare #USRetailSalesMissForecast #WhaleDeRiskETH
