The best years to buy were 2010... 2015... hell, even 2020. If you got in low, you won. Simple as that. You’re set. That window was once in a lifetime, and it’s closed now.
Now? It feels like a different game entirely.
It’s not about buying some coins, tossing them in a wallet, and forgetting about it for five years anymore. That era’s fading. Now it’s a shark tank. It’s Wall Street with a crypto twist. It’s whales moving markets on a whim. It’s trading futures with insane leverage, trying to snipe 5% moves between liquidations.
The “buy and hold” dream feels… naive now. The volatility is weaponized. The charts are battlegrounds.
Maybe I’m just nostalgic. Maybe I’m wrong. But it feels like the soul of it changed. It’s not our little secret anymore. It’s a global casino, and the house has way bigger chips.
Anyone else feel this way? Or am I just completely off base here?
