CryptoDiary

You have endured a single year in the crypto market, lived it with eyes scorched by the relentless glare of charts, felt the gut-punch of projects collapsing within your own portfolio, and that unveils a profound truth: one year in crypto feels like five, for time does not merely pass here; it buckles, it condenses, it races through token lifecycles as swiftly as fruit flies vanish in a storm-tossed market. If you weathered 2024, you are no novice, my friend; you are a crypto veteran, forged in the crucible of chaos, standing resolute amidst the wreckage of a year that tested every belief, every bag, every chart line.
Recall the spring of 2024, when the ticker frenzy thrummed with fevered promises: coins, spurred by the US spot Bitcoin ETF launch that pushed Bitcoin past $60,000, dangled visions of cosmic gains, yet dreams of solar system exits crumbled into crash landings, their tickers delisted, their memory fading into the Central European fog, somewhere between hope and oblivion. If this stirs a haunting déjà vu, you are not alone: every veteran carries the ghosts of coins that burned bright, then vanished, leaving only faint echoes in silent Telegram groups.
The AI coin frenzy ignited first, a beacon in a restless market: $RNDR, $FET, $NOS surged, heralded as blockchain’s next frontier, their prices climbing as X influencers or Telegram gurus, self-proclaimed prophets of macro trends, swore they would redefine technology; yet, by summer, drowned in ETF rumors and macroeconomic mirages, their rallies fizzled, leaving portfolios bruised, and you, perhaps, checking charts at 3 a.m. on X or Telegram, questioning whether you exited too soon or lingered too long. Did you hold, clinging to the dream of a decentralized future, or pivot, chasing the next fleeting spark in the storm?
Then came the Solana meme coin wave, a deluge of absurdity and FOMO: $WIF, $BONK, and a chorus of dog-themed tokens flooded Telegram’s frenzied chats with dog hats, yapping Shiba Inus, and animated mascots with moonbound dreams, each promising a moonshot; if you missed the boat, you felt stranded on a desolate shore, but if you dove in, you were tethered to your screen, heart pounding, logic suspended in the roar of ticker frenzy. By May, most had sputtered, relegated to tax-loss fodder, yet $BONK’s chaos left its mark. As for $DOGE, $SHIB, and even $PEPE? Well, let’s just say I still hold those—for reasons both spiritual and inexplicable.
Summer brought a Telegram gold rush, a whirlwind of misplaced faith: TON emerged as crypto’s would-be messiah, its tap-to-earn games like Dogs, Notcoin, and Hamster Kombat captivating millions, their bots promising airdrops for relentless tapping; you joined the frenzy, tapping in a Telegram trance, dreaming of mass adoption, believing blockchain had found its killer app. Reality, ever the harsh critic, struck swiftly: the bots slowed, the airdrops underwhelmed, and those tokens, still lingering in your wallet, mark you as either nostalgic or stubbornly swearing you meant to sell at the top.
Then came Trump’s summer hype, a thunderclap of hope in July: at Nashville’s Bitcoin Conference, he vowed to make America the “crypto capital,” to fire regulators, to stockpile Bitcoin, and for a fleeting moment, you believed crypto’s savior had arrived; Bitcoin neared $60,000, meme coins surged, Telegram and crypto feeds buzzed with “Trump bump” memes blooming like spring weeds, yet the euphoria waned, leaving you to wonder if campaign promises would outlast the cheers. Was it a turning point, or merely another mirage in the market’s relentless storm?
But that was July; when November’s victory arrived, the market convulsed anew, fueled by Trump’s election and pro-crypto swagger: his pledge to lead a “crypto superpower” sparked meme coin pumps, yet the volatility echoed post-FTX trauma, a shadow lingering like a storm that refuses to break; the market was a casino, every pump a trap, every dip a betrayal, yet you persisted, scouring Telegram or trading groups for whispers of a bull run, refreshing Binance like a gambler waiting for the final card. That resilience defines you: not the profits, nor the losses, but the grit to endure, to witness madness without flinching.
Today, June 1, 2025, at 3:07 PM CEST, half the year has slipped away, vanished like a missed scalp on a sleepy weekend chart: light a candle for the coins that sank into delisting purgatory, raise a glass to the bags you still hold, not for their promise of wealth, but as proof of your defiance. Let the new apes rush into June’s shiny tokens, chasing fleeting promises: you have tasted May’s storms, borne the weight of a year that felt like five, and worn its scars as medals.
You are no mere trader; you are a survivor of 2024’s crucible, your red candles your hard-won badges: take a breath, glance at the charts, for in this storm-swept market, a new spark may yet flicker.
