and why is this even necessary, I will go buy something for myself that will make me more

So far, I understand one truth: before the elections, they lowered the price to $BTC as much as possible and bought everything that could be bought. Naturally, the price began to rise, pulling up the altcoins. Especially $ETH , $SOL , $XRP. The market sharply fell when the elections passed, and the price rose to $100,000. Then the Bitcoin crash began, dragging down all the coins again. They sold, made a good profit, and those who had enough for cheap coins suddenly found out that the bubble had burst.
What do we have today? The previously pumped coins that were bought in advance are again inflated Bitcoin, but the altcoins cannot reach the necessary price. And here they are dumping new useless coins on the market, trimming the remaining green that can be sheared. The moral of this post is: There is no such thing as decentralized cryptocurrency. There is a managed market, an exchange, and there are sheep that can be sheared. 😉 Be careful. Don't believe these exchange professors who, with beautiful graphs, drawings, and smart words, are just messing with your head. Buy stable coins and stay on the spot. Or better yet, keep everything in stablecoins, convert to Eran at 10-15%, and be content with what you have.
