Every Bitcoin Crash Taught Me to See the Truth
I used to panic every time the charts turned red. The candles would bleed, and I’d sell—not because I chose to, but because the exchange wanted me to. It took years of losses and emotional rollercoasters to realize something critical: that fear wasn’t mine. It was planted.
2013 crushed me. 2015 humbled me. 2018 nearly broke me. But by 2022? I felt nothing. I wasn’t watching price anymore—I was watching the machine behind it. The exchange doesn’t care about fundamentals or logic. It runs on reaction. It tells a story, triggers your nerves, and then watches as you hit “sell” at the worst possible moment.
In April 2025, when Bitcoin dropped from $109K to $74K, I saw people panic and rush for the exits. A month later, it slipped from $112K to $105K—same pattern, same trap. I didn’t move. Not because I’m fearless, but because I finally understood how the system is built. These crashes aren’t random—they’re designed. They're not just corrections; they’re psychological resets. Price doesn’t fall just to shake out weak hands—it falls to rewire how we think. The exchange doesn’t just want your money. It wants your confidence shattered.
One day, Bitcoin will drop from $2 million to $1.5 million, and the headlines will scream collapse. But I won’t blink. Because now I see it clearly: the drop is an illusion—but the system that feeds on your fear is very real.
