Everyone might as well take a look at last year's market. I've been paying attention to Ethereum for a long time; its market conditions are always swift to rise and fall. Many retail investors only remember the 'candy' they once enjoyed but forget the 'beating' during market crashes;
At the peak in 2024, the discussions were as heated as they are now — 'Ethereum breaks new highs', 'Ethereum will reach ten thousand', even many so-called celebrities were shouting to keep buying. Back then, we saw all sorts of positive news every day in various chat groups and squares, but when the market eventually halved, no one expected it to come so unexpectedly.
Some people even told me that 'institutions will bottom out', but this idea is really too naive. Institutions don’t come in to do charity; to put it bluntly, once there’s a slight change in policy, the ones who run the fastest will definitely be them, and when that time comes, the ones who truly 'catch the fall' will only be us retail investors. The greed in the market is already overflowing; the more it is like this, the more we need to stay calm. I even seriously suspect that the manipulators controlling Ethereum's market are the same group of people as a few years ago! $ETH
