🤑🤑 ☕ It was evening, and I was staring at my laptop screen, watching the charts. Suddenly, I heard a faint "ping!" behind me. I turned around, and there it was… Bitcoin! Glowing like Christmas lights, all golden, wearing a detective’s hat and thin glasses, as if it was about to reveal the biggest financial secret in the world.
– "Well, well, well!" it said, waving its “wallet.” "You’re really sitting here all day just watching me move?"
– "Yes, Bitcoin," I replied with a slight smile. "Everyone’s waiting for you to break the next barrier. Rumor has it you’re heading for $100,000."
Bitcoin squinted at me through its glasses.
– "Wait, wait… You think I’ll get there soon too?" it said, bursting into laughter. "I’ve been pulling tricks on people for years! One moment I jump, the next I drop, and they think they can predict my moves. I’m the king of surprises!"
– "But you know, people trust you. They invest, cross their fingers, dream of new Lambos…" I winked at it knowingly.
Bitcoin nodded, winking back like a buddy at the pub.
– "Alright, I’ll let you in on a secret," it lowered its voice. "I *am* going to $100,000. But I won’t tell you when! I could get there tomorrow, maybe next year… or I might just dip for coffee along the way to stress the investors a bit!"
I burst out laughing. Of course, Bitcoin was in top form as always. It gave me an invisible "fist bump," winked, and before I could say anything else, it vanished, leaving behind a cheerful "ping!" and a mysterious promise.
From that moment on, I knew – whenever Bitcoin goes for coffee, the best thing to do is just sit back and patiently wait for its return.
Donald Trump wins the election on Wednesday, and it's Saturday. 96 hours. And what's happening in the US and the world:
World: 1. Donald Tusk says that "Some assumptions regarding CO2 emissions are disarming the European economy",
2. After the EU summit in Budapest, information appears that "the European Green Deal will now have to be verified and seriously, because the European economy will not withstand competition and cheap energy carriers, even from the US",
3. EU head Ursula von der Leyen announces that "the EU is ready to buy natural gas from the US and limit purchases of Russian LNG",
4. China announced a massive fiscal package worth $1.4 trillion on Friday, in order to support the country's economy and wants to cooperate peacefully with the US,
5. The President of Russia announced that Russia will settle the sale of its oil in dollars and is ready to end the war in Ukraine,
6. The President of Ukraine talks to Donald Trump and Elon Musk by phone about ending the war, and the President of Russia announced that he "will pick up if Trump calls",
7. The Prime Minister of Iraq talks with Trump and hopes to "end wars" in the Middle East,
8. Qatar throws Hamas leaders out of the country (including closing its office in Doha), and Hamas appeals for peace,
9. Taiwan's TSMC - the world's largest semiconductor manufacturer suspends production of AI chips for Chinese companies,
10. Mexico disperses a caravan of migrants heading to the US border. No one is waiting for them in the States either, because the money has suddenly evaporated,
I met up with my buddies today, and it wasn't a pleasant meeting for them. 😬 It all started a few months ago when I decided to share my big investment thoughts with them. We were sitting around having a beer, and with an air of expertise, I said:
"Guys, listen to me carefully. You need to cash out before the market starts to drop. Realize your profits before it's too late."
The reaction was immediate and, well, far from what I expected. Instead of appreciating my insight, they burst into laughter. 😂
"Yeah, right, Nostradamus!" one joked. "Maybe you'll tell us the exact date of the end of the world next?" 🌍
"Money doesn't grow on trees, buddy!" another added, mimicking my tone. 🌳
But I didn't get discouraged and stuck to my plan. I was cashing out profits even as the indices climbed higher 📈, while everyone on financial forums was euphoric. They called me various names: "The Panic-Monger," "The Bear in Shining Armor," and other equally "flattering" titles. 🐻
Then the correction came. And what a correction it was! 📉 My portfolio was diving like a freefall, and I calmly watched the situation from the sidelines, with my already realized profits safely in hand. 💰 When the market hit rock bottom, I started buying up stocks at bargain prices. My friends were in a panic, biting their nails and frantically scrolling through their plummeting portfolios. 😨📉
So today, as we met again over a beer, I sat calmly with the face of a victor. 😎 Them? They had nervous tics and pained expressions. 😖 Finally, I couldn't help but say:
"As I told you guys for months, to cash out, you laughed at me. Today, I've got realized profits and the capital to buy the dips, while you don't even have any nails left." 💵📉💅

🥹Ugh, people... I'm really down right now. I bought Bitcoin at $72,000, thinking it was the best investment ever, and now it has dropped by 10 percent. I’m terrified it will drop even more, and I’ll be left with even bigger losses. It's like watching a nightmare unfold in slow motion. I can’t stop obsessing over how much money I sunk into this and how much I regret that decision. Every day, I wake up with the dread of checking the price, thinking, "What if it gets even worse?"
My financial situation is getting so bad that I might soon have to sell my car just to stay afloat. But hey, just kidding. I sold it at ath. Loser.
🚨Caution! Risk Appetite Ahead! Expect significant fluctuations in both directions.
We are soon to receive data on consumer inflation in the USA. Unfortunately, all indications point to it being higher than forecasted, which will significantly impact global markets.
The government cannot afford a crisis before the elections and will do everything to prevent panic; however, the data unequivocally indicates a deteriorating situation.
Ford is losing thousands of dollars on each electric vehicle, there are waves of mass layoffs, closures of local businesses (small businesses represent the majority of tax revenues), decreased demand for luxury goods such as apartments or cars.
History may repeat itself. I foresee a healthy correction, which would present a good opportunity to acquire assets. $BTC
Do any of you believe there will be a crisis in the US in the next 10 months?
If there is a recession, the valuations of some major projects will drop significantly (I believe even 80%).
There are many indications of this and I don't want to repeat myself, but I would advise you to be very careful so that you don't freeze your capital for the next few years.
Are any of you waiting for a correction as much as I am?
The historically weakest period for cryptocurrencies is approaching - the holiday season. I don't see much interest, and the "street" isn't moving. The economic situation of many countries and recent conflicts in the world also do not help in achieving further peaks. Add a side trend and the end of Halving Hype.
I believe that this is not yet the moment for solid growth and I am closer to saying that we will see a decline of several percent over the next few weeks.
I decided that I would gradually buy back several major projects over the next few months if they saw declines.
Remember! Always have a strategy. Average the purchase price. Only invest the amount you can afford to lose. The market is not a toy, it's scary how many entries there are of people who lost their life savings. You don't have to join them.$ETH $DOT $TRX
I sold most of the portfolio some time ago, now I'm buying the lows, I wonder what levels we will go to.
Many people write that this is not the end of the bull market. Not sure. For me it doesn't matter. I will buy and, in the worst case, freeze some of the assets.
