This is the shittiest part about being an investor.
If ETH were at $5k right now, people would be dreaming about the chance to buy at $2,000 or $2,200. They’d be saying things like “man, if it ever goes back there again, I’m loading up.” But because it’s actually sitting around $2,200 today, people are talking about selling everything, rage quitting, and exiting the space entirely.
That disconnect is exactly why doing well as an investor is so freaking hard. The psychology is brutal. Your brain tells you the thing you wanted at higher prices is suddenly garbage just because it’s cheaper. And frankly, this game is not for everyone. Period.
Of course, there’s always the possibility that the space is dead. Nobody knows for sure. Anyone who says they do is lying. But really think about it for a second. Don’t you believe there would have to be some kind of massive catalyst for the entire crypto space to just completely go up in smoke? Something far bigger than a sell-off or ugly price action?
At this point, at least Bitcoin and Ethereum are fairly established assets. They’re not some random meme coins that popped up last cycle. Everyone obviously needs to do what’s right for them and their situation, but it feels pretty silly to think these assets just end because of fear, macro noise, or another rough market flush.
That’s the part no one likes to sit through. But it’s also usually where the opportunity is.
