Everyone I talk to is exhausted by the uncertainty.
Most would take breakeven just to enjoy the holidays in peace.
This market has a way of triggering its biggest surprises
right when people lose hope.

This week will be massive for crypto:
Dec 8: possible Trump speech
Dec 10 (2:00 PM ET): Fed rate decision
Dec 10 (2:30 PM ET): Powell press conference
Dec 12: possible Trump speech
Volatility is guaranteed.
Are you positioned or just watching?

Suddenly you’re 34.
And you realize how easily life could’ve gone the boring way.
At 26 I wasn’t supposed to end up in crypto.
I was following the usual script.
Work, weekends, waiting for something to happen.
If I didn’t jump into crypto back then, I know exactly where I’d be now:
same job, same routine, same quiet feeling that life is passing by.
Wake up, commute, 9–5, gym, Netflix, sleep. Repeat forever.
Crypto changed everything.
It made me think bigger, take risks, build something that was actually mine.
And now at 34 I get it:
one decision can flip your whole life.
If I hadn’t taken that

Everyone suddenly flipped bullish again.
This feed moves with every candle, but the real trend hasn’t changed.
If you want to win here, stop reacting and start thinking.
Conviction is the only edge that actually lasts.

This market is so cooked I don’t even remember what a normal bull run feels like.
We’ve been dumped on, liquidated, and manipulated for so long that this became the new normal.
If a real bull shows up again, it won’t just surprise people
It’ll knock them out cold.

I bounced through jobs and random hustles until crypto.
Found it 9 years ago, went full time 5 years back.
People laughed, said I’d regret it.
Now I’ve built a real career, real investments, and a community from zero.
Changed my family’s life in the process.
Funny how belief only comes after you win.
Stay focused. Your moment’s coming.

I still think this cycle has one big leg left.
Bears think they shorted the top, but we haven’t seen anything close to real euphoria yet.
That phase always comes before a true peak.
And when it does, that’s where the big money is made.

Everyone keeps saying alts are dead, but the market is showing the opposite.
Alts held strong while BTC chopped and BTC.D finally cooled off.
Once Bitcoin flips into aggressive upside, alts are gonna explode.
Stay ready.

The wildest part of this cycle:
People loaded up on alts, dreaming of 10–100x and then leaving crypto forever.
Instead, they got stuck with bags.
Lesson learned:
Trade the market you have,
not the one you wish for.
