These days, it's not just hard to make money in crypto, but sticking to trading crypto makes you look like an idiot. The last bear market, even though it was a bear market, at least we had stuff like NFTs and GameFi to mess around with. Plus, back then, the U.S. stock market hadn’t really infiltrated the crypto space, and other stock markets? Forget it, there was no action at all. So honestly, the bear market back then wasn’t as painful as now. Now, not only can’t you grow the money in your own pocket, but everyone else is out there printing money every day. What’s even worse is, if you casually buy some U.S. stocks, you might actually make money— and then end up selling too early. It’s like stacking multiple debuffs on top of each other.
