It's now fully formed. It's no longer a chaotic Wild West. It's a well-oiled machine ⚙️.
Every few months (roughly every six months), most cryptocurrencies experience a sharp surge of +40%. People get caught up in the frenzy, everyone is shouting "new bull run," and FOMO (fear of missing out) reaches its peak. Then, there's a sudden crash of 30%. And so the cycle repeats 🔄. Again and again.
This isn't random. It's a system. Exchanges and large players deliberately manipulate volatility. They need liquidations. They need your fear and your greed. Each of these cycles represents billions of dollars flowing from the pockets of traders to the pockets of those who orchestrate this spectacle 💸.
Bitcoin, due to its size, behaves slightly differently: +30% up, -20% down. But the principle is the same 📈📉.
Look at Ethereum, XRP, and many other coins. The pattern repeats with alarming accuracy. The market is no longer growing "into thin air." It's breathing. Up and down. Up and down. And with each breath, someone gets richer, while someone else is left with nothing.
But there's good news ✅.
Soon, we will transition to the next phase. The cycles will become smoother and shorter. Crypto will rise for 2-3 months and then fall for one or two months. The market will grow by 20-30% and then fall by 10-20%. And so on.
Those who understand this game before others will stop being prey. And those who don't will continue to buy at the highs and sell at the lows 📊.
The market is now mature. The question is, are we mature enough? 🧠
