Lost Hope in Cryptocurrency in 2025

[bayu7adi]

-I see that in 2025 I have given up, I no longer want to be involved in cryptocurrency for many reasons, including the price of cryptocurrency not being like 2013 to 2021.
-He also said that from 2022 until now the cryptocurrency market is saturated and cannot be relied on to take advantage of trading.
-He also said "Just look now, Bitcoin seems reluctant to go up again and many altcoins have dropped in price so sharply".

BTW, did your friend not read the latest news when he said that.. even when you made this topic at the end of February 2025, there the BTC bullish moment was still very strong... the latest BTC ATH was just recorded and it became a positive trend for cryptocurrency to make a profit...

Why is what he said not in accordance with the facts??? Is he only looking at it from the perspective of his favorite altcoin? So when in 2022 we see altcoins going crazy, he tries to repeat that time and unfortunately it hasn't happened again until now... even though several altcoin peaks that occurred throughout 2022, are still below the peaks that occurred in early 2025... while 2025 is not over yet... is his hope that thin to continue his career in the cryptocurrency world?

You're absolutely right crypto is a high risk space where even seasoned traders can face significant losses due to missteps or market volatility. Your experience with altcoin losses and the stories from your local community about airdrop hype costing thousands highlight this reality. Newbies, with less experience, are even more likely to make mistakes, which is common in such a speculative market. To navigate this, it’s crucial to prioritize research, set clear risk limits, and avoid FOMO-driven decisions. Sharing these stories helps underscore the importance of caution and strategy in crypto trading.

The main thing is that to be successful in this market, we first need to know the nature of the market. For example, in my terminology, the nature of the crypto market is to create new markets that are always changing.
Where there is a lot of psychological games, you will see many professional traders who have been trading for a long time also lose in the psychological games of this market and sometimes suffer losses.Therefore, we must always be aware of the market and constantly try to understand the psychological games of the market in a new way.

We must have extensive knowledge, not only on matters directly related to the market, but also on the news side that contains positive and negative news that can greatly affect the market.

Not only that, because there are many factors including ourselves. Wanting to learn is the main thing of course, besides that we must also have a good mentality that will only be obtained along with our experience.

Every time the prices of cryptocurrencies stagnate, people are always going to feel like its not going up forever. No wonder the prices dips further more and then panics for the rest of the holders.

I can say things have changed since the 2018 bear market. Even in 2021 the market is not so alive but there are still altcoins that reaches its heights. This 2024 only BTC and a handful of altcoins are rising. Its like everyone is only interested in BTC.

There is always FOMO, unfortunately, many people don't released that this bullish momentum don't last for ever. Some people buy Bitcoin on the resistance price level which is absolutely the act of inexperienced traders/investors on the crypto market.
There are few altcoins that followed the Bitcoin trends in 2024, though some of them are built on the Bitcoin protocol eg Litecoin, Pepe. There are also other tokens that moved along side Bitcoin trends, these tokens might have been driven by demands and other factors like platform upgrades, news etc.

Actually what the market really requires is experience to make trading decisions and adopt to the market dynamics probably with flexible strategies.
I don't think the crypto market has anything to do with psychological games, but rather, there is investors or market sentiments that pushes the price on a side ways movements at certain intervals.

Your statement captures a critical aspect of the crypto market its dynamic and psychologically driven nature. The constant evolution of new markets within the crypto space indeed sets it apart, requiring traders to adapt continuously. The emphasis on psychological games is spot on emotions like fear and greed, often drive market movements, sometimes overriding even the most seasoned traders strategies. Staying vigilant and approaching the market with a fresh perspective to decode these psychological undercurrents is essential for success. However, it might also be worth noting that alongside psychological awareness, a robust risk management strategy and technical analysis can help mitigate losses when these psychological traps inevitably arise.

Do you really know what psychology is?

Your psychological power plays a role in any decision you make. For example, if I ever make a wrong trade due to panic, my psychology is also responsible for that.
And in the market, big whales constantly play games with the psychology of general traders and I call this the psychological game of the market. And yes, it is definitely in the market.

If a trader's psychology is disturbed, then something beyond their ability will definitely happen, where the risk of loss will be more prominent than the profit, especially if the market continues to fall, in desperation, traders who have a declining psychology can be said to panic, they will definitely sell below without thinking twice instead of reducing losses without realizing they have lost

For those of you who have known cryptocurrency for a long time from 2021 onwards, is my friend's statement valid with what you are feeling right now?

Your friend's statement is very valid based on my own personal experiences as well, but this is not yet enough reason to give up really, I myself discovered cryptocurrency and God fully involved in 2016, took a break in 2017 And came back again in late 2020, since then, I've been here trying all I can to make money here, though I have not achieved my goals yet, I am still grateful for the fact that I am much financially better right now than when I joined crypto in 2016 and when I came back in 2020.

It's absolutely true that alot of change, making money in crypto has become more than x1000 difficult than it was way back in the 2016 to 2022 era, hundreds of thousands if not millions of Altcoin projects have come and gone with 99 percent of them being a scam that took investors money away, this has made a lot of people lose interest and faith in crypto currency over the years and still happening even till date, this is one of the major reasons ICO, IEO launchpads, and other forms and means of fundraising for new projects died, today, nobody talks about any of this things anymore because they are nothing but gateway through which investors lose their money to fake, scam and unserious projects.

But still, there is still money to be made in crypto if you know your way around it, and this is exactly what many of us who are here are doing I think...

I think if a person have been in the crypto market long enough, they should be able to understand that how the market moves will always be swayed. And if this happens, one should be able to control themselves emotionally and psychologically. Everyone has felt that urge to give up at some point but it’s takes one’s ability to control of emotions in order to move forward because losses comes with the market, it’s inevitable.
