We are through 2 years of bearish news.

No, this is only how it feels. After the sugar rush comes a time of fatigue, clouding your straight thoughts and giving you a very present feeling of regret. The sugar sets down, we are in recovery and everyone needs to fight the tiredness.  

The last weeks settled in a narrative that is against the actual bullish news around crypto; the charts do not move upwards at times of great news of adoption which indeed is the most bearish signal the market can show. Usually, BTC did react strong on both ends, bulls and bears hold a predictable balance. In fact, over the last months all of that did not matter in the semi-macro view on the market as from November to April, we have been celebrating an uprise which drifted away from fundamentals into unpredictable NFT investments, initial dex offerings raised money in a way remembering the 2017 ICO hysteria. The last brick in the wall was the moment exchanges did stop new accounts and crypto became the next hot thing, as you heard your neighbors talking about it like a must have. It is indeed, so what went wrong? The crypto community might have stopped themselves from a healthy growth, jumping from one extreme into another which culminated into billions of high speculative money into meme coins, groups openly attacking the markets and manipulate on the back of hedges.

Well, what's the real value of an asset. For crypto this is something we cannot predict as it is a technology in the very youth years. Few charts show a healthy development that the termonology "asset" applies. We, the people, are giving those assets a meaningful future, a healthy growth or we will ride on a rollercoaster which does not relate to the fundamental facts of bull or bear, of inflation, of bubbles. The last weeks felt like months, years because we were having this sugar rush. Our parents always told us not to eat too much of anything and if we commit to something which is important to us, we have to cherish it like a young plant, give protection from the storms until it becomes the strong plant nourishing us. 

So here we stand, not have listened to our parental advise, again. 

We Hodl, we Stake, we Sell, we Buy. No one really knows right now in which direction the market goes as we never had so much strong money coming into the market, fundamentals and network effects with real world use cases and regulations not aiming on destroying “Bitcoin” but containing it.  

What we can do, regardless of which strategy we choose is not to follow the FUD/FOMO and first get out of the sugar shock aftermath to see clearer, feel better and get back the feeling about the here and now. And me, I am pretty sure that the here and now is one small piece of an unstoppable technology and in the grand sheme of things the long term bull is around the corner.
