The crypto market is frequently said to be an up only movement market, a saying which can be proven to be blatantly false based on the dip that almost sent us to trenches in 2022.

The market is actually like every other utility market, it has highs and lows, and people must at some point take profits. Some other people at some point create FOMO and cause huge turbulence in the price.
According to Warren Buffett, the stock market is a means of transfer of wealth from the impatient ones to the patient ones.
You can't just come into trading today with $5k and expect to become a millionaire by the end of the year. Off course it is possible, but it requires critical decision making, gradual step and proper portfolio management.
If you dive head first into the market with the intention of making profits, you become irrational with your decisions and you don't trade with a clear mindset thereby leading to getting burnt/losing your money.
Much of what you do in this market is protecting your profits and capital so you don't lose it back to the market.
I am ticktalker and I am just dropping my 2 cents, until next time I write to you again, stay SAFU.
