Today’s my last day in crypto
This industry’s a joke and I do not wish to continue
Selling whatever I got left and investing in some irl business
To everyone who’s supported me through the years: I love you
Take care y’all!

Bitcoin got raped
- Saylor's average entry price tested
- Price reached the lows it had touched during the tariff war crash
- Chart looking ugly on most timeframes. Only some hope on the weekly.
- If you add up, all the liquidations we've seen in 2025 and this year, it'd probably be more than what we saw during the ftx and Luna crash.
Otoh, 70-75k zone has been tested a lot. Whales better hold the fort.

This dump was completely unexpected.
I’ve been studying technical analysis my whole life, and there were zero signs.
If anyone saw this coming, you’re a genius… because it was pure market manipulation, impossible to predict.

As bitcoin price collapses, I should remind you that intermittent fasting is good for health. Restaurant food is unreliable because you do not have control over ingredients. Homemade instant coffee is just as good as Starbucks coffee.
