Seeing Bitcoin plummet straight from $126,000, the market is once again bearish—90% of coins will go to zero, a bear market is coming, and so on. I heard this kind of rhetoric back in 2022, during the Luna crash and the FTX collapse, and it was the same narrative.

Honestly, this wave of panic this year didn’t scare me at all. The reason is simple—I survived the last bear market and figured out the game. That year, Bitcoin was crashing from $69,000; I went all-in at $17,000, only to watch it drop to $15,500. That feeling wasn’t pleasant, but it taught me one important lesson: a bear market is not the end, but a major wealth transfer.

Some people are predicting numbers—peaking at $126,000 in October 2025, then dropping to $30,000–$60,000 by the end of 2026. These figures are tempting, but anyone who has traded knows the market never follows a set pattern. That said, opportunities always favor those who are prepared.

If there’s really a plunge to $30,000–$50,000, that would be the moment I’ve been waiting for two years. But this time, my approach is different. The most crucial part is the first line of defense—converting 30% of my funds into stablecoins. Not just to protect capital, but to have ammunition ready at critical moments.
