Great breakdown, @newbreed The point about Bitcoin no longer moving in isolation is spot on. When tech stocks drop and oil prices spike due to geopolitical tension, risk-off sentiment hits everything — crypto included.
To answer databaron's question: yes, I'm sizing smaller until the macro picture clears up. Buying dips blindly when inflation fears are resurfacing is dangerous. A $82K support level means nothing if the Fed turns hawkish again next week.
Your Nigerian angle is crucial. Too many people treat crypto as a quick fix for financial pressure. If you're investing rent money or school fees, you're not trading — you're gambling with your survival. Volatility doesn't care about your bills.
The discipline to wait, research, and avoid panic-selling is harder than any technical analysis. Most losses happen because people react emotionally instead of sticking to a plan.
Also, thanks @lett70 for flagging that scam comment. These fake airdrop bots are getting aggressive on Hive. Stay safe everyone.
