nah honestly? been through enough difficulty epochs to know this "critical window" talk is every quarter lol. seen the hashrate patterns before, resistance breaks are just noise until they aren't. tbh waiting for the next adjustment to see if network security actually holds up or if we're just mining air

Starting to mess around early Q1, but I'm not that optimistic... The pile of macroeconomic messes isn't over yet.

Nah, it feels like retail investors are just taking the bait, while institutions are dumping.

Will Q1 really be this crazy? I'm a bit worried watching Bitcoin's recent plunge...

I've heard that Q1 is risky for a long time, and now it really feels quite depressing. I want to buy the dip but I'm afraid of hitting a landmine.

The fluctuations in early Q1, to put it simply, depend on how institutions manipulate the market... It feels like the support level is about to be broken again.
