As the market ebbs into another accumulation phase, heads are cooled and opinions split. As the “buy the dip” chatter wanes, this flash crash has left a bitter aftertaste for many of us. Is this the dreaded end to the BTC dream run?.

The market had been overextended for quite a while now, with greed metrics sitting at extremely high levels. Leveraging entire life savings and college university fees into wildly speculative coins, retail investors are here in full flow. Volatility is the price you pay for getting your feet wet into an asset class that has been the best performing class for more than a decade now. This, combined with negative news from China and the rapidly changing outlook of Musk has meant that this has exceeded the usual standard correction by about 15% and may be considered as a flash crash.

• The last time there was so much fear, it was March of 2020: the dreaded days of despair. We know what happened post 3/20.

• 21 Million bitcoin. 7 billion people. That is one bitcoin for every 127 people after factoring out all aged, rural and inaccessible segments.

• There are six million cryptocurrency holders in India. We have a population of 1400 million.

• Gold has a financial market cap of 4 Trillion (7 trillion locked up)- with BTC recently surpassing entire GDP’s of several Countries, we would see it flip gold at $256K.

Putting the emotions aside, what is the data telling us? The bitcoin bull run is far from over. It was only a matter of time before the lengthening cycles theory put a cap on the rapid acceleration. If the data is showing us something, its that the run up to $64K is more than likely a warm up for things to come, after this accumulation period that is. Money will continue to flow from inexperienced hands to confident hands.

Bottom-top investing must be used to your advantage. Invest in fundamentals for when the dust clears and the crypto winter sets in, you dont want to be on the sinking ship of speculation, rather, sit worry-free at the helm of your submarine, iron-clad with fundamentals and time-tested to withstand immense pressure that the depths of uncertainty bring with it.

Pick projects that for example are already being Integrated into smart city projects in Dubai rather than those that promise to get you to the moon. You’ve proofread that perfect white paper? What if that isn’t enough? Do not forget to meticulously comb through the team’s past to uncover secrets that simply cannot be perceived in the euphoric present. You would want to be the investor who’s tokens facilitate the implementation of a sustainable circular economy- coalescing smart contracts, passive income and decentralised finance into a well oiled ecosystem, instead of a project that is inducing the illusion of scarcity- by first minting its tokens, and then announcing mind numbing coin burns that more times than not have proven to be detrimental to its tokenomics in the long run.

What if there was a way not to be jolted out of a plan everytime an influential tweet goes out? A way to get away from all those forwards that either get you to fear for all your investment’s worth, or induce the fear of missing out on the coming of the ‘N’th god level coin that promises you real estate on Mars. What If there was a way to narrow out those four thousand five hundred coins into a low* risk, high yield and long term basket that has you scaling in emotion-free, putting your money to work as you build brick by brick- a foundation that will keep bearing fruits for you.
