When Markets Shake

When you look at the global economic situation, you cannot help but notice the huge difference between what we used to know in the past and what we are experiencing right now. The fact that it is not only cryptocurrency that has been affected makes it seem as though there is significant manipulation by the three biggest banks in the world. Stocks, bonds, and even cryptocurrencies have taken a heavy blow.

Recently, I was talking to a friend about investments and what one can realistically do at this moment, considering the state of the cryptocurrency market. It is not entirely new, anyway. We witnessed a major crash in the cryptocurrency market in 2021 when Bitcoin dropped from its then all-time high of $68k to around $18k. At that time, it felt as though the world was coming to an end, as if there was an emergency in the crypto space. However, hope was revived in late 2023 when things began to change and Bitcoin started moving aggressively again. The only difference this time was that altcoins did not surge as dramatically as they did in 2021.

The recent decline in Bitcoin has once again affected the majority of altcoins, many of which had not even experienced significant growth. What does this actually tell us, and what should we do as a community? There is a need for us to think outside the box and focus on how Hive can function independently without constantly relying on Bitcoin. It is disheartening for people to watch their investments steadily decline.
As I mentioned earlier, I suggested to my friend that we could invest and leverage the market opportunities, but the response I received was far from positive. Perhaps it was due to a lack of available funds.

Right now, it is difficult to make money on Hive, and it is even more difficult to earn consistently. I was even considering taking a loan if that was what it would take to take advantage of the current market situation. After all, no matter how deep a cryptocurrency market downturn appears, it cannot remain that way forever, that is the most brutal truth. Securing financial support is one challenge; repayment is another entirely. Only a loan with minimal interest and a flexible repayment plan makes practical sense. A one-time repayment structure without collateral would be ideal.

In the end, it all comes down to Hive’s potential to perform well and eventually surpass its previous all-time high.
