This week I kept seeing the same dramatic headlines everywhere:
Bitcoin plunges. Investors flee. Billions liquidated. Crypto collapses.
And as someone who’s still new to this whole Web3 world, I’m not gonna lie — it messed with my head a little.

Every time the market dips, the media jumps straight to funeral mode.
It’s like they have “Crypto is Dead — Part 87” already drafted and ready to publish.

At first, I kind of panicked.
If pros are losing billions in liquidations… what chance do beginners like me have?

But after reading more, taking a breath, and actually trying to understand what was happening, something clicked for me:

Crypto isn’t dying. The news just loves drama.

Here’s what I noticed this week:

1. Markets drop. Markets rise. But headlines only scream during the drops.
$3.7B in long liquidations sounds terrifying… until you realize it’s mostly leverage gamblers getting wiped, not the entire industry collapsing.

2. While everyone panics, big players quietly accumulate.
BitMine just bought 70,000 ETH — even while sitting on losses.
That doesn’t look like “crypto is dead”; it looks like “we’re grabbing as much as we can while it’s cheap.”

3. Institutions are still building.
New ETFs launching. Asian countries discussing Bitcoin reserves.
These aren’t moves you make toward something that’s “over.”

4. The loudest stories are always the negative ones.
They get clicks. They get people talking.
But they rarely tell the full picture.

And all of this made me realize something important for my own journey:

For newbies like me, the biggest risk is not the market…
it’s believing the fear narrative.

Crypto has died 100+ times according to headlines.
Yet somehow, here it is again — alive, chaotic, dramatic, unpredictable, and honestly… kind of exciting.

So no, I don’t think crypto is dying.
I think it’s doing what it always does: shaking out noise, confusing everyone, and testing who’s actually paying attention.

I’m still early in my learning phase, but this week taught me a valuable lesson:

Don’t let headlines decide your emotions.
Learn. Observe. Think for yourself.

Tomorrow, the news might say “Crypto is back from the dead.”
Same story, just flipped.

And I’m here for all of it — one day at a time.
