2018 is considered the worst year as it may be the first shock to many people who are new to the market, but compared to this year.
This year is really the worst year for bitcoin because it has never experienced difficulties such as war, economic crisis as well as interest rate pressure. It has to be said that this has been a challenging year as well as a test for bitcoin, and the fact that bitcoin ended the year at $16k isn't too bad.
I agree with OgNasty, in the future, we will have more difficulty and unpredictability than years ago, when CBDC and regulation were affecting the market and bitcoin.
I agree that this year has been one of the worst years economically, not just crypto neither because the whole world has been terrible economically. I had the worst year of my life economically in 2022 and I do not think that it has anything to do with crypto.
I made the most amount of money I have ever made, I made way more than I normally make and even with that I am still in debt, thankfully not a lot but that's thanks to me making a lot of money, whereas many people couldn't and they are living a terrible life right now. I am guessing that it's going to be a terrible year overall and we are going to end up with even worse situation in 2023 if governments do not fix the problem.
Perhaps I am like you in this, although this year the crisis and inflation are rampant, I have a much higher income than in previous years. Not only was I able to pay off my old debts, but I also saved some money, and that's why I hope this bear season can last longer or even fall further so I have more investment opportunities.
This year has been a bad year for bitcoin, but it's not bad for investors like me. I missed my chance in 2018, so this is my chance to correct all my mistakes.
