I don't know how to describe this emotion, but every year that passes seems progressively worse than the previous one in a variety of ways. The last few years seem to be going downhill, with something unpleasant occurring every single year. In 2020 and 2021, we suffered enough with Covid-19, in 2022, we thought that we'd possibly get a break, but nope, the war started on February, which was followed by excessive inflation and an economic recession.

We're now entering 2023, and things aren't looking any better. Inflation keeps worsening, energy and oil prices are extremely volatile, while in our case in Greece and Italy, despite MWH being the cheapest it has been since the invasion, we're holding the record for the most expensive energy prices.



On top of that, a few days before 2023, half of the U.S.A. is suffering a terrible blizzard, with temperatures even reaching as low as -50C. Climate change is real, and it's only going to get worse in the following years.

I'm not sure if everything has gone downhill in the past few years or if I'm overexaggerating and making it sound worse than it really is. Perhaps my sitting all alone in my bed on New Year's Eve isn't helping.

Anyway, happy new year to everyone and good luck on your bitcoin endeavors!

Actually I think that is the main point... Problems, crisis, climate changes and conflicts have always been present in a global level every years, but we tend to over-absorb all these negative news when we are in a bad mood and discontented with our own lives, especially during Christmas and New Year, when it should be the happiest moment of the year, to be shared with people we love reciprocally.

Anyway, happy new year to everyone and good luck on your bitcoin endeavors!
Happy New Year to you as well! That 2023 may be different in a personal level, because the problems of the world aren't solvable!

I don’t reckon with what you just said, let’s be truthful 2020 was was than 2021, 2020 saw the peak of the covid 19 virus and saw the shut down of countries personally it was my first time of ever witnessing, a total and complete shutdown of countries.

The fact remains that 2020 was worse that the recents year we have had after it and even before it. Also in crypto-Currency we saw an all Time high in bitcoin and so many other coins.

I can't blame you if that's how you feel after those days of having a lockdown and trying to survive with the pandemic then here we are today isn't done with the previous problem yet lifted a little to help with ease.

But the truth is we aren't actually done with the covid it's just that the world needs help with the people because if they continue to lockdown every door to every country there's a big aftereffects of the economy that's why they needed to reopen.

And now, here we are, we didn't expect this recession to happen but it suddenly hit the entire market and it feels like it's getting worse but we should still be grateful after all of what happened to the others in the past we are still alive and continue to make a living.

Luckily we got our new nuclear power plant working in Finland so elecricity is getting cheaper in here. But i have to admit. Since 2018 every year seems to have topped each other on how crappy they are. When you finally think that this can't get any worse you get global epidemic, war, possible recession. Now i am in disbelief figuring out that how this could get any worse and not counting out the nuclear winter anymore. Then again we were riding high and in terms of TA recession was needed for correction. And it needs heavy fundamental reasons to move the markets. Now when that's happened, we can get back up soon?

You're not wrong when you say that each passing year is worse than the previous one, but you're not wholly correct either.

It depends on which metrics and standards you're comparing from the passing year and the previous year. While it's a given that the economic conditions will continue to worsen as we enter a new year, there are also some aspects that may get better, such as technology, our knowledge in a lot of things, etc.

But yeah, generally each passing year beats the previous one in a pretty negative way. 2022 was worse than 2021, especially the prices of a lot of food and necessity. Heck, a lot of middle-class families I know opted to just do a drive thru and ordered some food instead of cooking their own in New Year's Eve, which is pretty telling of how expensive it is to cook your own food as of the moment when you're trying to celebrate for an occasion. Hopefully 2023 turns this around, although with what 2022 left behind, I doubt we're in a position to really overcome what we've just went through that easily. Russia-Ukraine war is still raging, prices keep on soaring, and a lot of uncertainty in the public regarding their futures is looming.

Anyway, here's to hoping for a better 2023. Happy New Year everyone!

I feel what you mean and I would like to share a small experience I had.
I was going through a bad time, because the economical crisis here in my own country, a teacher noticed it and told me that in nature and society it is normal for civilization to go through cycles of prosperity and scarcity, it has happened in the past and I will continue to happen, we just need to learn to face it and be as happy as possible in the mean time.

Unfortunately I think COVID is responsible for a lot of the economic turmoil that's happened over the last year more so than the war is responsible. Even though COVID itself ended in 2021, the amount of money countries spent to keep their economies alive while young, able-bodied workers were not allowed to work will have impacted the global economy for years.

The war is partly responsible for the energy price hikes, but just about everything else has at least some trace back to the COVID hysteria where trillions were wiped from the global economy because the government found it prudent to keep people locked in their homes and disallowed them from working. Doesn't seem like it was worth it.

I had a similar thought a week or two ago and determined that intelligence and/or experience can add intensity to how we think and what our biases are. If you're thinking now is a bad time because of fuel prices or the Russian invasion, you probably weren't around for the last time something similar happened or it wasn't as documented as what's currently happening is (you didn't have as many facts and couldn't derive as many conclusions from it).

It's like the difference between watching a film as a kid and thinking "that had a really happy ending" to watching it as an adult and thinking "that hasn't ended at all there's going to be a lot more to that story" or "that didn't end how I wanted it to, it's happy if you just focus on the ending as a static image, but if you try to imagine the next few hours, days or weeks, it won't be so happy".

I made a topic on here a few years ago about whether it was worth getting a higher income from a more intensive job than the one I had at the time and a lot of the responses were "no" because expenses often rise to match incomes - I think this applicable to these world stories too. The results of what you expect are being constantly diminished so your going to start to expect less in the hopes it keeps you sane (it might be best to find the best, the neutral and the worst outcomes from situations and try to accept those in advance before they happen).

Because the Russian sanctions, food shortage, inflation and new dangerous variant of covid e.g. BF.7 make it worst, this is why many people speculating 2023 we will suffer economy recession. But it's not a time to complaint, as long as you have enough money, you can invest to Bitcoin or any other asset that is cheap and has a good potential in the future. There's still no official announcement between Putin and Zelenskyy to end their wars, if it's already end, I will predict everything will be fine in the next few years.

Well, it's not the first time I've had this discussion. If you look at it from one year to the next, you might have that impression, but if you look at 30 years ago, where there was hardly any internet use, no cell phones, or 100 years ago where the world had just come out of one world war, was heading for another and global hunger and malnutrition was much more common, you will realize that we are doing better, much better. If you happen to look at what was happening 1,000 years ago, you might faint from shock.

In the end, much of the blame for this lies with the market economy, letting people get rich if they produce useful goods and services for the rest of the people, which is something that pessimistic ideologies about the trajectory of humanity do not usually like.

For this very purpose there are giant organisation working around the clock to fight the climate change. With the obvious names ahead we have rich peeps behind these. We have rich governments working and contributing to the anti climate change strategies.

Now it’s not up to the hands of few peeps around the world but it’s really individual responsibility. If you are born here then you have to act like intelligent species and not to blow off the planet with crap.

In the view of this, read out following articles which describes 36 different organisations which are working towards this goal to make the earth better place to live and prosper.

Contributing author: Allison Reser

Climate change continues to increase the rate of extreme weather events, disrupt ecosystems, and cause sea levels to rise, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

The recent United in Science report compiled by the United Nations estimates that in April, daily global fossil carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions dropped by 17 percent as a result of national lockdowns and confinement due to COVID-19. But by June, daily CO2 emissions rebounded to within five percent of pre-pandemic levels.

The United Nations deems climate change the defining crisis of our times and according to the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication, 54 percent of adults in the United States are alarmed or concerned about climate change.

“Whatever scale, people want to address this, they want to do something, they want to feel empowered, they want to feel effective, and the best way to do that is to get together and share what everyone knows,” environmental activist and founder of Project Drawdown Paul Hawken tells Food Tank.

Fortunately, there are hundreds of organizations around the globe who are working collaboratively and inclusively to find solutions. By engaging eaters, community activists, policymakers, artists, families, and more, they are helping people step up and, hopefully, save the planet. Food Tank is excited to highlight a snapshot of exciting organizations working to solve the climate crisis.

Hey relax, we get, the inflation, and other economic woes, but it is not as bad as you have painted. 2020 was the worse year the world had ever experienced. Everyone was restricted to just one location. Do you know how tough it was economically then for countries, people with families to feed and single individuals? Despite the inflation, the volatile energy and oil prices and climate change, I firmly believe that the world is at a better stage than it was previously.

This happenings in our world reminds me of Darwins Theory of natural selection. The infamous survival of the fittest theory. It seems our society is now doing the selection by throwing us all this adverse or harsh realities to life to see how we would respond.

Of course there is a carrying capacity for the world and with the explosive population, these could be some means to control population but, it gets bad when humans we humans directly become direct instruments to this selections. In the sense of creating viruses and wagging wars.
Isn't it surprising that, a deadly virus did hit our world and it starts from some of the world's most populated nation!

We could have better if we don't leave our peace to the hands of leaders.

I didn't find anyone here who is not upset due to ongoing inflation. This is getting worse - if we don't hold our expenses and do not put a pause to the window shopping habit. It is hard - but then its very important as well.

That the world economy needs to reflect again on the Covid-19 pandemic, the global recession due to the unpredictable Covid-19 pandemic yesterday, the possibility that the next global recession will occur again. I don't know if it's because of another pandemic that hasn't been 100% cured or will happen
again or as a result of the Russo-Ukrainian war, or whatever.
but the implications are many, and Russia's and Ukraine's own geopolitical issues could seep in everywhere when the global chess pieces come into play. NATO's economic policies have the potential to change course, trade embargoes and protectionism can be imposed, energy scarcity can hit the world, and many more.
and as long as this global pawn acts as a movement agent, of course the impact will also have an impact on the global. And many problems that are happening in the world, including the Covid-19 pandemic, in my opinion, have not been 100% resolved. And also the Russian-Ukrainian war which I think is very prominent news and resulted in soaring inflation in various countries.

There was a war on Afghanistan and the exit of USA has brought very bad impact on south Asian countries.The end of Afghan - USA was after 20 years was a disaster.  And then there was COVID and then another war thanks to all the war lord who are making our lives miserable. We are not dead but we are neither alive.

I know what you're talking about OP, but if I had to guess I'd say that you're probably under 35 years of age or so.  For younger people it probably does seem like the sky is falling and the world is going to end, but there have been times in history much, much worse than what we're living through now.  Hell, there are even parts of the world where a living hell is the norm and things like COVID aren't even a blip on people's radar.

Yeah, stuff's been bad since at least 2020 when the pandemic hit (or maybe when Trump was elected, I'm not sure), but it's going to get better.  Everything goes through periods of ups and downs, and we just happen to be in a years-long down period. 

That's me trying to remain optimistic.  However, should I sense that an apocalypse is imminent, I've got a noose and rafter all set up with an OD cocktail to take the edge off.  Lol.  Happy new year!!!

Honestly, optimistic according to what @Sceptical Chymist noted is something one would need in times like this but let's face reality, no year has been better than the last. Compare food prices and you'd see.

 Where I come from, the year 2020 was regarded as the worst since we had to battle with COVID-19 in the first half of the year and massive protests which affected lives and properties in the second. I've just learnt to take life as I see it, not really expecting much.

It's been quite a worrying year not only in terms of the crypto market but what is more transparent is the economy as a whole. Here we are dominated by holders of crypto assets and we all know how the storm has been through during the covid 19 pandemic. Now 2023 is still quite early and the impact of inflation in 2022 will continue in this new year. In addition to anticipating and learning how we manage finances very carefully. Reducing unnecessary purchases and continuing to invest in trusted assets while still preparing an emergency fund. The global economic war between major countries has a significant impact on all financial sectors.
