Just went back and checked the bitcoin price in 2018 - man, that year was brutal. BTC dropped over 70% and basically had its worst year ever. Started the year around 10k and by December it was barely holding above 3.5k. Still remember the FOMO from 2017 followed by the complete capitulation. That crash wiped out so many people's portfolios. Crazy how the market went from 'moon' to 'doom' so fast. The bitcoin price in 2018 really showed how volatile crypto can get. But looking back, that was actually a good accumulation period for those who held through it. Wild times.
