Bitcoin Sudden Selloff Reveals Three Timeless Rules Many Investors Forget

Bitcoin just recorded its steepest selloff in three years.

Even some of crypto’s most outspoken champions are struggling to explain what triggered the selloff.

I’m amused by Bitcoin’s meteoric rise and plunge. Aren’t you?

In 2018, bitcoin fell 80% off a cliff.

The latest roller coaster?

A 45% plunge in four months, from October 2025 to February 6, 2026.

There was no single trigger.

Just a familiar selloff. Crowded trades. Leverage. Price over understanding.

Manias change. Maniac behavior does not.

As Stevie Nicks sang, “The sea changes color, but the sea does not change.”

It seems that the less investors understand about a mania’s object, the more obsessed they are to own it at any price.

Not a wise plan.

How to Hope in the Middle of Any Crisis

Did you ever think hope could vanish as meaning itself grows thin?

Across cultures and countries, many people sense it.

  • Progress without purpose.
  • Motion without direction.

Life keeps moving, but fewer know why.

That’s why TV channels and streaming platforms replay epic stories again and again.

Stories like The Lord of the Rings.

Frodo Baggins and his companions live day and night in loss, pain, and darkness.

Tolkien enthusiasts adopted the catchphrase “Frodo Lives” to express hope in dark times.

God filled hope

For anyone in despair, three reminders can light up a dismal season.

The Beauty of Perseverance: A 104-Year-Old Veteran’s Anthem of Strength

There are moments in life that remind us what perseverance really means.

One of those moments came not long ago at a New York Islanders hockey game. The crowd was buzzing. Cameras rolling. Then, from the tunnel, came 104-year-old World War II veteran Dominick Critelli.

He lifted his soprano saxophone and began to play the national anthem.
