The decline in crypto started a few months ago but is happening slowly.
The decline in crypto or we entered bear season exactly from the end of last year, not just the beginning of a few months ago.
And it turns out that the situation worsened after the bitcoin price dropped drastically from $21k to $16k at yesterday's low.
If comparing bitcoin falling from 69k ATH to 20k, in my opinion that is actually much worse, dropping from 20k to 16k would be nothing.
And there is a possibility that this situation will continue but that does not eliminate our patience to keep waiting for the market to reverse direction. Maybe next year will be our best year again to see the market start to reverse direction or even 2 more years. And the best we can do is to stay in this difficult situation because all of this will surely end and we will all be smiling happily because we can get big profits again.
I also have the same opinion as OP, the demise of FTX is not simply the death of FTX or alameda, but it will lead to hundreds of projects they invest in or companies they borrow as collateral. Crashes won't happen now, they will happen gradually and will drag the market down more.
