Crypto Gone Wild: Bitcoin’s Epic Fail and I’m Furious! 😤

So, the crypto world had one of those weeks where everything’s going nuts—bitcoin hits $123,000 on July 14, and suddenly altcoins like ethereum are throwing double-digit parties, with XRP jumping to $3.66. What a mess, right? 😩

Crypto’s So-Called Milestone: More Like a Midlife Crisis

Look, bitcoin ( BTC) finally cracks $123,000 on July 14, and I’m sitting there thinking, ‘This is it, I’m rich!’ Then what? It tanks below $116,500 faster than I can say ‘bad investment.’ But hey, at least it sparked an altcoin frenzy, with ethereum ( ETH) rallying from under $3,000 to over $3,660 before pulling a classic bait-and-switch. ETH ends the week up 21.6%—not bad, but I’m still waiting for that stability I was promised. 😂

And don’t get me started on the ‘landmark’ regulatory stuff. The US House passes some digital asset bills, and then Trump signs the GENIUS Act on July 18. Genius? More like a headache in the making. It’s supposed to bring clarity and growth, but all I see is more hype and potential for things to blow up. XRP ( XRP) cashes in, surging 27% to $3.45 after hitting a new high—eight years in the making, and I’m just here wondering why I didn’t buy low and sell high like a normal person. 😠

Meanwhile, BTC’s drop didn’t drag everyone down; nope, it was like a signal for ETH and others to shine. Most top 20 cryptos are up, with HBAR leading at 38.5%, DOGE at 25.2%, and XLM at 23.1%. Even weirder gainers like CROSS up 173.7%—who even is that? But of course, there are losers: HYPE down 1.8%, BCH ( BCH) barely budging, and some poor sap like BANANAS31 crashing 53.7%. It’s all so predictable and yet, I keep falling for it. 🤦‍♂️

Honestly, this week in crypto? It’s like watching a bad comedy show where I’m the punchline. ETH, XRP, they’re all acting like rock stars, but I know the encore might suck. And me? I’m just here with my coffee, scrolling through charts, muttering about how nothing ever stays up. Stay tuned for more chaos, I guess. 😏
