For the last 3 years, I’ve been deeply involved in crypto and trading. 2025 was a great year for the markets, and seeing the growth, some of my friends and family members asked me for advice. I told them to invest in crypto.

Now the market is down. Their portfolios are in loss.

And they keep asking me: “When will it go up?” “What should we do?”

I honestly don’t know how to handle this pressure.

I feel guilty. I feel responsible. I keep giving them hope like “maybe next month,”
