Hello Project HOPE friends, I hope you are all doing well. I want to share an opinion on something that I see usually happens when Bitcoin starts to rise like it is doing now.
When the price of Bitcoin begins to rise, a kind of fever is activated in the crypto environment. Many see the news about its rise, hear stories of people who have supposedly made fortunes in a short time, and the enthusiasm to participate in the market becomes unstoppable.
This reaction is not new; It is part of a repetitive cycle in the world of cryptocurrencies, where excitement and the “fear of being left out” (FUD) lead a rush of people to invest quickly. However, it is important to remember that the reality for most is not as simple as buying and becoming a millionaire overnight.

Many new investors are looking for alternative currencies, also known as altcoins, which promise an even greater price explosion than Bitcoin, especially memecoins. Crypto project creators often promise breakthrough innovations or stratospheric future returns, and these promises, coupled with the potential for high profits, can make investing in cryptocurrencies irresistible. However, not all of these projects are genuine, and many of them result in losses when the initial enthusiasm wears off, I have particularly fallen for some of these.
While it is true that some people have been lucky enough to invest in the right cryptocurrency at the right time and make significant profits, these cases are the exception rather than the rule. Market volatility is so high that the same currencies that can multiply in value one day can plummet without warning the next.
Furthermore, one of the particularities of the crypto market is that, being so young and largely unregulated, it is especially vulnerable to fraud and manipulations that can harm investors, especially the less experienced ones.

Before investing in any cryptocurrency, it is necessary for people to do extensive research and understand the real risks of the market. It's not just about riding the wave when Bitcoin soars, but about having a long-term vision, with realistic expectations and a solid strategy.
Entering the crypto market without financial education and without a clear strategy is like jumping into the sea without knowing how to swim; it is very likely that the losses will exceed the gains.
It is a reality that Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies offer interesting investment opportunities, but they must be approached with responsibility and caution, unfortunately this is not what happens to the majority, and they end up losing a lot of money, surely you know stories of these or, even worse, they have lived them.

Hello @josevas217, certainly to invest in cryptos it is important to perform an analysis or diagnosis of the project that looks more sustainable, because without a doubt to win you have to take risks but in projects that look good.
Right now with bitcoin at $92,000, many people are going to start buying, thinking in the short term, but a better investment would have been if they had the opportunity to buy when it was at $18,000.
See you later, have a great week.
