Reflecting on Ripple's Price Cycles and Emotional Impact Over the Years

I managed to acquire another thousand Ripples at the price of $0.3 back on December 12, 2017, just before my military service ended. During the New Year at HIBIN (a ski resort), I was snowboarding and casually watching the chart, noticing the Ripple price reaching three dollars, which was quite satisfying. Seven years later, I observe the same pattern happening again, but my feelings are somewhat different now. The excitement and the context have changed over the years, but the chart patterns and price movements remind me of those earlier times. Looking back, the experience of buying Ripple at lower levels and watching its price rise to three dollars was thrilling at that time. The context of that period was characterized by a bullish sentiment in the crypto market, and Ripple was gaining popularity. Now, years later, the charts show similar patterns, but the emotional and market conditions have evolved. This serves as a reminder of how crypto market cycles can repeat, yet each cycle feels different due to external factors and personal perspective.
