Watching Bitcoin drop from $124k to $108k reminds me that volatility in both Bitcoin and life comes from the same source: emotional reactions and external pressures creating wild swings.

Bitcoin becomes less volatile as it gains institutional backing, higher market cap, and real utility that anchors its value beyond pure speculation. Similarly, we reduce life’s emotional volatility by building multiple sources of stability like strong relationships, valuable skills, and clear purpose that ground us when external circumstances fluctuate.

Both Bitcoin and personal well being stabilize when they shift from being driven by outside forces to being rooted in genuine, fundamental value.
