Latest numbers don’t lie, even if the market pundits try to spin them like they’re selling rotten fish at the market. Back in mid-May this thing dropped like a sack of wet grain down to 700,000 daily payments, looked like it was ready to be tossed in the scrap heap. But now?

Turns out this ledger’s got more grit than half the “experts” yelling about imminent market crashes on Twitter while they eat instant noodles for dinner.

Our dear little coin has slid a tidy 2.6% over the past week-yes, the kind of slide that makes you wonder if the universe is just playing a cosmic joke on us. Overall, it’s had a roughly 9% decline over two weeks, 8% over a month, and a jaw‑dropping 42% over the past year. That’s a lot of dropping: if you’re renting a roof, you might want to consider a more stable investment.
