We are almost at the end of 2022. The market is a bit stable at a time when Bitcoin is supposed to be in an uptrend. There are various logical reasons for this. War and inflation in particular have been the biggest obstacles. Crypto analysts feel that the coming year is going to be a challenging year for crypto. Where economic recession has to be fought. In that direction, the market is likely to go down further.
I agree that it's not as simple as people make it out to be, I am not saying that it is an easy thing or a difficult thing and what not, but it is certainly something that is not as easy as "there was war" because there are a lot of details of that war, and it's not as simple as "there was inflation" neither because of details.
USA got into Afghanistan and out and nobody really cared, that wasn't the war people cared, this is a war where west vs Russia happened again, and that's a big deal, that detail is important, we had inflation but many people failed to work for months, and failed to pay stuff without help from printing trillions, so it's not just that simple.
