If someone had told me at the beginning of 2024 that BTC would face such liquidity difficulties, my reaction would probably be—doubtful. But reality is often more complicated. Over the past year, we have witnessed rapid changes in the liquidity landscape of the crypto market. BTC's trading depth and order book thickness are undergoing unprecedented tests. The once taken-for-granted assumption of high liquidity has been shattered one by one during extreme market volatility. This is not an intelligence issue, but rather the market itself teaching us to re-understand asset characteristics. Sometimes, admitting a misjudgment is the clearest market attitude.

Liquidity... to put it simply, we all take it for granted too much, and when it really matters, the order book is as thin as paper.

Liquidity, to put it simply, is still a false proposition; the real black swan is always in the place you can't see.

Haha, I was thinking the same at the beginning of the year. Now being slapped in the face by the market still hurts quite a bit. Laughing and crying.

Liquidity crisis should have been prevented long ago. What's the use of regretting now... Really, prediction errors are nothing to be ashamed of; refusing to admit mistakes is the real shame.

Liquidity has indeed been proven wrong; who would have thought before... Now it's only now realized that BTC isn't as stable as imagined.
