An unusual Christmas wish: Waiting for a dip with hope in my heart

Merry Christmas!

Christmas is often wrapped in familiar wishes, such as time with family, good food, laughter, rest, and gratitude for the year that’s ending. But this year, my Christmas wish feels a little unusual. It’s not about gifts under the tree or elaborate celebrations. It is simple, and very specific: I wish I had some spare bucks, say $1,000, and that the crypto market experiences a short-term dip so I can scoop up some cheaper $BTC, $HIVE, and $LEO.

At first glance, that might sound overly technical or even strange for a day associated with carols and candles. But for me, it represents something deeper than charts and tokens. It reflects how my thinking about value, timing, and opportunity has evolved.

Christmas has always been a season of reflection. It forces you to pause and look back at the year, what you learned, what you lost, what you gained, and what you still hope for. In that spirit, my wish is not rooted in greed or impatience. It is rooted in readiness. Over time, I’ve learned that markets, like life, move in cycles. There are highs that test your discipline and lows that test your courage. The dip I’m wishing for is not a crash, but a window where opportunity disguises itself as fear.

Bitcoin, for me, represents conviction. It is the long game, the belief in scarcity, resilience, and staying power. $HIVE feels like community and participation, and a reminder that value can be created and shared through consistency and contribution. And $LEO represents growth within an ecosystem, where engagement, creativity, and ownership intersect. Wanting to buy these assets at a discount is to help me align my resources with belief.

The $1,000 wish is symbolic too. It’s not an extravagant sum, but it’s meaningful. It represents intentional capital, not for impulse, but for purpose. In a world where spending often comes first and thinking comes later, this wish flips the order. Think first. Prepare. Then act when the moment presents itself.

There is also something very Christmas-like about hoping for a dip. The Christmas story itself is about value appearing in unexpected places, and greatness wrapped in humility, power revealed through simplicity. In the same way, market dips often reveal opportunities that weren’t obvious during the excitement of a rally. They reward patience, not noise.

So yes, this Christmas, while others unwrap boxes, I’m unwrapping perspective. I’m grateful for the lessons the year has taught me about discipline, long-term thinking, and the importance of staying prepared even when nothing seems to be happening. If the spare bucks come and the dip follows, I’ll be ready. If not, the mindset remains, and that, in itself, is a gift.

Sometimes, the most unusual Christmas wishes are simply signs of growth.
