★10/24 [Seto Complete] 45th Luxury Watch Trends 2025 | Cryptocurrency Crash and the Security of “Real Assets”

October 11th. The moment I woke up and opened my smartphone, I couldn't believe my eyes. The chart was bright red. It was like a sea of ​​blood.

"Huh? Something else happened?" I opened the news and there was this line:

"Trump announces 100% tariffs on Chinese products."

At that moment, the world was turned upside down. Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple... Major virtual currencies all went from weak to crashing. The bullish market that had been going strong until the previous day collapsed overnight.

Half of their assets were lost in an instant. Social media was flooded with cries of dismay.

"They said it would go up in October!" "It's the return of the FTX shock..." X (formerly Twitter) was flooded with such posts. What's more, some people even rumored that "there was an investor who had set up a short position one minute before the announcement." Human emotions cannot keep up with the speed of this world.

I also had a small amount of cryptocurrency, but when I checked in the morning, it was down 30%. To be honest, I could only laugh.

"I wasn't using leverage" - that's the only saving grace

However, there is one thing that I am relieved about: I did not use leverage.

If I had dreamed of "10x," I would have been forced to exit the market by now due to a stop loss. I truly want to praise myself for not pressing that tempting button. The feeling of the numbers going to zero is truly frightening. Just the number on the screen disappearing in an instant makes me feel like my soul is being sucked away.

The actual item is right there

As I was staring at the chart of the crash, I suddenly thought, "Spot" is strong after all.

Whether it's a watch, gold, or real estate, even if the price drops, it's still there when you pick it up. No matter how much the numbers on the screen move, the item itself will never disappear.

In my case, it was a wristwatch. Looking at the Rolex on my wrist, I thought, "This weight, this presence, this is definitely an asset."

Even if the value fluctuates, things don't lie

Of course, the market price of watches goes up and down. But it never drops to zero. If it breaks, it can be repaired, and it develops character over time.

Unlike virtual currencies or stocks, they will not crash because of someone's tweet. "Things" do not lie. That is the strength of real assets.

My thoughts on the morning of the Trump tariff shock

On the morning of October 11th, while I was drinking coffee and looking at the charts, I felt this again.

"After all, real things are powerful."

The peace of mind of owning tangible assets, not just numbers. And the ability to retain value over the years. Luxury watches have always symbolized this. That is why we continue to cherish the value of things today.
