Price goes up and suddenly the ''fundamentals'' are improving How else do you think they get people to buy as it goes up 😂

BTC over Greed Look at this chart. How is it possible for some to not make money in such a move? A few simple reasons: - Greed - Fear - Being uninformed This is not a hindsight “everything was easy” analysis. This is a study of the past to learn for the future. Yes, I bought BTC at the 2022 lows. My main information sources back then, including my father-in-law telling me to stay away from crypto and BTC. But I didn’t listen. Being contrarian pays at the extremes. I allocated over 50% of my net worth into BTC. I held a little ETH (less than 5% of my portfolio) and some PEPE (not even 1%). The rest I placed into stocks. Looking back, those were the best financial decisions I’ve ever made. BTC did an 8x from the lows, while most altcoins are still hovering near their bear market lows or even lower. A few pumped hard, yes, but most retraced their entire moves every few months. Without trading skills and investing mindset, it was very hard to make consistent money in alts. During late 2023 and early 2024, I let greed creep in. I shifted some funds into altcoins. Some did well, but none outperformed my BTC holdings in the long run. If you look at BTC.D through this cycle, that makes sense. The choice cost me some performance compared to just holding BTC, but it also brought me into trading, where I found great teachers and built real skills. That price was worth paying. Next cycle, I’ll play it differently tho. From the 2022 lows, BTC gained around 660%, almost an 8x. That means every $50k invested turned into $400k. And it did so with relatively shallow drawdowns (max ~30%) compared to past cycles. If one had perfectly bought every HTF low and sold every HTF high, capital could have grown about 11.5x (+1,056%). Of course, that’s absolute perfection, unrealistic, but it makes the point. Even just holding gave you up to an 8x. Add calculated longs, some hedging shorts, and scaling into discounts along the way, and performance could have been improved without needing altcoin “lottery tickets.” And that’s the key: You don’t need to chase altcoins promising 10x+. Be honest: How many 10x plays have you actually hit? How many round-tripped your profits waiting for the mythical BCS? Even if you hit one, it was probably stressful and/or on small size. BTC delivered nearly the same performance as an 8x, as the number one, most established crypto asset. No rug risk. High liquidity. Manageable drawdowns. Does this mean it will repeat the exact same way? No. We take it level by level, staying flexible. But my number one hold around the next bear market lows will be BTC again. Even if BTC simply repeats its historical bear structure, with an around 75% retracement, and without making a new ATH but only returning to the range highs: It would still offer roughly 300% upside, all while giving you the ability to self-custody outside the banking system. The main goal now should be clear now: - Protect your capital in the coming bear. - Build cashflow to reload big on majors when the time comes. - That way, you can sit in “safe” printing positions for years, instead of chasing garbage every cycle.
