People forget how 2021 actually started.
I don’t. I was there. And it was brutal to catch.
I’m seeing the same setup right now.
Remember when BTC hit $65K in 2021? Everyone was screaming “top is in, altszn next.”
Retail was all-in on altcoins. I was too.
Then BTC nuked 50%+ to $29K.
No warning. No explanation. Alts got vaporized. My portfolio was down 80%.
Twitter called crypto dead. Retail rage-quit. Pure fear.
After that? Nothing.
BTC chopped sideways for months. Every green candle was a bull trap. No one trusted the market.
Then it started creeping up. Quietly. No influencers. No hype.
Funding went from euphoric to flat to negative. Shorting felt smart. No one was buying.
That’s when it ran.
Retail was still scarred. They sat out the whole first leg.
Then ETH ripped. Narratives caught fire. Alts went parabolic.
Only then did retail come back. Too late. The real money was already made.
Fast forward to now.
BTC taps $125K and we all think “okay, ETH’s turn.”
Alts looked cheap. We loaded up. Obvious trade.
Then BTC dumps 50% again.
“This time is different” broke. ETFs didn’t save us. Institutions didn’t save us.
Alts got smoked worse. Retail left, burned again.
Now? Every bounce gets shorted. Funding is deep red.
And BTC is climbing again. Slow. Boring. No one believes it.
Retail is done. Confidence is zero.
But institutions are buying. Silently.
Everyone thinks the bull market is over.
I think it’s just starting.
And that’s the dangerous part.
The bull run is coming.
But most people will miss it… again.
Because they’re waiting for the feeling they had in 2021.
That feeling doesn’t come back. The money does.
