Last cycle, the "safe" tier of crypto - large caps - handed out returns that ranged 10x apart.
Same market, but wildly different outcomes. That gap is the opportunity.
And the next cycle is still in front of all of us.
So let's have a look at some realistic numbers:
SOL ~1,180%. The high-beta major. Roughly 12x off a realistic entry. The FTX crash made the gains especially juicy, but still expecting Solana to outperform Ethereum again next cycle.
DOGE ~706%. The meme exposure everybody should have in their portfolio. ~7x. Easy play.
BTC ~440%. The anchor. ~5.4x with the lowest odds of going to zero of anything on this list.
LTC ~165%. With only a 2.6x, Litecoin disappointed many believers.
A 1,000% range inside the "large cap" category.
So here's the plan for next cycle. Three majors, each with a job:
BTC: Security and survival.
SOL: The major that actually outruns ETH's 2-3x.
DOGE: The meme exposure.
Trade and profit small-caps aggressively and roll the profits into these large-caps during dips.
