a little shocked by the amount of people agreeing with this shitpost guys 2022 was so much worse its hard to even compare, credit shops were blowing up left and right, friends were disappearing from telegram chats every day, crypto companies going ghost not operating but still exist like the walking dead, funds closing their doors, charts were a constant falling knife with cascading liquidations it wasn't only embarrassing to be in crypto people assumed you were a legit criminal if you were here to quote Haseeb "Luna collapsing, then 3AC, then FTX, then Genesis, BlockFi, Axie, NFTs--pretty much everything felt like a house of cards. And then after all that stuff collapsed, the BANKS collapsed, stablecoins depegged, Gary Gensler and the president tried to destroy almost every company in the industry" 2025 is basically alts having a small case of erectile dysfunction crypto is entrenched in the future of global finance now things are going to be ok

I have a very strong feeling of "my job here is done" after my last 50k btc buys, somehow I think the easy money paradigm in crypto is over Not saying there won't be opportunities anymore but I think of 2017-2021 as parallel to the poker boom 2007-2010 where there was such a crazy influx of new participants it was just ridiculously easy to extract money from the player pool After new money dried up and people stopped playing the space became more and more tough as average skill increased and tools became more advanced (an endless vicious cycle) The result being people are just being forced to stop playing online poker competitively and only the best of the best survive and have enough edge on the remaining player pool Basically I see this exact thing playing out in crypto and I feel right about now is the tipping point where an obvious easy money paradigm turns into a really hard market to beat, as there is consistently less new dumb capital, and consistently more professional / institutional type players entering the space Even the traders with an incredible track record of timing cycle tops and bottoms were mostly capable of it because of overlaying old cycle patterns and curve fitting charts. I think that kinda stuff will no longer be (as) useful going forward and hence my own edge will also take a massive hit
