$NEAR remains the best bet of this cycle ✍️
(I have been super bullish on this ticker & you can see the chain of quote tweets as well)
$ZEC needs a private on-ramp. $VVV needs a private compute rail. Both keep landing on NEAR Intents.

A user tried to sell their 10,000 bitcoin in 2010.
The starting bid was $50.
They proposed sending the winner 5,000 bitcoin first, waiting for the PayPal payment, and then sending the remaining half.
One participant offered $20. Another offered $25 and suggested a lower starting price.
The seller had estimated the coins were worth about approximately $65.50 in total.
The auction ended without a qualifying bid.
They posted that the bitcoin would remain with its owner because nobody had offered the starting amount.

It’s easy to get chopped up rushing aggressively into markets like crypto the moment things start looking better.
Without a long, deep washout beforehand, major trend changes rarely happen cleanly. They take time, chop around, and punish anyone leaning too hard in either direction, bull or bear.
If you take the full bull position early you better be prepared to at least be challenged.
If you sense the trend shift coming, scaling in and accumulating on solid dips while weathering the chop puts you in a good position to stand tough and then flip fully bullish when it becomes an obvious change in trend.
