Yesterday I was in a taxi, on my way to Christmas dinner, casually scrolling X.
I wasn’t even looking for content.
And then I saw this guy.
Absolutely convinced he cracked the code.
His thesis?
“Nobody wants crypto anymore.
The old crypto crowd moved to prediction markets and stocks.
Crypto is dead.
Nobody will ever come back.”
And I’m reading this thinking:
You have to be completely sleepwalking through life to believe this, but the real comedy is thinking it’s an intelligent take.
Let me ask you something.
In 2021, during the biggest crypto bull run ever (in terms of global adoption)… why do you think everyone suddenly loved crypto?
Was it the tech?
The philosophy?
The decentralized utopia?
Or was it simply because everything was going up like crazy and people dreamed of becoming millionaire instantly?
Be honest.
Do you think people were buying NFTs because they believed in the “future of digital art”?
Or because you could buy any random JPEG and 10x your net worth in two days?
Exactly.
It’s always the same story:
Greed.
Speculation.
Easy money.
Nothing else.
Now fast-forward to today.
Crypto PA has been nuked for 2–3 years.
95% of the magic internet coins look completely dead.
No easy money.
No cheap dopamine.
So what happens?
People get bored.
People get tired.
People leave.
They chase stocks at all-time highs.
They chase prediction markets.
They chase metals.
They chase whatever just pumped.
Which is… normal behavior for (allow me the technicism) retards.
Because when money isn’t easy anymore, the majority can’t think beyond the next candle.
Meanwhile, behind the scenes:
Adoption keeps growing.
Infrastructure keeps improving.
Institutions keep positioning.
But retail doesn’t care about that.
Retail only cares after the chart goes vertical.
Same with stocks.
Same with gold.
Gold was “boring” when you could buy it for a third of today’s price.
Now it’s at highs and suddenly it’s:
“Financial freedom.
Safe haven.
Smart money.”
No, you’re just late to the party.
You’re not investing.
You’re chasing pumps.
And guess where you can still position before real liquidity comes and the upside actually happens?
Yes.
Magic internet money industry.
So all these people screaming “crypto is dead” at the bottom?
They have zero understanding of capital rotation.
Zero understanding of macro & liquidity cycles.
Zero understanding of how money actually moves.
To conclude this quick Xmas rent:
If you want to sell your crypto here to chase stocks or precious metals after the monstrous uptrends they already had, it’s your call.
But, in a few months from now, there is a high chance you will regret this decision.
So, before letting idiots on X convince you to abandon the most undervalued industry in this time in history, maybe (just maybe) do some research on what crypto can become in the next 5/10 years.
Look at the mega-trend behind it.
That’s all.
Wish you all a wonderful Christmas.
“If I put $10,000 in BNB in 2017 I’d have $60M now.”
No.
If you bought $10,000 of $BNB in 2017 and watched it go to:
$10k → $790K → $1.15M
and did nothing
Then watched $1.15M go to $260k
and still did nothing
Then watched $260k go to $2.66M
and still did nothing
Then watched $2.66M wither to $433K
and still did nothing
Then watched $433K surge to $45M
and still did nothing
Then watched $45M deteriorate to $14.8M
Then watched $14.8M climb to $46.6M
and still did nothing
Then watched $46.6M shrink to $13.3M
and still did nothing
Then watched $13.3M surge to $60M
and then for some reason finally decided to do something…
Then yes, $10K in 2017 would be worth $60M today.

The amount of people telling me alt coins might never happen.
A) True
B) Find me any 30x potential return investment that is "sure to happen". The gains COME from the risk.
C) Your actually insane if you think ETH never surpasses $6,000 and drags alts with it.
Conclusion : While there is of course un-certainty in alts future, this is why the gains are so potentially huge.
If you want a 30-50x payout investment...YOU HAVE TO TAKE A RISK.
Flip side : I don't see anything more clear or likely to happen than ETH/defi taking over the finance world. Its EXTREMELY unlikely this alts do not go up with it.
If you are demanding 30-50x gains while also demanding a cozy safe certain bet...You are actually retarded.
You can GUARANTEED make money investing in Bitcoin right now and holding. But it will be 20-50% gains tops because its a "certain" bet.
There's nothing wrong with alts. There is something incredibly wrong with your perception on the level of risk and uncertainty you must take on in order to get crazy gains.
While alts are "uncertain" I have never seen a more likely investment to explode due to how undervalued they are comboed with the near guarante ETH/defi is going mainstream.
Do what you will. Just stop being a fucking baby who demands safety AND explosive return potential in a single trade.
I am pretty sure no one in crypto Twitter even understands what this is, here is a short explainer.
GTreasury provides software that enables mainly large, multinational corporations handle payments, liquidity, cash flow etc.
The software links into banking and payment systems such as SWIFT, and is ISO20022 compliant.
So this acquisition along with Hidden Roads and Standard Custody and Trust, allows Ripple to introduce digital assets into the $100T Treasury market.
Ripple doesn't need to "sell" XRP to the big corporates, that is just part of the plumbing. The SaaS and UI doesn't change, it just means Ripple progressively rolls out faster, more efficient rails.
That's the game.
⚠️ WHEN XRP MOVES 🤩
The breakout is coming sooner than you think..
🚨 $XRP has been trading sideways for 75 days in a Triangle, the range is getting tighter. A breakout above $3.05 can trigger a rally to the key $3.65 level 🚀
XRP always rewards the patient.. 🧘🏻
