Dear crypto participants
I know all seems fucked and and maybe your down bad this cycle
But let me just ease your mind
A little exp of mine this cycle and how to use it
1. Start the cycle early with BTC
I know I know.. BTC is boring and is delivering shit gains.. right?
No man, wrong, that is your shitcoin dealer/scam influencer telling you that and you need to hold alts to outperform
But remember: if BTC doesn’t pump, NOTHING pumps!
So next cycle be early BTC (and maybe some ETH) - I did it back in December 2022 with 80% of my cash
2. Don’t rush to buy alts!!
Rotation happens slowly, some of the alts will pump with BTC, but the majority won’t!!
You still would be better with BTC remaining the major after 2-3x the price - I’m telling you from experience - some alts would pop, some narratives would catch up like memes, you would feel stupid for not catching those, and then you would try to catch up and ignore 2.
3. Respect your positioning!!
BTC should remain the major for at least 2 years after bear lows
That means 50-80% of your portfolio
Use 20-30% to choose 2-3 large caps with chart history, not new shinny stuff that you don’t know anything about - but remember not to rush! This should happen 6-12 months after bear lows
Most important: use not more than 10-15% on low/mid caps, new shinny things, memes, speculation
Whatever shitty project in this category does 100x (which you won’t ever know), it brings your 10% to 20-30% - THEN YOU TRIM IT DOWN to 10-15% again
Happened for me, this is the way to do 100x, not with 80% of your portfolio!!!
Not all projects would do great stuff, but this formula is guaranteed to not lose you money - which is key in markets in general
One of my big alts went -50% extra while others like CRV LINK JASMY VELO etc went 5-10-15x - which exploded my second position after BTC - THEN I TRIMMED IT cause it was messing my positioning again
This is how to respect your positioning
Now, in the final year of the bull, I am 40% BTC and 60% ALTS (big alts, not your favorite shinny meme) - this is my crypto positioning
But my general positioning is also composed of being 20% in cash and growing that cash into start of 2026
Sold 80-90% of my stocks, mostly BTC miners, already, that was a different play. After seeing 15-25-50x you have no business remaining in that position
But again, I am respecting my positioning and you can see that I lean heavier this year on some alts (if you watch my YT channel you already know)
4. You made mistakes?
I also made them back in last cycle, and if you wanna repair them, you can only do it from next cycle - I’M TELLING YOU FROM EXPERIENCE
You could try right to do it now, but that means you have no plan, you keep adding to losers, keep trying to make all back with leverage, basically doing all the mistakes you can while you don’t get anywhere
So better prepare for next cycle, use this 1-2-3 formula, and that is how you repair what you did this cycle! What you have right now you just leave it to fate, and you prepare for what comes next
Market is forward looking, you should be too. Look only thru the rearview mirror to see and not repeat past mistakes
Re-read this post and always remember!
I’m cheering for you🫡
So basically no bull market or bear market goes all up or all down
Right now If you observe the funding rates are negative
Open interest flushed and spot pumping
Now before the next big move they need to create an illusion that this was a shakeout
Bring back open interest. Funding etc
So you'll see a bit of ranging before the next big move
Back in nov- Dec 2024. Very similar
Whales aren't accumulating here.. The only thing that they are trying to do is to distribute their bags at the highest sell orders
I got you @GrindeOptions
Yo, dude! 😎 Let’s talk about why Bitcoin is selling off like it’s a wild roller coaster 🎢 dropping fast! 🤯 Imagine Bitcoin is a super awesome trading card, like a shiny Charizard 🔥, and everyone’s been trading it like crazy. Right now, in August 2025, the price is dipping 📉, and here’s why:
1. **Party’s Over, Time to Cash In! 🎉** Bitcoin’s price shot up to a crazy high, like over $124,000! 🚀 When it gets *that* high, some people sell their cards to grab the cash 💰. It’s like selling your rare Pokémon card to buy a new skateboard 🛹. More selling means the price drops 📅.
2. **World News Got People Shaky 😬** President Trump announced some new money rules (called tariffs 📜), and it’s making people nervous about the economy 🌍. So, they sell risky stuff like Bitcoin to play it safe 🛡️. It’s like hiding your toys when a storm’s coming ⛈️.
3. **Summer Snooze Time 😴** August is like a chill month for Bitcoin, kinda like when school’s out 🏖️. Not as many people are trading, so some sell their Bitcoin, making the price dip. It’s like everyone’s at the beach instead of swapping cards 🏄.
4. **Big Players Making Waves 🐳** Some folks with *tons* of Bitcoin (called “whales”) are selling a bit 🤑. When they do, it’s like a huge splash in a pool 🌊, shaking up the price. Plus, people who bought cheap a while ago are selling to keep their profits 💸.
5. **Money Meetings Freaking People Out 🗣️** There’s a big meeting called Jackson Hole where important money people (like the Federal Reserve 🏦) talk about stuff like interest rates 📈. If they sound strict, people sell Bitcoin to be safe. It’s like trading candy 🍬 when your parents say, “No more sugar!” 🚫
But chill, it’s not all bad! 😄 Bitcoin’s at like $113,000 now, still *way* higher than last year! 📈 Some experts think it’s just taking a quick nap 😴 and could climb back up if people start buying again. It’s like when your favorite card dips but gets hot again when a new game drops 🎮.
So, don’t stress! 😎 Bitcoin’s a wild ride, but it’s been around forever and keeps bouncing back 💪. Keep an eye on it, and maybe ask a grown-up before you trade any cards, ‘kay? 😉
