After a year, we finally have the results. Let’s see whether the sentiment was right or not: 1. The cycle top is in ❌ 2. The four-year cycle no longer exists ❌ 3. This is a traders’ market, only they make money. Being a holder no longer makes sense ✅ 4. ETH won’t reach a new ATH in 2025 ❌ 5. A Trump presidency and crypto reforms are already priced in ❌ 6. NFTs still haven’t found their bottom ❌ 7. A broad alt season is a thing of the past, only niche sectors will see small pumps lasting a couple of weeks at most ✅ 8. The AI meta is officially dead ❌ 9. Ordinals are completely dead ✅ 10. Bitcoin is going to outperform every other crypto ❌ 11. This time is different❌ Out of 11 predictions, only 3 actually played out. Going against the prevailing sentiment almost always pays off. Of the correct predictions, two were about a structural shift in the market. This cycle has been dominated by short-lived, niche profit opportunities, and at this point, aside from perhaps BTC and ETH, it’s very likely that this environment will persist for the next few years.
