As Bitcoin’s market cap grows, each bull run sees smaller percentage gains and a slower upward trajectory. The parabolic pumps of past cycles might be a thing of the past. Corrections during each bear market are also getting milder—people are valuing their BTC more, and I expect this cycle’s drawdown to be less severe than the last. With more institutional players entering the game, expect increased volatility and more prolonged consolidations. This will test your patience, mess with your conviction, and tempt you into making mistakes. Honestly, for most retail investors, the best strategy in crypto is still simple: buy Bitcoin when it’s relatively low, hold through the cycle, and sell near the top. This approach almost guarantees profits and will outperform 90% of market participants. Sure, there are other ways to make money here, but they’re not for everyone. In crypto, everyone has an equal shot at making it—it’s just that most people get distracted by FOMO, lack conviction, skip the research, or fail to really understand the market. That’s all there is to it. #btc
