reposting and pinning to keep myself in check
Not everyone will make it this cycle.
You need to shift your mindset and detach from the crowd.
Coinbase app ranking will not tell you when the top is in.
Start thinking differently.
“When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.”
In other words, when we set one specific goal, people will tend to optimize for that objective regardless of the consequences. This leads to ignoring other equally important factors of a situation.
Furthermore, let me tell you that most of the top signals mentioned on CT won't work this time.
What was an obvious top signal in 2017 wasn't in 2021, and the same goes for 2024-25.
We’re moving towards the right curve of the adoption rate, and now all retail knows about crypto - some heard about it in 2017, and then almost everyone heard about it in 2021.
Don't mix the signs of adoption with top signals. Don’t let the PTSD ruin your fun.
Another point to address is the shift of influence - BlackRock & Co. controls Bitcoin now.
They are the major ETF providers and own shares of each other. So, they control the sentiment around BTC now.
And they also own all the media platforms. They can literally shape the narrative as they want.
Let me re-phrase it like this:
If most of this run-up is driven by institutional bids, why would retail indicators be relevant?
The indicator for this cycle will come from the people who haven’t been onboarded yet.
Yes, It can be retail who still haven't touched crypto - "late majority" and "laggards" - but you gotta think on a bigger scale.
Sovereign Wealth Funds
Think of those countries with a sovereign wealth fund starting to diversify in $BTC. Some already invest in stocks, so it might be possible to see this scenario.
• Saudi Arabia - $400 billion
• Abu Dhabi - $800 billion
• China - $1 trillion
• Norway - $1 trillion
• Australia - $150 billion
• Qatar - $300 billion
• Singapore - $500 billion
Corporate Treasuries
We have already seen this in 2021 with Tesla purchasing $BTC and, more recently, with Reddit disclosing some of its crypto holdings.
The trend is just starting. Once you see daily headlines of companies diversifying their assets into
,it might be rational to start derisking.
Stock Market IPOs
Coinbase IPO in 2021 was the first major crypto company to be listed in the stock market. We might see this time tens of crypto companies doing their IPOs, and at some point, one listing will mark the top.
Over-Leveraging
Big hedge funds, companies, and maybe even small countries over-leveraging in the final stages of the bull run and getting rekt could be another scenario we might see this cycle.
Rehypothecation Crisis
The next Luna-type of collapse might come from the restaking sector and kickstart the bear market. It seems like everyone is overlooking the huge consequences of a depeg or slashing event in this sector.
Gold Reserves
The ultimate ultra top signal could be governments diversifying a small % of their gold reserves into Bitcoin - the "digital gold".
Some additional minor signals
Low-Income Countries Workers Shortage
Another big signal is when low-income countries will have a shortage of workers because these are making $300 to $600 a month mapping the roads with hivemapper or other DePIN projects and earning a higher salary than what they'd normally get.
Happened at a small scale last cycle with Axie and StepN. Will happen at a larger scale this cycle.
Las Vegas Sphere
Time Square was full of shit memecoins in 2021. The Las Vegas Sphere with crypto ads running on it for weeks straight will be the version of this cycle.
Funding Rounds
A pretty secure signal again will be checking the volumes of VC investments. Funding rounds skyrocketing and, maybe overpassing tradFi ones might be the indicator again to start exiting.
“The financial markets generally are unpredictable. So that one has to have different scenarios... The idea that you can actually predict what's going to happen contradicts my way of looking at the market.

Hello @Support, I writed a letter to your house to help free our @HammyCommunity page from X

Dear X Headquarters Humans,
Hello from a Sad Hamster
I write this with teary eyes and a heart full of sadness, there was a refuge on x for a large family of hamsters, "Hamily" as we affectionately call it that goes by @HammyCommunity that, as far as we can tell, was unfairly suspended. We haven't received a clear answer about the reason for the suspension. Months have passed and we've had no further responses, making us even more sad...
We would love, from the bottom of our hearts, for our community to be freed, because you see, that's where we shared our art, our sadness our memes our belief in a project we believe in with all our fervor. We are a caring and loving community, and I apologize if we did something wrong, and if possible, we'd like to know what really happened so it doesn't happen again. Thanks for listening to a little hamster's request
I'll be waiting by my wheel, hoping for a spin of good news!
Yours with twitchy whiskers,
Hammy, the Sad Hamster ♡
Please free @HammyCommunity

Can we take this discussion as a bottom signal?
Also googled haute couture and it means expensive clothes so what in the pinnochio is donalt up to these days huh
Replying to @ThinkingUSD
-I literally traded two accounts up from $100k to $1mil after taking two public challenges to do it, can't remember you ever publicly trading anything other than your daddys money though
Looks like projection to me
-I make almost nothing from Twitter, I work with one of if not the lowest paying exchanges in the space instead of working with Rollbit or others that you vouch for even though they offered infinitely more
-I never talked about PnDing ever, if anything you're the one that pump and dumped Nerve/Synapse - Remeber that? The reason why I left your chat group is because you suddenly started shilling it with a bunch of big accounts
Another case of you projecting
-My wife was an haute couture before she's had my children, if you think that's a stripper your mom probably is one too
Comment shows your lack of character, must be tough being a giant loser to attack someone elses family by making shit up just to try to win an argument on Twitter
Have fun in life flood, just know I find your excistence quite sad, hope it turns around for you
