PLUS: Singapore's whale
GM everyone. This is 2036.
Today, I want to do something a little different: I want to take you back in time.
Itâs early 2021.
The bitcoin halving happened 8 months ago.
After dropping -50% in a day during COVID, bitcoin finishes 2020 up +160%.
Bitcoin is trading at âŒ$30,000; ETHâ $1,000.
Weâve reclaimed the previous all-time high, and everyone is happy.
Now - lots of people think theyâre late to the game. After all, crypto has already pumped massively.
But hereâs what happens next:
Over the span of 5 months, ETH goes up another 5X.

AXS (Axie Infinity) borrows a page from ETHâs book - but in 5 months, it instead pumps 50X.

BNB - already a $6 billion-dollar top coin at this point - jumps 8X in just 20 days.

SHIB - the memecoin that spent months ranging sideways - skyrockets 10X in 25 days.

You get the idea.
Pancakeswap, an exchange, pumps 70X in 4 months. And lots of smaller coins like TEL or GALA pump 300-500X in a matter of monthsâŠ.
⊠not to forget DOGE, the father of all memes - which surges 10X in ONE DAY.

Ok - so whatâs the takeaway?
A parabolic push comes at the end of each cycle âand thatâs where most of the gains come from.
But hereâs the catch: we donât know in advance when that moment will come.
All we can reasonably guesstimate is that, for now - we should be somewhere here:

Cryptoâs been mainly going sideways for nearly 2 months.
Itâs in the boring zone.
This is an easy time to ignore it, give up or think youâll âinvest laterâ to catch the bull market.
But the parabolic push higher is coming.
If youâre not prepared and fully allocated, it will throw you off guard. Youâll be FOMO-ing and taking too much risk too late.
Before you realize it, youâll have either roundtripped your gains or missed them altogether.
So donât let the boredom of markets push you into complacency.
If you do, you might just miss the best part.
