Bitcoin cannot replace gold

Gold has a market capitalization of about $19 trillion, and even in the most optimistic scenario, Bitcoin ($BTC) is far from reaching. Digital gold? Yes. Real gold? Don't think about it.

Market liquidity is decreasing

Spot ETFs attract institutional funds, but retail liquidity is drying up. Market popularity alone is not enough to support the next stage of development.

Popularization has not begun yet

Although cryptocurrencies frequently appear in the news, their actual real-life applications are still limited. It is still primarily a game field for speculators, not everyday financial instruments.

The dream of decentralization has been shattered

The dream of a completely decentralized cryptocurrency is disappearing. Today, centralized exchanges, regulators and big capital players are in control.

Withdrawal of funds from crypto investment

Despite unprecedented government support and industry legitimacy is also improving, venture capital for crypto projects is below the level of the craze in 2017-2018.

Solana will surpass Ethereum Solana ($SOL) faster and cheaper, and grow rapidly in the NFT, DeFi and meme coins. But Ethereum ($ETH) struggles with high fees and internal chaos. It's only a matter of time before going beyond, not whether it will happen.

NFT is dead

The PFP (NFT avatar) craze has passed. Without actual application scenarios, NFT will not be able to recover unless new use cases appear.

Retail investors are "takeover warriors"

Smart funds enter the market early and sell them to retail investors at a high point. Most people end up not being able to make a profit.

If Solana does not have a new "explosion point", it will be difficult to set a new high

Meme coins have been the biggest catalyst for $SOL. Without a new wave of enthusiasm, market attention will gradually fade.

The next wave of AI agents is coming

While the first wave of AI agents is just chatbots, more advanced technologies are coming, which will change the way we interact with cryptocurrencies.

Market cycles and indicators are no longer valid

Traditional market cycle? Technical Analysis (TA) Model? Today, the market is more affected by liquidity games and macro events.

The fuel for the altcoin season is exhausted

Funds no longer flow into the altcoin market as they used to. Without new capital injections, a full-scale "altseason" may never happen.

Bitcoin could fall to $40,000

Yes, such a deep callback is possible. Market structure and liquidity show that a major adjustment is brewing.

Trump is not a "hope drug" in the crypto market

During Biden's administration, the market performed better. Trump's policies may be more inclined toward institutions than retail investors.

GameFi will usher in a revival

Web3 games are gradually maturing. If GTA 6 (Grand Theft Auto 6) integrates blockchain technology, it may revolutionize the gaming industry.

SocialFi will be the next trend

Tokenized communities, interactive rewards and content monetization will become inevitable development directions.

Complex technology is no longer the hot spot of this cycle

The simpler the project, the more popular it is. Artificial intelligence (AI), decentralized Internet of Things (DePIN), and real-world assets (RWA) are easy to understand, while modular blockchains are not.

Binance launches new no longer meant surge

Most new Binance currencies will eventually fall. The market hype cycle has changed.

A comprehensive altcoin season may never return

Yes, some altcoins may have a 10-fold or even 100-fold increase, but the huge market covering all altcoins? Nearly impossible.

The crypto market never works as expected

If you think you have seen through the market completely, the market will prove you wrong. Either adapt or be eliminated.
