BTC recent rally has slowed down, and many people are starting to be pessimistic, but there's really nothing to worry about. In my opinion, this is just a normal cycle in the crypto world.



Looking back at 2017, BTC dropped from 20,000 to 3,200, and at that time, the whole screen was filled with voices saying "the crypto market is doomed." But what happened next? By 2021, it reached new highs again. The current situation is less a crisis and more a market brewing its next story.

Altcoins have indeed been affected, but from another perspective, this has just created space for projects with real practical applications. It's similar to the logic in the stock market—bear markets are the best time for filtering. The gap between good companies and air projects will be amplified infinitely.

However, at this stage, simply speculating on BTC without considering macro factors is no longer enough. We need to shift our focus to the actual flow of funds and where the new capital is coming from. Just look at the continuous influx of ETFs; traditional capital's understanding of BTC is deepening, which is a positive sign.

As for the future of the crypto industry, frankly, it's not about how much BTC can rise, but about what real-world problems this industry can truly solve. Currently, hot tracks like AI and RWA are aligning more with the traditional world, and within these, there are real opportunities.

I was also there in 2017. What does this count as now? Just a bear market filtering for genuine projects.

In 2017, that wave dropped from 20,000 to 3,200. I reviewed historical data, and the decline was 85%. Currently, this level of fluctuation is still within the tolerable range. However, the key is to look at the capital flow; ETF entry is just superficial, on-chain data is the real indicator.

Here comes the doom-mongering again, always so dramatic I think the real opportunities are in those projects that have been hammered down to floor prices RWA is truly the future of the future, don’t just focus on BTC numbers

When it hit 3200 in 2017, I was there too. These fluctuations are nothing; if we endure, we will win.

Here we go again, have you really forgotten the wave from 2017? --- Honestly, right now, everyone watching BTC price has a retail mentality. --- ETF entry is the real signal; retail investors are still debating rise or fall. --- A bear market is the true test for projects; this time, a large number of trash coins are being eliminated. --- RWA and AI tracks are the main themes this year. --- Instead of shouting short or long, it’s better to see where the big funds are going. --- You should be tired of the crypto cycle by now, haha. --- Traditional capital entering the market is the biggest confidence. --- The problem is most people simply don’t understand what’s brewing. --- Cleaned out air projects are actually good for the industry. --- How much BTC costs isn’t important; what matters is the ecosystem is changing. --- When the whole screen is shouting bearish, smart people are building positions. --- The current situation is about filtering out those with true vision.

Starting to tell stories again, I remember the 2017 drop to 3200, but what about the people who got in back then? Holding on tightly, it wasn't until 2021 that they broke even. Was this deal really worth it? ETF entry is a signal, but the real money was already on the RWA side. Wake up. Bear market filtering? Nice words. Altcoins have gone straight to zero, do you understand?

Here we go again with the stories, but this time it's a bit different. ETF entry has indeed changed the game rules. By the way, friends still hyping up shanzhai projects need to wake up; real money is flowing into BTC and the tracks. We've all jumped over the pits of 2017, and this time, don't miss the opportunities in AI and RWA. Honestly, now the BTC trend is secondary; the key is who can survive until next year's bull market. In the bear market, many projects will indeed cool off, but the ones that pass the screening are the real deal. Wait, this logic sounds pretty good, but what about the macro perspective? Has anyone analyzed the Federal Reserve's moves this year?
