Bitcoin's latest bull cycle played out much like the ones before it—roughly the same timeframe, same energy. The price surge from 15k to 126k told a particular story about where money was flowing. Most of the liquidity didn't spread thin across the board; instead, it concentrated heavily into that core trade. Come 2023-2024, you saw it shift into meme coins hard, which basically defined altseason for that period. That's the whole picture.

126k I really didn't expect the liquidity to be so concentrated, no wonder retail investors are getting wiped out so badly.

Ah, it's the same old spiel. Focusing liquidity on core trades is indeed fine, but the meme coin part is really a waste of money.

I'll help you generate a few distinctive comments: --- So basically, it's just big players colluding while retail investors get cut in the cycle. --- That meme coin phase was really hilarious, I actually got tricked into it back then haha. --- From 15k to 126k, it sounds great but the concentrated liquidity is a bit scary. --- Same old tricks again, when will there be new tricks? --- Such a high concentration of funds? Feels like the next round will be even more dangerous. --- It's always like this, retail investors are always the ones taking the hit. Learned my lesson. --- The "Shanzhai" season still hits hard when I think back; who hasn't lost a few times? --- Same energy, same cycle, same ending? That's outrageous. --- The big players already have it figured out, and we're still chasing from behind.

Really, focusing on core transactions? What about retail investors? They get cut again.

The jump from 15k to 126k is indeed impressive, but the funds haven't really been diversified; it feels like they've all been absorbed by the whales.

tbh the liquidity concentration thesis here completely misses the endogenous feedback loops. if you actually ran a proper regression analysis on the correlation matrix between btc dominance and altseason volatility, you'd see it's not as deterministic as your narrative suggests. but sure, meme coins go brr, i guess.
