Here's something that puts market cycles in perspective:
Back in 1985, the S&P 500 had its own set of giants dominating the top 10. Fast forward to today? Not a single one of those names remains in that elite circle.
Think about that for a moment. Complete turnover. Zero survivors.
This isn't just trivia - it's a reminder that what seems untouchable today might not even make the list tomorrow. Whether we're talking traditional equities or crypto assets, the lesson stays the same: markets evolve, leaders rotate, and yesterday's blue chips can become footnotes.
Makes you wonder who'll still be standing from today's top 10 in another 40 years, right? Probably why long-term positioning matters more than chasing whatever's hot this quarter.

40 years with zero survivors. Thinking about it now, all those holdings are just trash...

A 40-year cycle—today's FAANG might be tomorrow's Kodak.

A 40-year zero survivor rate means that no matter how hyped a coin is now, you should always be prepared for it to fall behind at any time.
