Crypto diehards probably won’t like this, but here’s my honest take.
Yes, you can still make money in crypto.
Yes, you can still trade it.
But let’s not pretend it’s the main character right now.
Money has clearly moved.
Stocks. AI. Space. Metals.
Every week there’s a new stock doing 50–100%
with cleaner price action than most crypto charts.
For the last 10+ years, crypto was the easiest game.
That era is mostly over.
BTC was 4k five years ago.
15k three years ago.
Now it’s flirting with six figures.
You’re not early.
Institutions already got their liquid 3–10x
and milked it properly.
Meanwhile AI is the shiny new toy.
Every sector takes a turn running.
That bubble will eventually flush
probably when even kids are shipping apps with two prompts
but AI isn’t going anywhere.
This isn’t a “crypto is dead” tweet.
Crypto will do what it always does:
chop for months,
move violently in one week,
then chop again.
But staying crypto-only out of some loyalty fantasy, isn’t discipline, it’s tunnel vision.
You don’t get rewarded for suffering.
CT loves to pretend you do.
Sitting around waiting for fake breakouts
and full retraces isn’t the play.
Waiting for one guy to ape size
so the chart can pump for 48 hours and give it all back
also isn’t the play.
Say “bottom tweet” if you want.
People have been saying that for months and it hasn’t helped.
All I’m saying is:
there’s a bigger world out there.
And I’m not allergic to trading it.
