4 phases during the bull run.

https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/1mn7vjs/how_to_take_profits_like_a_pro_during_the/

- BTC pumps, the rest just sucks ft. ETH. anything/BTC is tanking

- ETH wakes up (+- current situation) and we have a gigantic volatility on ETH/BTC chart, money moves between those 2 + some major alts

- ETH season is done and we have a situation where money flows from ETH into major alts (top 10-20 by market cap)

- Alt season is not starting yet just the top ones are pumping

- Finally once every dead coin and every meme and everything left and right starts to pump we call that an altcoin season. Your granny, your boss and co workers, your uber driver and basically everyone talks about them bitcorns.

The latter is the top indicator and you should move your money into BTC again. The alt season typically lasts for about 1-2 months so if you don't time it right and are stubborn you'll go all the way down to 90-95% from this cycle ATH (that's basically 99% of you in this sub).

You also don't keep all of your converted BTC when the bear starts, you either sell 50% for FIAT (if you need to buy something in the real world like a lambo or something) or stablecoins. You can park your stablecoins on lending and borrowing platforms and get 30% APY while your fiat gets you close to zero APY.

Once the bear is at its peak you use that fiat/stablecoin to buy BTC again because nobody is buying BTC at ATL except the smart asses like you positioning themselves for the next bull run for that 10.

Repeat this every cycle, and you're set for life and of course never sell everything in one go during the bull cause nobody can time the top but sell 10%, then 25%, then 40% (close to global top = ATH of your coin) and then 25% gradually at each local top of your favorite crypto.

I'll send an invoice to y'all later on, you can thank me later. Ok, bye.

How many 'cycles' have you been through and do you really think that is enough to confidently assert that the same pattern will play out this time?

Humans don't tend to like the unpredictability of the future and so engage in 'soothing' strategies to convince themselves that they can anticipate what is going to happen.

That's why throughout history people have visited fortune tellers, palm readers, oracles, prophets etc etc. It's part of why the weak minded fall for charismatic populists in times of unrest and change. We get comfort from tricking ourselves that someone or something can accurately tell us what is going to happen.

But really, there is little reason to think that crypto is going to play out the same way this time as last time. Even if it makes you feel in control to believe it will.

Firstly, there has never been a moat between investments in the same way before. BTC and ETH have large institutional investments through ETFs and treasury funds. None of that money is going to move to assets which don't have those tradfi products.

Secondly, Bitcoin and Ethereum have, in different ways, now got mainstream adoption at a level that does not correlate to any previous cycle. Visa, Blackrock, Sony, Deutsche Bank etc etc have all built projects onchain that they aren't going to move.

I think it is foolish to assume yourself that everything will just play out along the same pattern as last time again. And it is outright irresponsible to try to convince other people that you know what is going to happen.

I'm right, you're wrong. Deal with it.

If you have an emotional need for the comfort that comes from deluding yourself into believing you can predict the future then I'm not sure it's me that needs to 'deal with it'.
