In late 2022, every financial news headline said crypto was dead. A major exchange collapse had wiped out billions. $BTC was at $16K.
The narrative was: "This is the end of the experiment."
The people who bought in that window — while everyone was screaming "dead" — are sitting on roughly 4x from that level right now.
Not because they predicted the collapse. Not because they knew BTC would recover. Because they understood what they owned and were willing to hold while the crowd panicked.
The crowd gives you the best opportunities. It also gives you the most noise.
The job is to tell the difference.
