Dayyyyyuuuummmm, 2017 Was a dream! Look at those percentages across all quarters for Both Bitcoin and Ethereum! STEEM came back to life then and the blogging rewards were juicy! 2020 was pretty crazy as well and I remember that because we were finishing up the Liberation League around this time and crypto was starting to move and in a lot of ways I was burned out and a bit depressed as the weather turned bad but then I started picking up some trading wins and eventually DOGE started to lift off.
This year technically is supposed to be like 2018 and 2022 but now most have essentially thrown away the premise of the 4 year cycle and even Lark Davis who I like was essentially drawing all of 2025 stunted Alt SZN as an accumulation and coiling phase for Alt coins. I thought that was pretty crazy to act like all this alt activity was all just set up for what is supposedly supposed to happen now in Q4 right as fuel prices are at all time highs and mortgage interest rates might go to 8%. Right now the national average is 7.43% and obviously housing prices are still very elevated in most markets.
You can read my argument for this being a bull trap.

Again no one fully knows and it's going to wreck a lot of traders especially Perps traders.
I closed out a lot of my positions in the trenches because I'm doing a remote Hackathon right now so I don't need too many distractions.
