I understand thinking crypto is over in 2014, again in 2018, again in 2022, but at this point saying "it's over" after it's dumped and then pumped cyclically is dimwitted

No one knew the first time around in 2014, say what you will but by this time in 2026 it's clear that crypto is cyclical and that above all, long-term holders win if you time your exit during the cycle peak.

It's not over, it's merely a cycle low. I think regardless in that wall street cheat sheet we're in Depression now. A few more will be rinshed out selling the beginning of the bull when ETH breaks out again, thinking that it's another dead-cat.

Bulls will win in the end, and the pumps we get from institutional leverage from ETFs and establishment in wall street during the next cycle will drive the major L1s parabolic, and there's nothing you can do about it.
