PTSD from last cycle is real

The only thing that heals scars is time, and even then some scar tissue never fully heals

CEO & co-founder of Amihan.gg. Previously Riot & Goldman. Virtual economist. Probably nothing. 

The trick is, it's a different retail each cycle.

💯 agreed, but this cycle retail will be wary of any terminology from last cycle (e.g., “NFTs”) and anything that was covered majorly in mainstream media leading up to LUNA & FTX

Nah, honestly, we thought that about dogecoin/litecoin and all "alts" after the 2013/14 cycle peak. 2017 then heralded what was arguably the most insane alt szn imaginable.

Lots of people also thought ETH was toxic after the DAO Hack & drop to $80 but the 20/21 cycle was literally ETH's show.

Do you think that’s due to lower available “selection” of possible tradable assets in previous cycles though?

For example $WIF took off this precycle, not $DOGE. 

I also think fungible tokens behave quite differently from non-fungible ones.

Curious to hear what your personal predictions are for what will catalyze true retail to enter this cycle?

For me personally I feel like all the current SocialFi is the same 5,000 degen circle jerk we’ve seen for months.

The 2017 alt szn started with BTC Dominance just over 98%, and saw it drop all the way to 36% - that type of liquidity flow honestly could never be seen again.

2021 saw BTC.D top at 73%, and only fall to about 39%. 

Doge is weirdly, always late to run. It's a very retail indicator coin.
