The real crypto cycle is this: 1) A few people preach BTC Dominance and talk about good ways to invest in crypto long-term. 2) Altcoin gurus that promise alt season each and every day mock anyone who does not buy into their shitcoin narrative and tells them to "have fun staying

@intocryptoverse Hi Ben, really appreciate your content but I do have a question around you thesis and how you value alts as a whole. Really the “grouping” or aggregation of Alts into one lump for comparison against BTC I think is the issue. The Altcoin market is full to overflowing with

@intocryptoverse Will you own it if this ends up being the start of a bear market or will you just tell people that you said this was a possibility all along? I think you’ll go with the latter

@intocryptoverse Wait Ben… actually can you please shill me your top coins to be DCAing in this bloodbath? I know counterintuitive but I’m actually asking 😂

@intocryptoverse One can hold 100% BTC without being a "Bitcoin Maxi". A "Bitcoin Maximalist" is someone who is intolerant of other coins-- often a toxic person who doesn't care that he is being toxic. The term should not be confused with simply having a portfolio which is fully allocated to BTC

@intocryptoverse Your points are well taken Ben, and your track record speaks for itself. If I survive this cycle, (jury still out), I will absolutely try to buy bitcoin near the bear market bottom in 2026 and just sit on it. I didn’t enter this cycle until Bitcoin was already at $45K. In

@intocryptoverse This is painfully accurate. Most alt hype plays out the same way big promises, FOMO, then a wipeout for anyone overleveraged. The thing people forget is that even small leverage can wipe you if you’re not careful. 5x feels safe until a 10% swing hits you the wrong way. The

@intocryptoverse You forgot the part where the shitcoiner gets 1 right one time and then proceed to talk endless amounts of shit even though they are wrong 98% of the time

@intocryptoverse Ben - I've been around since 2017 and fell prey to altcoins in my BTC journey. Your insistence that BTC is king and liquidity always flows back gave me confidence to sell alts and just build my BTC bag. Would you agree BTC could drop to a radically low price and still be

@intocryptoverse #Altseason coming soon… soon…soon…soon, son! Son, wake up, son! — Then I woke up… my dad was calling me. I was late to my new McDonald’s job 🍔😳

@intocryptoverse no crying in the casino Ben

@intocryptoverse I’m an altcoin degen and I accept it. Every penny lost is on me. In it for the love of the game and I’m so young and have a good head on my shoulders so I can afford all the risk in the world right now.

@intocryptoverse Casino gamblers who profit from others crying in the casino shocked that they themselves end up crying in the casino.

@intocryptoverse Is the focus on BTC dominance genuinely about the belief in its long-term value, or is it just a way to maintain a certain narrative that keeps people invested?

@intocryptoverse $19B liqs yesterday—90% longs on alts (SOL -6.9%, ETH -3.7%). BTC -2.2% to $110.5K, but BTC.D holds ~58%. Your dominance call playing out—alts wrecked, BTC resilient. Cycle pattern repeating: liquidate longs → consolidate → new highs 📊

@intocryptoverse Most “traders” are newbies lucky enough to catch a pump through constant cooperated shilling to sheep. Such strategy is not consistent and certainly is not fundamentals driven. Not emotionally stable to accept anything can happen in the highest volatility asset class.

@intocryptoverse Well put. Although I think BTC.d is likely to drop soon, many Bitcoin haters are simply delusional. They know nothing, often didn't even discover crypto until the 2017 cycle. But feel they are experts in the history of crypto. It's all very cringe.

@intocryptoverse With all due respect Ben (and much is due) it seems you would benefit from rebranding your account without the word crypto in it to separate yourself and your thesis on Bitcoin from the shitcoin casino @intocryptoverse

@intocryptoverse Benjamin I hold near my entire networth in rare geckos. Will I be affected by altcoin season?

@intocryptoverse What if… BTC.D is in a “super cycle “, and alt season never comes because they keep expecting it. Everyone calling for super cycle for crypto and alts, but what if it’s the BTC.D that is? No one talks about this and we might go lower than the .25 on ALT/BTC pairs.

@intocryptoverse Altcoin gurus sell $300-$1000 tweets to companies promoting small cap coins. Of course they will shill and of course they will be offended. It’s their business model.

@intocryptoverse I mean… this is how you become a pro. Buy altcoins. Hold them for 5 years. Predict an altseason every week. Age 20 years. Have 3 heart attacks. Sell your alts after 5 years at the same price you bought them. Become a Bitcoin maxi.

@intocryptoverse Yup, there's a big difference between having a flutter at the casino with some spare cash and taking your life savings then yeeting them on a five number bet on the roulette wheel. Worse, when the house wins, grifters are by their side shouting "you got this bro! do it again!"

@intocryptoverse I have learned a lot this cycle from your videos and website. The data has been on point… hopefully there is an altcoins season with the top 20 altcoins in the next few months. Some of us have contributed to these protocols by staking or participating in the dapps that have

@intocryptoverse Yep. And yet people still tend to repeat the same altcoin mistake again and again. Greed is too strong to stay reasonable. But maybe this must be that way, if we want this market to stay profitable (for some). Some must lose so some good win. And if only few in crypto

@intocryptoverse One of the most grounded takes on the cycle. 💯 Key Takeaways: -History keeps proving BTC strength through every cycle. -Most altcoins are momentum trades, not long-term stores of value. -Emotional investing = expensive lessons. 👉👉The Edge View: The market always humbles

@intocryptoverse this cycle repeats every single time without fail. BTC dominance always wins in the end but people keep chasing the next shiny thing. reminds me of $COIN right now, everyone sleeping on it while altcoin casino runs hot, but when reality hits its the infrastructure that survives

@intocryptoverse Is the focus on BTC dominance genuinely about stability and long-term investment, or is it just a way to dismiss the potential of altcoins?

@intocryptoverse didnt you shill avalanche like pas cycle, ada etc? Or have you learned something from pas mistakes?

@intocryptoverse no crying in the casino

@intocryptoverse Spot on. I've watched this cycle play out three times now. The real money's made in the boring accumulation phase while everyone else is chasing shiny objects.

@intocryptoverse Alt season: where dreams meet reality

@intocryptoverse bitcoin maxis don’t hate alts, they just outlast them. $btc

@intocryptoverse The same trash that Altcoiners talk to bitcoiners, bitcoiners talk to gold owners. Gold and bitcoin are sound money; both will save people from the ravages of fiat currency. Everything else is just gambling.

@intocryptoverse Well said, but your not talking about my alt coin right? I was promised 3000 years ago that it’ll do a 45x.

@intocryptoverse Me: l Bitcoin's pulse: 21 million heartbeats strong.

@intocryptoverse “AKA ALEX BECKER” 😆
