2017 wasn't just a bull market—it was pure crypto mania.
📈 Total market cap exploded from $18B to over $600B. 🪙 Only around 1,300 coins existed. 🌐 A simple website redesign could send a token 10x. 🚀 Many altcoins delivered 100x–1000x returns. 💳 Retail investors maxed out credit cards and even took loans to chase the next pump. 🎯 Exchanges fought aggressively for traders, using every marketing tactic imaginable.
No spot ETFs. No institutional giants. No government support.
Just retail FOMO, speculation, and one of the wildest bull runs in financial history.
The next cycle won't look the same—but history shows what happens when capital, liquidity, and attention collide.
