Bitcoin has surged past $100K—for the 7th time this bull run—yet the rest of the crypto market is lagging hard. Ethereum is struggling at $2.2K, Solana is stuck near $162, and most memecoins are still down 90-95% from their all-time highs.

Sure, you’ll see the occasional “10% green candle” on some altcoins, but let’s be brutally honest: A 10% bounce after a 95% crash isn’t a comeback—it’s a trap. These pumps are nothing more than exit liquidity for the last wave of bagholders before the next leg down. 🧟‍♂️

### 🔍 The Big Shift: Why This Cycle Isn’t Following the Old Script

In past bull markets, altcoins would rally hard alongside Bitcoin. But this time? The playbook has changed.

- Bitcoin is eating the market. Its dominance (**#BTC.D**) keeps rising while altcoins bleed.

- Hype isn’t being rewarded like before. Memecoins, DeFi narratives, and "next-gen L1s" are struggling to keep up.

- Institutional money is laser-focused on BTC. ETFs, macro uncertainty, and regulatory clarity are driving capital into Bitcoin—not speculative alts.

### 💡 The Hidden Message: What This Means for You

1. Bitcoin is the safe haven. In a market full of vaporware and scams, BTC remains digital gold—the only crypto asset with proven staying power.

2. Altcoins are high-risk gambles, not investments. Most will never recover.

3. If you’re not overweight on BTC, you’re betting against the trend.

### 🧠 Final Thought: How to Position Yourself

I’m not saying you should go 100% Bitcoin (though there’s a strong case for it). But if BTC isn’t the largest position in your portfolio, you’re ignoring the clearest signal in crypto right now:

This is Bitcoin’s cycle. Everything else is noise.
