I looked back at what those popular crypto Twitter accounts were saying at the peak of the 2021 bull market. Most of their points no longer hold, but some have aged like fine wine.

Original text: if this market doesn't nuke soon my trading intuition is broken.
Translation: If this market doesn't crash soon, my trading intuition will be broken.
Author's comment: Perfect timing, it's frighteningly good.
CZ
Original text: Don't worry about competition. It will make your industry bigger, which in turn helps you. Embrace it!
Translation: Don't worry about competition. It will make your industry bigger, which in turn helps you. Embrace it!
Author's comment: "Don't worry about competition." Bro accidentally spoiled (FTX was eliminated a year later).

Translation: Observe the daily close as a cum soaked, sleep deprived sponge observes cl approaching in a sneaky - stalky manner after running out of socks.
Author's comment: To be honest, I don't even know how to interpret this.
Cobie
Original text: Might make some clickbait YouTube content "how I became a billionaire from $200 in just 5 years while averaging only 3 sober days per week" gonna record it in a seaplane with my butler and my butler's butler.
Translation: Perhaps I'll make some clickbait YouTube content "How I turned $200 into a billionaire in just 5 years while averaging only 3 sober days a week," and I'll shoot this content in a seaplane with my butler and my butler's butler.
Author's comment: "My butler's butler," I'm still waiting for that news.

Translation: What the hell does Opensea spend all their money on?
Author's comment: Raised a real question.

Original text: FUCKKKKKKKK
Author's comment: What does he know??

Original text:
That was a very rough BTC 8% drop to be honest.
It made me momentarily uncomfy.
I think it's fair to say we deserve a bounce to $100k for this mild inconvenience.
Translation:
To be honest, Bitcoin dropped 8%, and this drop is quite sharp.
This made me a bit uncomfortable.
I think, just because of this drop, we deserve a bounce to $100,000, that seems reasonable.
Author's comment: It dropped 70% in the following two years.

Original text:
If there’s one thing you learn from me
People on CT can’t trade at all. It’s just snake oil salesmen larping as traders.
They rely on private sales, undisclosed advertisements, insider knowledge, or pumping & dumping alts to make $
When called out they preach "positivity."
Translation:
If there's one thing you can learn from my words, it's that 90% of people on Crypto Twitter (CT) don't actually trade. They're just charlatans pretending to be traders.
They rely on private sales, undisclosed advertisements, insider knowledge, or pumping & dumping alts to make money.
When accused, they preach "positivity."
Author's comment: Pragmatic advice that still holds true.

Original text:
IT'S OVER... for the bears.
Clean retest. Plenty of noise around ATH breakout as expected.
I like it. Just keep stacking.
Translation:
The bear market has ended...
A thorough retest. As expected, there is plenty of (market) noise around the ATH breakout.
Just keep stacking coins.
Author's comment: The bull market has actually ended.
Udi
Original text: STOP SELLING THE COINS YOU POORS
Translation: Poor people, stop selling coins.
Author's comment: (Narrator's voice): In fact, they haven't stopped selling coins.
Michael Saylor
Original text: "He who works all day has no time to make money." - John D. Rockefeller on #Bitcoin
Translation: "He who works all day has no time to make money." - John D. Rockefeller on Bitcoin
Author's comment: He just keeps making bullish statements about Bitcoin.
Easy
Original text: January 1st - ETH $6,942. It's programmed.
Translation: January 1st - Ethereum price $6,942. The script is already written.
Author's comment: It seems this is not a predetermined trend. However, Easy didn't specify what year January 1st is (the prophecy might still come true?).
Mayne
Original text: Still in a bull market. I'm scoping out places to buy the dip so I can later sell the rip as we blast thru $70k.
Translation: Still in a bull market. I'm looking for buying opportunities during dips so I can sell high when Bitcoin breaks through $70,000.
Author's comment: Catching the knife.
This post is a reminder from 2021:
The Twitter feed during the peak of the bull market in 2021 looked crazy. If even the best can't sell at the top, neither can you. Be prepared.
