I looked back at what the most followed crypto Twitter accounts were saying at the peak of the 2021 bull market. Most of their views have long been untenable, but some have aged like fine wine.

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: Honestly, I also don't know how to interpret this.

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: Maybe I'll make some clickbait YouTube content "How I became a billionaire from $200 in just 5 years while averaging only 3 sober days per week," and I'll film it in a seaplane with my butler and my butler's butler.
Author's comment: "My butler's butler," I am still waiting for this news.

Original text:
That was a very rough BTC 8% drop, to be honest.
It made me momentarily uncomfortable.
I think it's fair to say we deserve a bounce to $100k for this mild inconvenience.
Translation:
Honestly, Bitcoin dropped 8%, this drop is quite fierce.
This made me a bit uncomfortable.
I think, considering this drop, we should bounce back to $100,000, that seems reasonable.
Author's comment: It fell 70% in the next two years.

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 money.
When called out they preach "positivity".
Translation:
If you learn one thing from my words, it’s that 90% of people on Crypto Twitter (CT) don’t actually trade. They are just charlatans pretending to be traders.
They rely on private sales, undisclosed advertisements, insider knowledge, or pumping and dumping altcoins to make money.
When called out, they preach "positivity."
Author's comment: Sound advice that remains applicable to this day.

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 is over...
Very thorough backtest. As expected, there was a lot of (market) noise around the historical high breakout.
Just keep stacking coins.
Author's comment: In fact, the bull market is over.

Original text: STOP SELLING THE COINS YOU POORS

Author's comment: (Narrator voice): In fact, they haven't stopped selling coins.

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 remarks about Bitcoin.
Easy
Original text: January 1st - ETH 6,942. It's programmed.
Translation: January 1st - ETH price $6,942. The script has already been written.
Author's comment: It seems this is not a foregone conclusion. However, Easy didn't specify which January 1st (the prophecy might still come true?).

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 through $70k.
Translation: Still in a bull market. I am looking for opportunities to buy the dip so that when Bitcoin breaks $70,000, I can sell the rip.
Author's comment: Catching the falling knife.
This post is a reminder from 2021:
The Twitter feed at the historical peak looked crazy. If even the top players can't sell at the top, you won't be able to either. Be prepared.
