I looked back at what the most followed crypto Twitter accounts were saying at the peak of the 2021 bull market. Most of their viewpoints have long since become untenable, but a few have aged like fine wine.

Translation: If this market doesn't crash soon, then my trading intuition is broken.
Author's comment: The timing is perfect, 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.' My bro accidentally spoiled it (FTX got eliminated a year later).

Original text: Observe the daily close as a cum-soaked, sleep-deprived sponge observes CL approaching in a sneaky-stalky manner after running out of socks.
Translation: View the daily close as a cum-soaked, sleep-deprived sponge, sneaking and tiptoeing as it observes the approaching CL after running out of socks.
Author's comment: Honestly, I don't know how to interpret this either.
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: 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,' and I'll film it in a seaplane with my butler and my butler's butler.
Author's comment: 'My butler's butler', I'm still waiting for this news.

Author's comment: Raised a real question.

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 decline is quite severe.
This made me a bit uncomfortable for a moment.
I think, given this drop, we deserve a rebound to $100,000, that's reasonable.
Author's comment: It dropped 70% in the following 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'.

If there's one thing you can learn from me, it's that 90% of people on Crypto Twitter (CT) don't trade at all. They're just snake oil salesmen masquerading as traders.

When called out, they preach 'positivity'.
Author's comment: Sound advice, still applicable today.

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...
A thorough retest. Plenty of noise around the ATH breakout as expected.
Just keep stacking coins.
Author's comment: In fact, the bull market has ended.

Original text: STOP SELLING THE COINS YOU POORS
Translation: Poor folks, stop selling coins.
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 statements about Bitcoin.
Easy
Original text: January 1st - ETH 6,942. It's programmed.
Translation: January 1st - Ethereum price $6,942. The script has already been written.
Author's comment: It seems this isn't a predetermined trend. However, Easy didn't specify which year's January 1st (the prophecy might still hold 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 through $70k.
Translation: Still in a bull market. I'm looking for opportunities to buy the dip so that when Bitcoin breaks $70,000, I can sell the rip.
Author's comment: Caught the knife.
This post is a reminder from 2021:
The Twitter feed at the ATH looked insane. If even the best can't sell at the top, neither can you. Be prepared.
