I don't know about you, but I find it highly motivating to watch all sorts of bodybuilders training and sharing their success stories. I've been into fitness for a bit over two years, and while I haven't shaped my body as much as I wished, the gym has become an integral part of my life, and I don't regret a minute spent there.
Recently, I watched a workout conducted by Hany Rambod, a coach who has won Mister Olympia 25 times, training Phil Heath, a seven-time Mister Olympia winner. You might think that once you've achieved so many titles, you don't need a trainer anymore, but you do. You can't see yourself as a trainer does, and in any sport, good training makes a significant difference in your efforts.
There's a time for peace, and there's a time for war
According to Phil Heath, he had a quite long "abstinence from training." When he finally put his blood to work, accompanied by Hany, he once again got the taste for lifting weights and pushing his boundaries. Despite the break, he still looks huge. When he got the taste of sweat and blood pumping through his veins again, he shared a quote that I love:
There's a time for peace, and there's a time for war
Whoever thinks we're still in a bear market in crypto, like that famous account (Capo), is in disbelief. You don't have 1000% year-to-date gains on any coin during a bear market. Period. And many coins are currently rocking such performances. The bear market is over, and the profitable times of being in crypto are about to commence.
I'm grateful to say that I am already about 3X on my investments in crypto, thanks to @sapphirecrypto's posts on Hive, which provided valuable gems for this bull market. Will I manage to 100x my portfolio? I doubt it. I don't even dream of that. But if it happens, I will be more than grateful. I have a strategy, and I'm putting it into action once the coins I own reach the selling levels I decided for them.
Most altcoins are still around 90% down from their all-time highs, and BTC is still 37% away from matching its 2021 peak. The reality of Bitcoin spot ETFs being approved in the US is almost palpable, and that will probably push BTC even higher on a low timeframe before a necessary correction, a result of the "sell the news event."
Some may feel like they already missed opportunities in crypto just because Solana is pumping like there's no tomorrow. Well, Solana is showing to have that much fuel due to all the crap MEME coins and NFTs built on it. It's still a blockchain having issues in running smoothly, but the hype is there and reflected in the price.
There's a time for peace, and there's a time for war
My take is that we are still in a time of peace in the market as there isn't any exaggerated hype yet around any project or the industry as a whole. Once you start hearing about super cycles and the integration of crypto into everything, and all sorts of premature nonsense, you should know that the time for war has come, and you need to jump the boat that's about to fall off the cliff into the bear market waterfall.
Don't get me wrong; the future is about technological breakthroughs and smashing boundaries for us humans as a species, and crypto is going to be an integral part of that process. But don't expect any super cycle for crypto anytime soon or to see flying cars in the next five years or so. We're still burning fuel and about to experience a severe recession once the risk appetite diminishes among the majority of investors.
There won't be any soft landing for the economy and no damn super cycle for Bitcoin (don't fall for this as I did in 2021). Lock in profits all the way up and stay liquid once the house of cards starts falling. At some point in the next three or so years, we will start building from the ashes once again. There is still time to accumulate altcoins in my opinion, and some are at quite a discount, but not any shitcoin will be the next Solana.
Thanks for your attention,
