Almost all major opportunities in the crypto space are born when the market seems to be on the verge of death.
No need to say much about BNB 94. At that time, market sentiment was no longer cautious, it was abandonment. Many people stopped watching the market altogether. And from that point on, BNB has been on a steady rise, looking back, it was the lowest emotional point.
The same goes for inscriptions. When Ordinals first appeared, no one played with them, no one understood, they were even considered trash that polluted the block space. By the time serious discussions began, it was already after the first wave of confirmed market trends. Early participants, did not profit from technical advantages, they profited from the lack of competition.
After the FTX collapse on Solana, it was even colder. Not because it lacked popularity, but because it had negative popularity. Being mocked daily, being bearish, being considered dead. But during that period, the ecosystem actually recovered slowly. When the market reaccepts it, the price has long moved away from the initial position.
And Layer2. OP, ARB, when they first talked about scaling, ordinary people didn’t care. Thought it was boring, didn’t understand it, thought it was hopeless. When airdrops, ecosystem, and activity all pick up, that’s already the consensus phase.
Even Meme coins are the same. The memes that can truly break out are often those that, at the very beginning, have few viewers, few shares, few buyers, gradually accumulating consensus. By the time the entire timeline is about it, it’s no longer the starting point.
Looking at these together, you'll notice a particularly counterintuitive fact: the coldest times in the market are often the most potential for future gains.
Not because the logic is clearest then, but because the emotions are at their lowest, participants are the fewest, the positions are the cheapest.
When everyone begins to participate, it indicates that the thing has been validated, which also means the bottom is far away from you.
So, when I see the market cooling now, I don’t panic. What truly alarms me is when everyone starts discussing “how high can it go this time.”
Because history has repeatedly shown that the best opportunities in crypto always belong to those who dare to stand for a while when it’s quiet.
