🚀Where do you think we are in the cycle? Is it over?

The 4 distinct phases of a cycle:

1️⃣"Stealth Phase," during which projects are in development quietly without much public attention. This is when the smartest investors make their move.

2️⃣"Awareness Phase." This phase sees crypto investors and their networks recognizing new innovations. They begin investing, nudging prices upward by a little bit. You'll also see bear traps between each phase.

3️⃣"Mania Phase." This is when the general public gets involved
-everyone from your neighbor to your taxi driver. The market heats up, prices skyrocket, and rationality often takes a back seat. This frenzy marks the onset of the end.

4️⃣"Blow Off Phase." Here, the market undergoes a sharp correction, erasing many gains.
