No matter how noisy the market gets, understanding the cycle is key.

Bitcoin over the past decade has played out the same script:

2012 peak → down 79%
2017 peak → down 81%
2021 peak → down 75%

Every time people say "this time is different," but what happens? History always rhymes.

Even crazier is the timing—

Each peak is spaced about 1420 to 1450 days apart. Like a set alarm:
2012 → 2017 → 2021 → 2025?

Right now? It might just be the prologue. The real climax hasn’t arrived yet.

Only projects that survive the cycle deserve to be called “valuable.”

Anyone can soar in a bull market, but surviving and evolving through the bear market—that’s where the real toughness shows.

Take Yield Guild Games, for example.

It’s long since stopped being just a gaming guild; now it’s working on:

→ On-chain reputation system
Every player action is recorded; the more you contribute, the higher your rank. Your gaming history is written directly on-chain.

→ Quest reward protocol
Projects post tasks, and players get paid for completing them. Playing and earning, truly forming a closed loop.

→ Decentralized gaming economic infrastructure
What they’re building is the foundation for a sustainable Web3 gaming ecosystem.

In a bull market, anyone can make quick money. But after the cycle, the projects still building and retaining users are the ones truly worth watching.

Patterns never miss, and neither do those who are prepared.
