Only 8% of the world owns crypto (659M people in 2024).
Most people still think Bitcoin is a scam or don’t understand it.
Good news? We’re closer than ever — but don’t assume everyone is already in.

What this means for you:
Buy before the crowd (the real profits happen before mass adoption).
Don’t expect instant riches — this is a long-term game.

Solana is faster, cheaper, and has more hype than Ethereum.
Ethereum struggles with high fees, slow upgrades, and Layer 2 chaos.
History shows market leaders get replaced (like Nokia → Apple).

What this means for you:
Don’t blindly hold ETH forever — watch the trends.
Ignoring Solana because of past outages is a mistake.

Most people buy at the top (FOMO) and sell at the bottom (panic).
The smart money sells into pumps — retail buys and gets stuck holding bags.

What this means for you:
Have an exit strategy (take profits when everyone is greedy).
Don’t just “HODL forever” — most altcoins die.

Institutions (BlackRock, Fidelity) own Bitcoin ETFs — they move the market.
The old “4-year cycle” may be broken — Bitcoin is becoming less volatile.
