The Twitter feed looked crazy at the all-time high.

I went back and looked at what the most followed crypto Twitter accounts were saying at the peak of the 2021 bull market. Most of their takes have aged terribly, though a few have aged like fine wine.
Ansem
Original: if this market doesnt nuke soon my trading intuition is broken.
Translation: If this market doesn't crash soon, then my trading intuition is broken.
Author comment: Timing was perfect—scarily so.
CZ
Original: Don't worry about competition. It will make your industry bigger, which in turn helps you. Embrace it!
Translation: Don't worry about competition. It will make your industry bigger, which in turn helps you. Embrace it!
Author comment: "Don't worry about competition." Bro accidentally spoiled the plot (FTX got eliminated a year later).
Smolting
Original: observe the daily close as a cum soaked, sleep deprived sponge observes cl approaching in a sneaky - stalky manner after running out of socks.
Translation: Watch the daily close like a cum-soaked, sleep-deprived sponge observing cl creeping up in a sneaky-stalky way after running out of socks.
Author comment: Honestly, I have no idea how to interpret this one.
Cobie
Original: Might make some clickbait YouTube content "how I became a billionaire from $200 in just 5 years while average only 3 sober days per week" gonna record it in a seaplane with my butler and my butler's butler.
Translation: Might make some clickbait YouTube content—"how I turned $200 into a billion dollars in just 5 years while averaging only 3 sober days per week"—and record it in a seaplane with my butler and my butler's butler.
Author comment: "My butler's butler"—I'm still waiting for that update.

Original: What the hell does Opensea spend all their money on?
Translation: What the hell does OpenSea spend all their money on?
Author comment: Asked the real question.
Beeple
Original: FUCKKKKKKKK
Author comment: What did he know??
Gainzy
Original:
that was a v rough btc 8% drop tbh
it made me momentarily uncomfy
i think it's fair to say we deserve a bounce to 100k for this mild inconvenience
Translation:
To be honest, that 8% BTC drop was pretty brutal.
It made me briefly uncomfortable.
I think it's fair to say we deserve a bounce to $100K after such a minor inconvenience.
Author comment: Then came a 70% drawdown over the next two years.

If there’s one thing you learn from me
people on CT can’t trade at all. It’s just snake oil salesmen larping as traders
They rely on private sales, undisclosed advertisements, insider knowledge, or pumping & dumping alts to make $
When called out they preach "positivity".
Translation:
If there's one thing you should learn from me, it's that nine out of ten people on crypto Twitter (CT) can't trade at all. They're just snake-oil salesmen pretending to be traders.
They make money through private sales, undisclosed ads, insider knowledge, or pumping and dumping altcoins.
When called out, they preach "positivity."
Author comment: Solid advice—and still relevant today.
Kaleo
Original:
IT'S OVER... for the bears.
Clean retest. Plenty of noise around ATH breakout as expected.
I like it. Just keep stacking.

Clean retest. Lots of noise around the all-time high breakout, as expected.
I like it. Just keep stacking.
Author comment: Actually, it was over—for the bulls.
Udi
Original: STOP SELLING THE COINS YOU POORS
Translation: Stop selling your coins, you poor bastards.
Author comment: (Narrator voice): In reality, they didn't stop selling.
Michael Saylor
Original: "He who works all day has no time to make money." - John D. Rockefeller on #Bitcoin
Translation: "He who works all day has no time to make money." —John D. Rockefeller on #Bitcoin
Author comment: He just kept endlessly posting bullish takes on Bitcoin.
Easy
Original: January 1st - ETH 6,942. It's programmed.
Translation: January 1st—ETH at $6,942. It's programmed.
Author comment: Well, that didn't happen. Though Easy never specified which year—so maybe the prophecy can still come true?
Mayne
Original: Still in a bull market. I'm scoping out places to buy the dip so I can later sell the rip as we blast thru $70k.
Translation: Still in a bull market. I'm looking for opportunities to buy the dip so I can sell the rip when we blast past $70K.
Author comment: Catching the falling knife.
This post serves as a reminder from 2021:
Twitter feeds at all-time highs look insane. If even the smartest people can't sell at the top, neither can you. Plan accordingly.
