Gold is now just $12 away from $5,000 — setting new records and rewarding patience.

Meanwhile, $ETH is still trading around the same level it was back in April 2021.

Five years of building, upgrades, narratives… and price still feels stuck in time.

That contrast is exactly why sentiment across crypto feels heavy right now.

TradFi assets are flying. Crypto conviction is being tested.

But markets don’t move to reward comfort — they move to punish impatience.

Periods like this are when long-term positions in $BTC , $ETH , and high-quality ecosystems quietly get built… before attention shifts again.

Depression usually shows up near bottoms.

Euphoria shows up near tops.

The cycle doesn’t ask how you feel. It only asks if you stayed.
