When Stocks Outshine Bitcoin: A Crypto Trader’s Tale of Regret in 2025

This part of my life is what I called being broke to the core and luck is kind of nowhere in sight and what could be more worse than being in the crypto market where all we have got is liquidation email every month

and the market isn't even going up like it should in a bull run. I kind of wish I traded off crypto for stocks before the year began

The stock market is way more better performing than the crypto and it just so frustrating because there's not a single wealth creation event happening in this space anymore.

The State of the Crypto Market: Extraction Mode

I'm not in shock why crypto is doing like dog shit because it's all happening Infront of our eyes.

What have founders, developers in this space done so far? Extracted millions, hundreds of millions and more than billion.

Binance helped made trump family extract over a billion, pumpfun extracted over a billion yet no airdrop to community. Every VC, market maker has only extracted value from the retails.

Infinite amount of altcoins are in the market, every single coin was made to extract more money from the retail.

I remember there was this quote from someone "altcoins are only created to transfer your wealth into bitcoin" means they're rugging through the altcoins and they're only buying more bitcoin which is store of value.

Stocks are outperforming bitcoin

I miss the time when we used to shit talk stock market moving 1-2% a day because crypto was doing 20% 30% move in some hours

But now the tables have been turned, bitcoin is absolutely done being outperformed by gold, every stock out there.

NASDAQ made an all time highs, spx made all time highs today, Gold is still doing better

Meanwhile bitcoin was rejected from highs it made on Monday that was 4 days ago.

It is ranging in the same place for over couple of months. Mostly sell pressure this year is from binance.

They've ruined altcoins and now onto bitcoin, the worst thing is cz getting pardon.

is crypto becoming irrelevant?

I've seen plenty of people on CT who are now trading stocks instead of crypto and all of those are happy with that decision because they're actually making money

Unlike us getting liquidated and rugged every now and then.

There's so many bullish headlines everyday but no reaction from the market, no one in stock market thinks about crypto anymore, they make joke about it.

The only bullish catalyst for crypto

I think market is being manipulated and price action is so controlled not by just binance but wall street and bankers

Wall street and these banks will rotate every money they've got to bitcoin before end of year

because there's not any tax on crypto gain in 2025 so a rally before end of year on holidays when usually we see sell off due to people tax harvesting

Might be actually time for crypto to run it back to highs. There's nothing else I can think about crypto that's bullish.

Incase you've some bullish hopium, I'd love to hear that in the comments.

that's all folks.
