2025 turned into an interesting year for crypto believers. The narrative was perfect—regulatory tailwinds, institutional adoption, strong fundamentals across major coins. Investors positioned themselves accordingly, expecting the upside. Yet here we are watching prices decline despite the bullish setup. It's that classic moment when everything looks right on paper, but markets decide to go a different direction. The disconnect between sentiment and price action leaves everyone asking what really drives movement.

Where is the institutional adoption we were promised? Now it's awkward.

Perfection on paper also gets slapped in the face—that's the crypto world.

On-chain data looks good, but the key still depends on the distribution of chips... I have already stored my private key cold, just waiting for moments like this to scoop the bottom.

All the apparent good news is just a damn front; the market loves to go against it. Who's naive enough to believe it these days?

Thinking that everything looks perfect on paper just to make money? Ha, the market isn't that simple.

Typical paper prosperity, and it gets slapped in the face by the market as soon as you turn around. I've seen this story too many times.

Is perfect on paper going to rise? Wake up, the market never follows the script.

Perfection on paper is a curse; the market loves to do the opposite, it's truly incredible.
