A retrospective on crypto influencers' bold claims during the 2021 market top reveals stark contrasts—some eerily prescient, others hilariously off-mark.

Ansem
Original post: "If this market doesn’t nuke soon, my trading intuition is broken."
Author’s take: "Timed it perfectly—almost scarily so."

CZ
Original post: "Don’t worry about competition. It will make your industry bigger, which in turn helps you. Embrace it!"
Author’s take: "'No need to fear competition'—bro accidentally spoiled the plot." (FTX collapsed a year later.)

Smolting
Original post: A bizarre metaphor comparing market closes to a "cum-soaked, sleep-deprived sponge."
Author’s take: "Honestly, I have no idea how to interpret this."

Cobie
Original post: Joked about making a clickbait video titled "How I became a billionaire in 5 years averaging 3 sober days a week."
Author’s take: "Still waiting for that 'butler’s butler' update."

ThreadGuy
Original post: "What the hell does OpenSea spend all their money on?"
Author’s take: "Asked the real question."

Beeple
Original post: "FUCKKKKKKKK"
Author’s take: "What did he know??"

Gainzy
Original post: After an 8% BTC drop: "We deserve a bounce to $100K for this mild inconvenience."
Author’s take: "BTC then fell 70% over two years."

ZachXBT
Original post: Exposed CT "traders" as snake-oil salesmen relying on pump-and-dumps.
Author’s take: "A timeless truth—still applies today."

Kaleo
Original post: "IT’S OVER... for the bears."
Author’s take: "Turns out it was the bulls who were over."

Udi
Original post: "STOP SELLING THE COINS YOU POORS."
Author’s take: "(Narrator: They didn’t stop selling.)"

Michael Saylor
Original post: Quoted Rockefeller: "He who works all day has no time to make money."
Author’s take: "The man only knows one tune: Bitcoin maxi."

Easy
Original post: Predicted ETH at $6,942 on January 1st: "It’s programmed."
Author’s take: "The ‘program’ glitched. (Though they never specified which January 1st...)"

Mayne
Original post: "Scoping out dip buys to sell at $70K rip."
Author’s take: "Caught the falling knife."

The crypto bull market’s peak was a frenzy of polarizing takes—a few sharp warnings (like Ansem’s), but mostly blind optimism or outright comedy (Gainzy, Kaleo). Even the "experts" failed to time the top.

This thread serves as a reminder: Market tops are emotional minefields. If the brightest minds couldn’t escape the hype, neither can you. Stay rational.
