0. Crypto Market & Portfolio
I believe we are currently in a bull market that will last till mid 2025. Let me explain why and then suggest a generic portfolio to potentially take advantage of this phase.
Why we're in a bull market besides an upcoming recession:
- Steady growth without retail frenzy: We're seeing upward market trends without the widespread excitement and participation typical of peak bull markets. This is characteristic of the beginning a full blown bull market.
- ETF impact: The approval of Bitcoin ETFs has driven significant institutional investment, driving prices upward. This indicates growing mainstream adoption and interest, typical of an early bull market phase.
- Anticipation of catalysts: The Bitcoin halving and Ethereum ETFs are creating positive sentiment and expectations for future growth.
- Absence of extreme euphoria: While there's optimism, we're not seeing the excessive hype and FOMO associated with market tops, this suggest we're still in an earlier phase of the cycle.
- Most indicators, including the Pi Cycle Top Indicator, show positive momentum in the current market, but they do not suggest we’re at the top of the cycle yet. The Pi Cycle Top Indicator historically signals tops when there’s intense retail euphoria and overbought conditions.

These are ideas how a portfolio could look like. None of this is financial advise. Do your own research. I bought all of these crypto assets for my personal portfolio.
Low Risk Portfolio:
- Bitcoin (BTC) - 60%
- Lower risk profile due to its established status and ETF approval
- Potential for steady growth as institutional adoption increases
- Ethereum (ETH) - 20%
- Medium risk with high potential upside, especially as ETH ETFs are approved
- Yield-bearing through staking (current yields around 3-4% APR)
