Three Reasons Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency Traders Lost This Cycle | by RJ | The Capital | Mar, 2025
This Bitcoin cycle has been a rollercoaster. We’ve seen the highs, we’ve seen the lows. We all got to see another Bitcoin cycle. Also another round of traders getting wrecked.
There were few who made life-changing money. Some with Bitcoin while others with insane meme pumps and insider information.
But while some people made that life-changing money, most ended up losing — or at best, breaking even.
Many have complained that alt-season hasn’t come.
So the opportunity to make money just hasn’t been the same. But this is only half true. Many major alt-coins had did have significant pumps since January 2023:
- Bitcoin up over 500%
- Ethereum pumped 250%
- XRP pumped 600%
- Solana pumped over 2900%
- TRX pumped 800%
And these are only some of the best in the top 20 coins.
So to say that opportunities were non-existent and that alt-season never came aren’t entirely true.
True these numbers are nowhere near the returns seen in previous cycles, but they’re still significant. As such, most people didn’t fail to make gains because alt-season didn’t come.
