We had this cycle, which means no altcoin bull market, and most working-class people believe the is too high.

Market Cap
MicroStrategy’s stock has slipped below the value of its own Bitcoin holdings, which is a rare break in the company’s long-running premium. With BTC stabilizing around $102,000 earlier in the week – and now slipping toward $96,000! – Wall Street has briefly decided the underlying coins are worth more than the equity wrapped around them.
The move comes days after famed short-seller Jim Chanos, who called the Enron collapse, closed his MSTR position, dismissing the firm’s extreme Bitcoin leverage as “ridiculous.”
People were paying like 3x NAV at the peak, right?
