👋 Welcome to the Calm Before the Storm...

Have you ever stood on a beach just before a wave hits?

The air gets heavier. The sea pulls back a little. People get quiet.

That’s how the crypto space feels right now.

If you’ve been around during a bull market before, you’ll recognize this energy. If this is your first time, welcome. You’re here at the edge — before the next crypto bull run begins. And this time, let’s not just survive it… let’s ride it.

🧠 What Even Is a Bull Run? (For the Curious Newbies)

Before we go any further, let’s define it simply:

A bull run is a period when crypto prices rise rapidly and continuously over weeks or months, pulling in attention, new investors, and projects like a magnet.

But more than the price charts, it’s a social phenomenon:

• People suddenly become crypto experts overnight.

• Memecoins with no use cases start doing 50x.

• Artists, gamers, athletes — all launch tokens.

• YouTubers start making “top 5 altcoins to buy NOW” videos daily.

It’s hype, madness, opportunity, and chaos all rolled into one.

🕰️ Remember the Last One? It Changed Everything.

Back in 2020–2021, crypto was everywhere:

• Elon Musk tweeted dog emojis and Dogecoin pumped 400%.

• People were flipping profile pics (PFPs) for six figures.

• Celebs like Snoop, Paris Hilton, and even McDonald’s joined NFT Twitter.

• DeFi summer made yield farming the new side hustle.

And yes, a lot of people made life-changing money —
but a lot also got burned.

I was one of the ones stuck somewhere in the middle. I didn't sell the top. I chased a few shiny coins. I held too long. But I learned, and that’s why this next cycle matters more.

🧩 What Triggers a Bull Run?

Contrary to the belief that it's all hype, bull runs follow patterns. Here are the most common triggers:

📉 1. Bitcoin Halving

Every four years, Bitcoin’s block reward halves. This reduces the number of BTC miners can earn, creating supply shock — usually followed by a bull run within 6-18 months.

🗓 Next halving? It already happened in April 2024. Tick, tock.

💸 2. Market Sentiment & Liquidity

When global economies stabilize or central banks lower interest rates, risk-on assets like crypto thrive.

We’re entering that window again. Slowly, but surely.

🧠 3. New Tech & Narratives

Every cycle has a story:

• 2017: ICOs

• 2020: DeFi

• 2021: NFTs

• 2025? Could be AI x Crypto, DePIN, real-world assets, or even on-chain social networks.

New narratives bring new eyes. And new money.

💬 What Am I Doing Differently This Time?

Let me be real with you.
Last time, I tried to chase the pump. I jumped into projects I didn’t research. I ignored red flags. I didn’t take profits. I was emotional.

This time, I’m focused on discipline.

Here’s what I’m doing:

✅ Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) into BTC, ETH, SOL, AVAX
✅ Reading whitepapers, not just Telegram hype
✅ Watching on-chain data, not influencers
✅ Spending time on long-form content (like this) to sharpen my views
✅ Looking at infra plays (L2s, bridges, AI tools) instead of just memecoins

I’m also using platforms like Publish0x to document my thoughts, track progress, and earn while doing it.

🔍 7 Early Signals the Bull Market is Brewing

If you’re wondering if we’re already in the early phase of the next run — here are your hints:

1. More devs are building (check GitHub stats).

2. Funding is returning to crypto VCs.

3. Friend.tech-style apps are creating new social layers.

4. Base and Blast are booming with on-chain experiments.

5. Mainstream brands are quietly entering Web3 again.

6. Google searches for "crypto" are slowly rising.

7. On-chain activity is up — wallet creation, stablecoin flows, etc.

No fireworks yet — but the matchstick is in hand.

🧠 Don’t Just Watch — Build Your Bull Run Blueprint

A bull run can change lives.
But only if you treat it like an opportunity, not a lottery.

Ask yourself:

• Am I just here to flip coins… or to understand trends?

• Do I want to invest… or create?

• Can I share my perspective… or amplify someone else’s?

Now is the time to start building:

• Write on-chain content

• Start your Web3 blog

• Learn about tokenomics

• Join early Discords

• Make smart bets — not YOLOs

If you wait until the headlines are everywhere again, it’ll be too late.

🧘‍♂️ Final Thoughts: This Time, We Play Smarter

Crypto is still wild. It’s still unpredictable.
But it’s also full of second chances.

If you missed the last bull market, this is your early access pass.
And if you were here before and made mistakes — this is your redemption arc.

Let’s not just talk about making it.
Let’s learn, write, share, and grow — together.

📌 I’ll be posting regularly here, sharing thoughts, experiences, and strategies as we inch closer to the next wave.

The future is closer than you think. 🐂
