The Truth About the "Prophecies" of Crypto Influencers – And the Lesson for 2025

During the hot growth phase of the market, especially in 2021, most crypto influencers made confident statements. However, looking back from 2025, we can clearly see that the majority of them did not actually “call the top” as they are currently claiming. In reality, many of the statements were only reasonable in the context at that time, but completely incorrect when the cycle ended.

1. 2021 – When Everything Seems Reasonable Bitcoin and altcoins are experiencing strong growth → creating a feeling of “no possible losses”. Even the cautious voices are becoming more optimistic than usual. From today’s perspective, we see that many of the statements at that time only contributed to inflating excessive confidence.

2. 2022 – The Collapse of the Pink Stories When the market falls freely, liquidity disappears in the blink of an eye. The firm assertions from last year suddenly turn into a “joke.” Nevertheless, many influencers today claim that they warned ahead of time, even though the actual evidence shows otherwise. To understand the real picture, I have gathered their statements from that time and will analyze their meaning for the 2025 cycle.

3. Typical Examples from 2021 Michael Saylor quotes Rockefeller: “Those who work all day will not have time to make money,” implying that holding BTC is better than working and saving in USD. → Reinforcing the belief that BTC is the “asset of the future.”

CZ (Binance): “Don’t worry about competition.” → Sending a signal that Binance is too strong, the exchange market is becoming increasingly concentrated, creating a feeling of invincibility.

inversebrah: “Observe the daily close…” → A satire on the community’s extreme obsession with each daily candle, reflecting the dominance of short-term sentiment.

zachxbt: “9/10 people on Crypto Twitter don’t know how to trade.” → One of the few honest voices, pointing out that most make money from advertising, private sales, and pumps, not from actual trading.

CryptoKaleo: “IT’S OVER… for the bears. Just keep stacking”. → Expresses absolute confidence in the bullish trend, encouraging continuous buying.

udiWertheimer: “STOP SELLING THE COINS YOU POORS”. → This statement reinforces FOMO psychology, making retail investors fear missing out on opportunities and hold on despite risks.

4. Lessons for 2025 The market will be noisy again as before: grand predictions, shouting to buy and sell, and widespread FOMO. No influencer is a “prediction saint”: even the most famous ones in 2021 often made mistakes at the peak. The most important thing is personal planning: not relying entirely on the words of others, but based on one’s own analysis, discipline, and risk management strategy.

5. Conclusion The history of the crypto market shows: Growth is always fast and strong, Declines are always unexpected and ruthless. Listening to the opinions of others can be helpful, but investment decisions must be based on one’s own plan. The 2025 cycle will definitely create a lot of noise, many “experts”, and sweet promises. But the lesson from 2021–2022 is very clear: 👉 Those who cannot maintain discipline will be the ones to pay the price.
