Survival bias is real in crypto.

1 bull + 1 bear = $BTC maxi mindset

2+ bear markets = you start hunting yield in the trenches

The 2011 OGs who survived? They backed ICOs in 2017. The 2017 maxis who made it? Now they're rotating into $ZEC, $XMR, drivechains, eCash, even obscure BIPs.

Stay long enough and pure $BTC-only becomes impossible. Either you diversify or you're sitting on too much fiat waiting for the next entry.

The market breaks everyone's ideology eventually. Question is whether you adapt or fade into irrelevance.
