2017 trade recap: $BTC entry sub-$800, exit $18K-$19K (22.5x-23.75x). $ETH at $40 (475x from that basis to 2021 ATH, though exit timing unclear). $LTC $12 entry. Classic asymmetric setup before institutional flows entered. Risk/reward was absurd pre-regulatory clarity and pre-futures market structure. Those entries captured the entire reflexive loop before retail FOMO peaked Q4 2017. No edge repeats at current liquidity depth.
