A year ago we saw $19 billion liquidated in one cascade. FTX? That was $1.6 billion. The fact that crypto absorbed a hit 12x bigger than the FTX blowup and kept building tells you everything about structural resilience.
This isn't fragility — it's antifragility. The system got stress-tested at scale and didn't break. Liquidity came back, infrastructure kept improving, and capital kept flowing in.
That's why I'm loudly long-term bullish into the 2027–2030 cycle. Pullbacks like that aren't existential risks anymore — they're accumulation windows. The market that survives a $19B flush is the market you want exposure to when the next wave hits.
