Why Q4 Will Be A Time Of FOMO In Crypto
The average gain BTC made in Q4 2020 was a whopping 88%; if BTC decides to replicate that in Q4 2024, BTC will be at $120k; this may sound like hopium, but believe me, it isn't; if this cycle is anything like the last one, BTC will hit over $100k at worst, and close to 120k at best.
Now, I believe that the majority of these massive numbers will come in December, while October and November will only see a slight increase; however, even if we do not see that 88% gain, and this cycle decides to underperform and not match what we saw in the previous one, we may see BTC at 100k.
Now, there are reasons why this cycle may underperform, and we must not ignore them because they are valid, which is why we should always discuss worst-case scenarios. However, are there any reasons why this cycle will be better than the previous one? Yes, the spot ETFs.
Personally, the ETF is at the heart of this cycle, and what it primarily does is inflate and pump numbers, which may not be particularly healthy, but for 99% of people in this cycle, anything that pumps the market outweighs decentralization or anything crypto intrinsically represents.
We saw this when BTC broke its previous ATH before the halving, then took a serious dump and nearly destroyed the alts.
However, we have yet to see an altcoin season, and many people believe that because of this delay, we may not see one. Guaranteed, the alts are performing really late and are taking time to come to the party, but September has shown a sign of the numbers that altcoin could potentially do, and somehow people are beginning to change their minds.
SPS
Let us return home for a while.
I remember 4 to 5 months ago when SPS was being destroyed and people were panicking; the way it was dipping, anyone could have predicted it would go to zero, but here we are today, and SPS is doing phenomenal numbers.
Now, while I do not want to say it is entirely due to Matt and the boys in charge, I do believe that the market's positive momentum has helped to turn things around a little. This is exactly what the market does. A positive market boosts confidence.
People do not always lose faith in a project because it is no longer exciting; rather, a negative market creates the illusion that the project is dead. I am not saying Splinterlands was declared dead; rather, I believe many people lost faith as a result of the team's numerous poor decisions and the fact that the price of their assets continues to plummet.
I bought SPS in cents a few months ago and kept doing so until I ran out of money. Now my inner spidy sense is saying to me "if you had bought 200$ worth of SPS you would be in some serious profit", but then my other sense replies, "where could I have gotten 200$?", and then the other one replies, "I do not know, you idiot maybe anyhow, applied for a bank loan or borrowed the money, sell later and pay back"
The Market Maths
This is the type of math the brain does when the market finally recovers and you regret not getting more.
In reality, many people in early 2025 will hate themselves for not purchasing the coin they thought was dead, or they will resent themselves for selling when they should have been piling.
Q4
Q4 is just 5 days away, and by November/December, BTC would have been doing incredible numbers. Why care so much? This is because this is when alts regain their value. As I used to say, the market pumps everything in its path, and instead of predicting which coin will perform best, it is time to start accumulating.
Now, I am terrible at following my own advice because I have exhausted my financial position for personal reasons, but if you have been reading my posts, I believe it is time you start making some risky market decisions, or you will be left behind.
Personally, I believe that the latter part of Q4 will be a source of regret for many people, as they will have reached a point where it is financially difficult to enter the market.

Interesting!!!
Your jagons are whining my head boss!!🤣🤣
Thanks, it's part of the lingo you're used to when you're into crypto.
Yess!!
That's the difference between we both, knowledge.
Thanks boss for sharing, I hope it will serve me a good source of information someday.
I would really love me some hopium right about now😂
That monologue was wild af too. You sure you're not losing it, man?😂
Wooordd, man. I've been holding on to the little I could buy watching the market go choppy for months. Quite honestly, I've been looking at throwing in the towel and leaving with the little profit I have in hand, but the idea of not haven sold when the profit was much better in the hopes that it'll get even better with time is a constant dilemma for me. I have a strong conviction that the market will do better in the coming months, but I've this same strong convictions for most of the months that preceded this one, so I don't even know.
Everyone would love some hopium at the moment, and it's good to give it back to back since Q4 is almost here and things are looking exciting.
Believe me, that monologue is almost everyone who will potentially regret not holding or buying especially when they had the means to actually do so.
200$ as I used in that example always seems like a lot but it might just seem too little when the market has done and continue to do unimaginable numbers.
I'm sorry you've seen some really terrible dips, good news is, you might just be in profit in the coming weeks/months and even better by the end of Q4
This is the hope I'm hanging on right now, honestly. "Just be patient for a few more months, and then cash out". Lol
You've definitely gotten funnier since the last time I talked with you. I need a piece of whatever you've been having.😂
Which assets did you put cash into or which are you mostly holding? Maybe I might do some predictions or and analysis for you?
I put everything on Solana. Lmfao, you're probably going to tell me that was stupid, but even I know and did it anyways.😂😂
SOL is a very good bet, I would hold on to it...
Haha, I'll take this as a sign :)
Oh my goodness, Solana? I don't know man, I won't say it's a stupid decision, I'll only say you have to study the trends and look at Solana's performance from last market cycle to really know what's up.
Hmm okay. I'll go back to do some checks. If you have any news or articles that might point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it though.
I cannot wait for Q4! It's been such a long bear market that finally seeing it turn has been fantastic. Love the analysis here and I agree 100%!
Thanks, we all cannot wait. SPS might have begun what's coming in the next few months for the Hive ecosystem, we can never truly tell.
Let's hope you are right and we have a great 4th quarter. For me my portfolio looks approximately like this:
ETH 49%
BTC 42 %
SPS 5%
SOL 2%
ADA 1.5%
HIVE 0.5%
That's not bad at all. Congratulations for being well positioned
Q4 will be great in my opinion too, but 2025 will be fantastic. Not the full 2025 though, as will will have the top some time during the year, probably in the second part.
Well, I'm thinking that by October 2025, the bull market will already be over, so maybe the market might just peak around that time and begin to decline
I am still holding my 1k sps , lolz..I see that it's recovering gradually and same to other alts. At a point, I thought that the bull run won't happen again this time, but I never dumped any of the tokens I purchased
The fomo is real...I am buying more hive.. don't want to be left out!

If it follows historical patterns it will indeed be a great time to be in early. Buying in while chasing the market is a great way to lose money. But good old FOMO is not a good a friend at all.
I hope SPS continues to strengthen, and I hope Splinterlands pulls a nice recovery. We both have a lot of assets in the game!

It's hard to enter the market and the economy is also rough. There isn't much people can do right now as money is tight. I do think that there are still gains, but the gains won't be as high. I do think that December makes sense. At that point, the election will be over and there won't be as many outside factors dragging things down.
