sport football: Where’s the FOMO?

Where's the FOMO?

I couldn't even use the restroom in peace. I was hounded everywhere I went.

Strangers stalked my children on social media. People screamed at me to get my attention on the streets of London, New York City, and Lisbon.

Everywhere I went, a crowd formed around me.

The year was 2017, and bitcoin was fast approaching a new all-time high of $20,000. Everyone was obsessed with bitcoin.

And who could blame them? Thousands of my subscribers were getting rich off the bull market.

For example, a woman from Tennessee turned the little savings she had left – about $12,000 – into $1.2 million in just 18 months.

A couple from Ohio turned $10,000 into $330,000. And they said they'll now be able to retire without a mortgage.

And another guy who had zero experience with crypto was able to turn a handful of $100 investments into $1 million.

The excitement in the air was palpable.

Newly minted bitcoin millionaires created a popular meme called "When Lambo?"

The meme calculated how many bitcoins you needed to buy a top-of-the line Lamborghini Huracan.

I read one story about an Atlanta-based computer coder who paid 45 bitcoins to buy a $200,000 Lamborghini. (As an aside, those 45 bitcoins could buy 20 Lambos today.)

The FOMO (fear of missing out) was real. Even Lamborghini announced it hit record sales in 2017, with dealers reporting a spike in purchases made with bitcoin.

I saw similar FOMO during the 2020 bull market when bitcoin crossed $60,000.

During that cycle, over 4,000 crypto wallets hit $1 million in value, and more than 2,000 wallets minted upwards of $10 million each day.

You read that right… Bitcoin was minting over 4,000 new millionaires per day. Many of my subscribers were part of that group, as well.

At the same time, crypto executives were making blockbuster real estate deals.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong purchased a $133 million estate in Bel Air… Moonpay CEO Ivan Soto-Wright plunked down $38 million on a waterfront home in Miami… And Polychain CEO Olaf Carlson-Wee bought a Hollywood Hills mansion for $28.5 million.

Friends, that's what real FOMO looks like… Yet, here we are, breaking out to all-time new highs well above $100,000, and the world is yawning.

Just last week, a record $2.75 billion flowed into bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs). And just yesterday, the President of the United States' own company, Trump Media, announced it's buying $2.5 billion worth of bitcoin.

Again, where's the drama? Where's the hoopla? Where are the crazy headlines?

Where's the FOMO?

It's nowhere to be found. And that, my friends, is WILDLY BULLISH.

When you have massive moves to all-time new highs on massive buying and zero FOMO… It tells you we have far, far more to run.

I've gone on record calling for at least a move to $150,000 on bitcoin this year.

But if we keep moving quietly along at this slow-and-steady pace, we could hit $150,000 before the end of August. And if we're still not seeing signs of FOMO by then, we could hit $250,000 or more this year.

Let me walk you through what I'm seeing that has me crazy bullish right now.

Massive Upside Still in Front of Us

According to The Block, U.S spot bitcoin ETFs brought in $935 million last Thursday. That's the most in a single day ever, eclipsing the previous record set on January 17.

How do we know there's no FOMO behind this record-setting buying? You can tell by looking at the Crypto Fear & Index, which sits at 66.

Now, compare that to the first time bitcoin crossed $100,000 back in January of this year. You can see in the chart below the index peaked at 84, which signals extreme greed.

In late 2024, bitcoin was a runaway freight train. It went parabolic between November 2024 and January 2025. You had to chase bitcoin if you wanted to buy some.

This time, the move higher has been much more orderly. Bitcoin has been having powerful multi-day rallies, then taking a pause before beginning its next leg higher.

This is a telltale sign of a sustainable rally.

You have to remember that sustainable rallies can go to incredibly high levels without going parabolic (straight up).

Gold is a perfect example of this. Since the end of 2022, gold prices have doubled.

Gold literally went from a $10 trillion market cap to a $20 trillion market cap, and it barely made a ripple across global headlines.

To put that move in perspective, gold added the value of three Nvidias in just 30 months. And it did it quietly, with zero FOMO.

The same thing is happening with bitcoin. People are ignoring it. The press is obsessed with tariffs and the latest moves in the Mag 7 stocks. No one outside of hardcore bitcoiners is paying any real attention to bitcoin.

And that lack of FOMO is creating a huge opportunity in altcoins. That's because once the euphoria stage kicks in (and it absolutely will), altcoins will go ballistic to the upside.

The Biggest Money Will Be Made in Altcoins

Friends, bitcoin has hit the highest levels on a closing basis in its history. And yet there's no FOMO.

We haven't seen headlines of folks selling everything and going all-in on bitcoin… We haven't seen headlines about young bitcoin millionaires buying luxury cars… We haven't seen headlines about crypto execs making blockbuster real estate deals.

It's been the quietest rally I've ever seen.

So unless the world has changed and people don't go into speculative fervors anymore, it suggests a parabolic move is in front of us.

And anything that is bullish for bitcoin is 10x more bullish for the altcoins.

In 2017, bitcoin rose as much as 1,945%. But a handful of altcoins I recommended that year like Monero (XMR), Ethereum (ETH), and Neo (NEO) were up as much as 2,340%, 8,984%, and 49,800%, respectively.

During the 2021 bull market, bitcoin climbed 2,106% from December 2018 to November 2021. Over that same span, my readers had the chance to see gains of 36,602% on Binance (BNB) and 6,121% on Chainlink (LINK).

More recently, after I predicted President Trump's re-election victory, we saw bitcoin run up 68% from November 2024 to May 22 this year. Altcoins I recommended last year like ai16z and Virtuals Protocol have been up as much as 826% and 932%, respectively, since then.

Now that bitcoin has broken its all-time high again, I believe it's paving the way for a new crop of altcoins to surge.

As soon as bitcoin notched its new records, several of my recommendations started to run and gun higher, too. And the kicker is they'll benefit even more from the coming FOMO.

I recently held a special briefing about this subsector of altcoins, called "payout" tokens. You can watch a replay right here.

During the briefing, I gave away a completely free recommendation. It's a coin that's trading under 50 cents right now… So there's a lot of upside potential.

I need you to understand just how measured bitcoin's move to triple digits has been.

I need you to understand that we haven't seen real FOMO yet.

By the time people realize what's going on, the altcoins in this tiny subsector of the crypto market will trade at multiples higher. And the window will be closed.

Friends, when the reality of all this latent demand for bitcoin kicks in… The move higher will be parabolic. It will be utterly insane. And it will leave you breathless.

So click here to watch the replay of my special briefing before the FOMO becomes real again.
