- Bitcoin Had Its Time. Now It’s Ethereum Turn.
Let me break it down for you.
2024 was Bitcoin’s year.
It did a 4x,
It grabbed the headlines,
And it set the stage.
But now?
2025 belongs to ETH.
The Case for Ethereum’s Rise
$ETH is no longer just a “second-best” asset.
It’s the backbone of DeFi, NFTs, and most on-chain innovation.
When Bitcoin pumps, it starts the show.
But when Ethereum pumps, it leads the charge for ALTS.
Here’s what’s about to happen:
$ETH Breaks Out
Ethereum sets the trend. Once it starts moving, it will suck liquidity from Bitcoin, and all eyes will shift.Alts Will Follow Fast
Altcoins will rotate quickly after $ETH starts gaining dominance.You’ll see DeFi tokens pumping 5x.
AI coins going 10x.
And even random microcaps doing 50x in a single week.
The Final Rotation
This is the key part. After Ethereum finishes its run, the altcoins will have their moment.
But then?
The show ends.
Why This Isn’t a Forever Game
You might think, “The market always comes back.”
And while that’s true long-term, cycles have a clear rhythm.
After Ethereum and the alts pump:
Whales will begin to exit quietly.
Liquidity will drain from the market.
And many coins will retrace 80%-90%.
The people who made the most money?
They’ll be the ones who knew when to get out.
The Rotation Playbook
Here’s how to play it smart in this final act:
1. Watch $ETH Dominance
When Ethereum starts gaining dominance over Bitcoin, it’s the green light for altcoins.
Look at the ETH/BTC chart.
If ETH consistently outperforms BTC, the rotation is happening.
2. Look for Sector Leaders
When altcoins start pumping, focus on the strongest narratives.
DeFi: Projects like $AAVE and $UNI.
AI Coins: Tokens with actual utility, like $AGIX.
Layer 2 Solutions: $ARB and $OP could lead the pack.
The first movers in each sector will give you a clue where capital is rotating.
3. Time Your Exits
Don’t marry your bags.
When $ETH completes its run and altcoins start going parabolic, it’s time to think about profit-taking.
Here’s an example:
In 2021, Solana ($SOL) pumped 50x.
Then, smaller Solana ecosystem coins followed, pumping even harder.
But within weeks, the market crashed, leaving retail traders holding the bag.
Back in 2021, I watched ETH lead a similar charge.
Ethereum pumped from $1,200 to over $4,000.
DeFi coins like $UNI and $SUSHI followed with 10x moves.
Then, meme coins like $DOGE and $SHIBA went absolutely parabolic.
By the time retail traders caught on,
the market peaked, and everything retraced.
I saw friends go from $500k portfolios back to $50k overnight
because they didn’t know when to get out.
The Final Act
This isn’t just another bull run.
This is the last leg of the cycle.
When ETH pumps and alts follow, it will feel euphoric.
But don’t let that fool you.
The smart traders will already be planning their exits.
The ones who stay too long?
They’ll get crushed in the aftermath.
How I’ll Keep You Informed
I’m here to guide you through this.
When to ride the ETH pump.
Which altcoins to rotate into.
And most importantly, when to get out.
You don’t have to guess.
I’ll tell you when it’s time to move.
This is the final act. Play it smart.
