numerous bear markets.
It pointed out that the flagship cryptocurrency has experienced roughly 19 major declines between 2017 and 2025. About 10 of these declines were around 25%, 6 were around 50%, and 3 were around 75% or more.
On the flip side, these declines, no matter the magnitude, were immediately followed by new record highs. Based on this trend, Kobeissi Letter stated: “Disruption is not easy, but it pays when you can sound out the noise.”
The platform described the current sentiment as a routine crypto bear market that is already nearing its end.
In a follow-up post, John Deaton noted that these bear markets are not fun to experience, but they will pass. He cited 2016 as the first time he purchased Bitcoin, recalling that he rode the holding to $19,000 in December 2017. At this point, the pro-crypto lawyer did not sell his stash. Instead, he just waited.
However, he later regretted his inaction, feeling he would have sold and bought the coin back at a lower price. Deaton blamed this experience on not being “smart enough to time the market,” which caused him to eventually fail.
