§ Preset · Buying through the bear
$100 a week from the cycle top
On 10 November 2021, bitcoin reached $69,000 and didn't see that number again for two years. The buyers who started that week are the canonical example of catastrophic timing. This run is what their stack would look like today, deployed at $100 a week without alteration. They bought through the LUNA collapse, the FTX implosion, the November 2022 capitulation, and every false bottom in between. The schedule didn't care about any of it. The output is the answer to "what if I started at the worst possible moment."
