The 100-Pound Weight That Just Fell Off Crypto’s Back

You did everything right. And they punished you for it anyway.

You followed the research. Read the bullish headlines. And positioned yourself in bitcoin and high-quality altcoins.

After the launch of the first bitcoin ETF… the election of a pro-bitcoin President… and the passing of the GENIUS Act… everything was lining up for a bull run for the ages.

Bitcoin soared to an all-time high of $126,000 in October 2025. Ethereum got as high as $4,956. It seemed like the sky was the limit for this asset class.

Then it all came unglued. Bitcoin has plunged as much as 52%. Ethereum has fallen as far as 65%. Altcoins got hit even harder.

If you’ve held through that drawdown, you might be cursing me out right now. I don't blame you. Holding through the FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt) is one of the hardest things an investor can do.

This is my third time going through this. You should know that 2018 and 2022 were worse. Much worse. The current drawdown is unpleasant – but not uncommon. In its history, bitcoin has dropped 50% or more as many as 10 times.

All disruptive assets go through a similar period of intense volatility. It's truly the admission price for the opportunity to make life-changing gains.

Here’s what I want you to understand: You didn’t do anything wrong. Instead, you and I were the target of the greatest conspiracy in financial history.

What we now know is that Wall Street’s war on crypto never ended. It went underground – into the dark, windowless committee rooms of Washington, D.C.

And it’s creating massive volatility in the crypto market. But all of that is about to change. A recent historic ruling just pulled the rug from under this conspiracy.

I’ll get to it in a moment. Before I tell you what it is, let me unmask the conspirators keeping a lid on crypto prices, hoping you sell your assets to them at a discount…
