Second-order thinking in crypto means you don’t just ask: “What do I see?” Instead, you ask, “What is everyone else seeing, and what will they do because of it?” A good example is SOL after FTX went under. Alameda were huge backers of Solana, so when FTX collapsed, everyone assumed “Solana is dead forever.” For long term investors, the right question to ask here was: "Will users, devs/builders, and new investors really abandon a fast, cheap L1 forever, or will they return once the bear market and the FTX drama fades?” At the very bottom ($8), you could have done a 30x till the new top in 2025 (almost $300). Ofc, most people didn't catch the exact bottom/top, but a 10x on this play were possible for everyone. Obviously this is easy for me to say now in retrospect, but I just wanted to illustrate it with an example (I did buy SOL at $23, though). And going forward into 2026, will BTC die and sink to $40-50k within the year? Yep, it's very likely, but I am pretty sure we will see new highs again some day. Scooping up quality like HYPE in the $10-20 zone (if we get it), should be a SOL play for the next cycle.(Route 2 FI)
