The main conflict in the crypto market during each cycle is basically: The ever-growing harvesting demand of the sickles versus the severe shortage of supply from the leeks. The reason why the profit-making effect gets worse with each cycle and making money becomes harder and harder is because the harvesting intensity of the sickles increases with each cycle, but the supply of leeks can't keep up with the harvesting demand. If you don't make money in crypto by 2025, I hope this explanation can bring you some comfort.
