Normie sentiment check.

Any texts, phone calls or out-of-the-blue comments about Bitcoin from the normies around you yet?

>>60630518 (OP)
zilch

>>60630518 (OP)
It's all dead.

I think all the action is in IBIT.

Nothing. Radio silence since Q2 2021

>>60630518 (OP)
zero. back in january/february I'd hear people talking about crypto and subtly joking about buying coins. now it's absolutely bone dry, haven't heard a peep in months.

I travel a lot and found that the best sentiment checker is signing up for bar crawls. 30+ drunk normies from all over the world and all walks of life who’ll happily share their true feelings about Bitcoin.

As of july this year, 80-90% of normies are still stuck with 2022 doomsday headlines in their heads and equates Bitcoin to NFTs. 10-20% of normies have seen Bitcoin ATH headlines and are beginning to develop early symptoms of FOMO

Sounds similar to december 2020 then.

With the same normie-inflow timeline Bitcoin is likely to top out in October followed by a couple months of altseason until the dumbest people you know are all-in on dogshitcoin69 and exit liquidity dries up

I had one guy told me in april that he bought xrp close to the top in winter. Besides that, nothing at all. There is zero hype in cryptocurrencies.

I’m starting to get meme coin screenshots but only what’s available on robinhood

>>60630518 (OP)
No one has ever brought it up in conversation. I brought up bitcoin at work once, one of my coworkers started crashing out, calling me retarded and saying how anyone who invests is stupid because you can never know if it’ll go up or down. Actual visible anger in his face.

>>60630613
That's great. How long ago was this?

Europoor here. No hype here either. Nobody IRL ever mentioned crypto or Bitcoin during the last months. Last time BTC was somewhat discussed was around January, when Trump was inaugurated. Last small hype was Q1/Q2 2024

For newtards who dont understand why anons worry about normies buying crypto: they are the dumbest money in the world and will serve as your exit liquidity. When they arrive and start buying in size, the end is near. The fact that they havent arrived yet means that the bullrun still has a lot of runway left

>>60630518 (OP)
0

>>60630533
Late night talk shows are also a great normie indicator.
If they mock crypto, the bottom is close. If they’re silent, the bullrun is in progress. If they praise crypto, the top is close

>>60630518 (OP)
There were a bunch of threads on /pol/ over the last two days. They don't normally discuss BTC at all. Seemed to be a mix of /biz/raeli level gloating over getting rich and /pmg/ level autistic shrieking about how it's worthless.

Google trends agrees with us, btw. Just a small spike so far, which still might disappear in the usual noise.

>>60630596
>Bitcoin is likely to top out in October followed by a couple months of altseason
Nope. Corporate and ETF inflows are enough to drive the price up by 5X right now. And all the interest is in BTC, not in "crypto".

We aren't going to get another massive crash because this time the custodians are highly regulated Wall Street firms like Blackrock and Fidelity, not offshore Jew-run shitcoin casinos like FTX.

>>60630619
Yesterday. One of my coworkers has 1k eth 1k btc, he has been holding since 2021 but too scared to invest more even though he has like over 500k to invest. So was asking him about his feelings

>>60630630
Opposite works too. If they know you have some association in btc they'll say "I heard bitcoin crashed a lot are you okay" out of the blue. Perfect bottom signal.

>>60630630
>normies ... are the dumbest money in the world and will serve as your exit liquidity.
What is this word "exit" of which you speak?

I'm selling 0.01 every couple of weeks to fund my life, but I'm not "exiting".

>>60630660
>actually this time is different
Every time.

Just wait. My guess is one of the companies running Bitcoin reserves as their sole business model will overleverage themselves near the top and then blow up during the first major crash, kicking off another downward spiral

last december my brother asked if it's late to buy (100K)

last weekend a couple that lives in amsterdam asked my gf if she could ask me if it's a good moment to buy bitcoin

normies are starting to notice

>>60630518 (OP)
Yes unironically ath sentiment. Dad and in laws mentioning stable coins and BTC. Boomers are going to get roped in hard because they are so greedy then dumped on. I give it approximately 2 weeks.

>>60630812

This is indeed worrysome. Last time I saw such signals was 4 years ago.

This comment says it all. In before:
> how do you know he is a normie
The guy's name is literally Simple Rick.

Crypto retail Golden year was 2021. All normies had pockets full of money, minds free of any critical thinking and nothing to do.

Normies aren't flush with disposable cash like they where the last few cycles. You can't pump a bullrun without normie liquidity. The NFT bullshit form last cycle along with cryptofags being insufferable cunts did a lot to ruin the space's reputation and scare normies away who previously only new about crypto as the casino that was early DeFi.

>>60630812
Go look at the /biz/ catalog in late december 2020 or early january 2021. There were already screencaps being posted from social media of some of the dumbest people on the planet talking about buying "bitcoin stock".

The top isn't in when the first wave of normies arrive. Your dad is part of the first normie wave, but there are many more to come

>>60630682
Well they "blew it" with ftx
Now they understand how to apply leverage to manipulate the price wherever they want
Expect a lot of "unexpected" shortfalls from investment firms that crashes the price on either flash crashes to flush retail positions and/or prolonged big crashes to enable them to corner the market (like they did with PMs)
We are firmly out of the 'fair game' model and dealing with real psychopaths now
Buy btc
Buy xmr
Buy any pow desu and do *not* hold for long periods in cex. The blowoff from this run is going to be crazy, and the manufactured dump, followed by the excessive propaganda, is going to be crazier. Don't let the banks win, frens

Anyone know normies who got burned and forever hold an irrational hatred against crypto?

I have a friend who sold at the bottom of the bear market in 2018, and still refuses to buy back in despite BTC doing a 50x since then. He gets visibly upset every time crypto is mentioned.

Still all quiet on the Texas front. Will report in if anything changes.

normies only begin to FOMO when their normie friends pull out their phones and show their gains. jealousy is an insanely powerful emotion and will override all their preconceived notions. and when their greed makes them lose money once again, they will go right back to calling it a scam rather than coming to terms with the fact that they are idiots who are slaves to own their greed

>>60630856
>>60630915
Now it's cause they read it on CNN and stuff. It wasn't in the news back then, except as some wacky thing.

>>60631054
did you live in a cave in 2021v ask any AI to find the total number of bitcoin related news articles among the largest news outlets for january 2021 vs june 2025 and you’ll find that january 2021 had 3-4x more articles

>>60631110
>some wacky thing
Now they report the price right next spy like it's routine finance. Boomers pick up on that subtle legitimatization.

>>60630518 (OP)
Nothing. No one gives a shit. Its incredible

>>60630630
LMAO
Crypto will never go through another hype cycle. That's what cryptotards don't understand.

I had some crypto discussion forced on me by some disgusting fucking weirdo at the weekend. Was having some drinks in a beer garden and some custom bugatti pulled up at the corner so was obviously notable. The driver was obese and got out then took off his watches and jewellery and messed up his hair a little bit then went to some nearby hatchback then pretended to be getting out of that instead, moaning loudly as if it was hard to get out of and pretending the shut the already closed door. He came over to us and asked if he could chill waiting for his friends to come. He started with a put on working class Tennessee accent but by the end of the sentence his russian accent had already come out. We went back to our conversation but he immediately interrupted with 'bylatt' and said he couldn't wait for crypto to take off so he could get rid of his piece of shit car pointing at the hatchback that someone was getting into. He said he had a complete gem that was going to make him rich but we had to promise to buy $1000 each before he told us. We said no but being an obnoxious crypto bro he immediately told us anyway saying it was chainlink and said now we have to buy $10,000 each as we agreed. We told him to fuck off so he got up and he went to some pickup and pretended to get out of that then went up to some other group.

>>60630518 (OP)
I was going to get lunch yesterday, walking back to my place. I passed some guy wearing a black t shirt, didn’t get a great look at him. But further behind him was a nerdy looking beta male. “Hey man!” he said to the guy in the black t shirt “You an XRP fan?” Sure enough I turned around and on the back of the black t shirt was a giant XRP logo.

Never heard that sort of shit in the street before

>>60630754
Is it a good moment though? My biweekly dca will go through in a few hours, I’m thinking of pausing it, exiting and reentering a bit later when we go down a bit. I’m afraid it just goes up and I get sidelined though.

>>60630518 (OP)
Nothing, the average person is a brokie in 2025

>>60630876

TikTok was the cringe year-old Musicly rebrand in 2019, it was controlling minds in 2021

>>60630518 (OP)
No and it won't happen until kim kardashian has bitcoin written on her tits in an instagram photo or trump runs around the white house with a bitcoin flag. normies just don't care about charts and prices because they couldn't buy a full coin at $10k and they can't buy a full coin at $110k so it doesn't make a difference to them. Until hype is at the mainstream peak, like in rap songs or taylor swift talking about it, nothing will happen. Or maybe someone at the superbowl halftime show has to say "yo yo yo cut the music" and just talk about bitcoin for a second. Normies are THAT demoralized by losing everything in 2021. It will need the most obvious top signal of all time just to get any media attention.

>>60632300
and the marketing can't just be from a company, it has to be from an outside influencer that isn't directly being sponsored, which is the hard part. normies will see through any #ad or paid promotion

anyone that says "normies are too broke" is slightly misguided. yes normies are broke but if you make them FOMO hard enough they will go in debt for whatever it is.

>>60630529
this

>>60630518 (OP)
Normies don't matter anymore, they can't even afford 0.1 btc.

>>60630665
>1k eth 1k btc
youre telling me your coworker has $122M in crypto yet hes a wagie like you?

>>60632508
I think he means 1k of fiat in ETH and 1k of fiat in BTC

>>60630518 (OP)
I see lefties seething about Bitcoin and Crypto more than ever before.
Otherwise, no.
A little back in November after the election. Buddy of mine was excited about the Trump win and brought up bitcoin which he had just gotten into.
Nothing since.

>>60630518 (OP)
nigger only 7% of the humanity invests on crapto just relax lol

>>60630518 (OP)
Not a single peep.
Dead silent.

During the The last bullrun.
My uncle asked me how to buy DOGE coin.
My uncle is a 70yr old welder who can't use a computer.
That was the top signal.

>>60630533
I have been staunchly committed to DCAing since 2020 and now hold 5 BTC

If i need to make a purchase i swap it for xmr

>>60632508
You really are a dumb shit
I swear the people who come here now are so fucking stupid

>>60635284
Unfortunately the 3rd world has a rapidly increasing % of internet coverage

>>60634808
THANK YOU ANON
I"M SO DUMB WHY DIDNT I THINK OF THAT

>>60635298
Very noticeable

>>60632508
I thought the same thing because the original post is fucking retarded but I just used common sense and figured it's 1k of fiat into both BTC and ETH

>>60634139
>I see lefties seething about Bitcoin and Crypto more than ever before
What are the lefties saying?

>>60630660
>not offshore Jew-run shitcoin casinos like FTX
Yeah just the onshore ones you listed lol. This argument is so backward. You think tradfi will make BTC always up, but traditional financial markets crash all the time.

>>60635480
Who cares?
If they see somebody having fun or being successful, its in their programming that this fun or success was TAKEN from a less privileged class and they'll have to screech about it by making up asinine headcanon

>>60631776
Wow. Nashville is so cool. Just wow.

>>60630518 (OP)
Sometimes I really wish I could be a normie so I wouldn't have to worry so much about all this, you know, look at the shido chart for an hour and then go work out, play basketball or something, enjoy my life a little.

>>60630596
>you know are all-in on dogshitcoin69 and exit liquidity dries up
That was a once in a lifetime diamond-encrusted bullrun brought about by a economic perfect shitstorm, you will never see that shit again in your lifetime, you missed out buddy

>>60635480
The actual thought leader leftist types are mostly trust fund kids that are all in on globohomo. They hate crypto because they are authoritarian elitists at heart, and crypto allowed poor white people to get rich. There’s nothing they hate more than poor white people

>>60630613
That screenshot....hoooly shit this is that Ayaka that english speaking japanese or whatever show from more than 15 years ago lol. (i know cause i saved those ancient YT vids to my harddrive in the earlier YT days)
