Raoul Pal predicts the crypto market is entering the “Banana Singularity,” a phase where altcoins surge following Bitcoin’s dominance. Despite market corrections, total crypto capitalization remains strong, fueling optimism for further growth.
This was the outcome of the EXACT same in 2016/16 vs now... chill. It's all going to be just fine. Maybe a bit lower or maybe it's done already.
Either way, higher over time. Don't expect an exact repeat but a rhyme. Valhalla waits.
Don't Fuck This Up.
