Wertheimer frames his case through an exhaustive retrospective on Dogecoin\u2019s 2019\u20132021 ascent, arguing that Bitcoin now occupies an analogous position. He recounts how an April\u202f2019 tweet by Elon\u202fMusk (\u201cdogecoin might be my favorite cryptocurrency\u201d) triggered an initial 50\u202fpercent spike that lulled veteran traders into distributing their bags, only for TikTok\u2011driven retail inflows to drive the meme coin from roughly $0.0025 to nearly $1 within two years. \u201cCrypto natives thought they knew it was a huge deal, but they underestimated it BY A LOT,\u201d he wrote, describing the move as \u201cthe first dogecoin mindfuck,\u201d followed by an even larger \u201csecond mindfuck\u201d once legacy sellers exhausted their supply.<\/p>\n
Transposing that template onto Bitcoin, Wertheimer insists that \u201cthe real move didn\u2019t even start yet.\u201d He claims that traditional capital\u2011market participants\u2014embodied for him by BlackRock\u2019s iShares Bitcoin ETF (ticker: IBIT) and Michael Saylor\u2019s MicroStrategy\u2014are blind to earlier cycle highs because they measure performance from the January\u202f2024 ETF launch or in dollar\u2011notional terms, respectively. Referencing IBIT price surge from $30 to $70, Wertheimer says: \u201c\u2018It\u2019s only up $40! That\u2019s nothing! Why not $700?\u2019 […] They\u2019re completely insensitive to the bitcoin price,\u201d he adds of treasury\u2011based buyers, arguing that such entities simply \u201cshove as many dollars as they can.\u201d<\/p>\n
On price targets, Wertheimer is explicit: \u201cI have a high degree of confidence that we\u2019ll see $400k by the end of this year. This target might be too conservative.\u201d He further predicts an additional order\u2011of\u2011magnitude revaluation once \u201cthe entire world starts to believe,\u201d echoing Dogecoin\u2019s second\u2011wave frenzy. \u201cWe\u2019re just entering the first mindfuck,\u201d he writes.<\/p>\n
The thread reserves particular ire for competing crypto assets. \u201cYour altcoins are fucked,\u201d Wertheimer declares, suggesting that short\u2011lived spurts of outperformance will not match the \u201csheer amount of capital flowing into bitcoin.\u201d He singles out Ethereum as \u201cthe biggest loser of the cycle,\u201d forecasting that MicroStrategy\u2019s equity capitalisation could surpass Ether\u2019s market value and arguing that persistent selling by \u201cold bagholders\u201d will cap any relative rally. \u201cETH\/BTC will continue to print lower highs,\u201d he predicts, adding that incoming treasury\u2011style buyers would need \u201cyears\u201d to absorb legacy supply before Ethereum can stage a true breakout.<\/p>\n
In a direct call to action, Wertheimer tells readers that \u201cyou will actually be able to retire off of 1 bitcoin,\u201d urging immediate accumulation and warning that waiting for price dips is futile now that \u201cold holders are out.\u201d He closes with a plea stark in its simplicity: \u201cWall Street is buying all of the bitcoins\u202f\u2026 please buy some bitcoin before there isn\u2019t any left.\u201d<\/p>\n
Wertheimer\u2019s thesis hinges on the notion that seller\u2011exhaustion dynamics proven in a small\u2011cap meme coin can translate, mutatis mutandis, to Bitcoin\u2019s vastly larger market. Whether that analogy holds will be tested in the months ahead; for now, his post has sharpened the fault line between long\u2011term Bitcoin maximalists and a broader crypto community still weighing the merits\u2014and risks\u2014of what he calls \u201cthe first mind\u2011fuck\u201d of a potentially epoch\u2011defining rally.<\/p>\n
At press time, BTC traded at $118,686.<\/p>\n
