I’m going to take my time with this one. If you’re busy, save this post and read it later. If you’re a night owl like me, this is a good late-night read. Do you know the worst thing about Cristiano Ronaldo? It’s that he set the standards for what defines a legend… and in the end, he couldn’t even live up to the standards he created himself. After winning Euro 2016, Ronaldo said: “You can’t become a legend until you win a trophy with your national team.” It was an obvious dig at Messi. Argentina had just lost the 2014 World Cup final to Germany, and Messi was going through the toughest period of his international career. Those words only added fuel to the fire. Where was the respect for a rival, Ronaldo? The surprising part was that social media completely embraced that narrative. Messi was labeled a bottler, while Ronaldo was declared the winner of the rivalry—at least in the media, not on the pitch. Then Messi retired from international football, came back, won the Copa América, and suddenly they were level in major international trophies. What happened next? Ronaldo fans started saying that one Euro is worth more than a hundred Copa Américas, claiming there was no competition in South America. Not true—but that became the excuse. Then Messi went on to win the World Cup. This time, the excuses changed again. They claimed FIFA had fixed the tournament for Messi. That the World Cup was scripted in his favor. They simply didn’t know what else to say. Then Ronaldo himself came out with one of the strangest quotes imaginable: “A legend’s career can’t be defined by just seven games.” At first glance, it sounds reasonable. But beneath it was another attempt to diminish what Messi had achieved. Before the World Cup, they insisted it would be Ronaldo’s tournament. On paper, Portugal had a fantastic squad. If the manager couldn’t get the best out of them, that’s Portugal’s problem—not Ronaldo’s. Yet that same Portugal squad wasn’t any weaker than the Argentina team Messi led to the 2014 World Cup final—the same team people mocked Messi for not carrying to the title. Just a couple of days ago, Ronaldo said: “The World Cup doesn’t define my career, whether I win it or not.” A statement that directly contradicts what he had said years earlier, when he admitted that winning the World Cup would make him feel completely fulfilled. Now you’re 41 years old, Cristiano. By your own standards: * You have 5 Ballon d’Ors, not 8. * You have one European Championship, not two Copa América titles. * You never won the World Cup. * You have four European Golden Shoes, while Messi has six—even though you’re an out-and-out striker. So what now? Will you keep playing until the next World Cup and become the first player to appear in one at 45, hoping to finally win it? If we judged you by the standards you created, you wouldn’t qualify as a legend. Of course, nobody actually judges you that way. Everyone still recognizes you as one of football’s greatest legends. The real mistake was comparing Ronaldo to Messi in the first place. That rivalry was exaggerated from the beginning by the media and figures like José Mourinho. Messi conquered every major trophy available to him, shattered records that once seemed untouchable, and at 39 years old he’s still competing with Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland—the stars of the next generation—for the Golden Boot. And honestly, he could still win it. What made Messi beloved by so many fans is that he never tried to diminish Ronaldo’s achievements. Ronaldo, on the other hand, repeatedly made comments that many interpreted as attempts to downplay his greatest rival’s accomplishments—and that’s never an admirable trait. Cristiano helped create a generation that thinks belittling other people’s achievements while constantly glorifying your own is a way to establish dominance. Good bye. Ronaldo.

PSA for anyone who may benefit from this, pinning this tweet, so that any naysayers and pseudo traders can refer to this 12-14 months from now. 💠 Crypto bull market is over, ended October 2025 when Weekly MACD crossed over 💠 Right now in a Wave B bounce, having completed the Wave A correction to $80,000. This bounce can take BTC back up to $105,000 - $115,000, new ATH unlikely but not ruled out, before entering into a much deeper and much longer Wave C correction ending at around $65,000 💠You are better off saving in XAU / USD (Gold) as it is not yet done with the cycle and any correction is an opportunity to go long for a target of $4400 - $4800, maybe even 5k 💠 S&P 500, SPX, has also completed its Wave A drop, and is now in its Wave B up, which can bounce up to 7000 - 7100, confirming an up move for all markets including Crypto, after which it will enter it's Wave C, at which point it will be Armageddon for Bitcoin because it is already bouncing off the monthly crossover which signals the death knell. Alts will be absolutely massacred. Stronger ones like $ETH, $SOL, $ZEC will survive. 99% of traders are better off just selling the bounce and shutting your machines till mid or end of next year. For those who have the minerals, expect vicious short covering and violent drops alike. Great time to be alive. Timeframe: 1-2, maybe 3 months for bounce and sideways, followed by 4-8 maybe 12 months of painful bear market. Worst case scenario for BTC is only around $30,000, give or take. Likely should find better support around the $50,000 - $60,000 range. At this point, sell your house, sell your family, sell your extra organs, because Bitcoin will begin its move to $1 million, which means $ETH, $SOL, $ZEC can retire you. My bet is on $ZEC, right now in the middle of a Wave B bounce up to 550-600, maybe 650, before it heads to goblin town and we can all scoop up large supply at $250-350 range. You're welcome. 💙Shields up.
