Prominent crypto analyst and trader Flood, who has 281,000 followers on X, has diagnosed that investor indifference toward cryptocurrency has reached its peak, presenting a golden buying opportunity. He noted a similar level of apathy to what he felt in 2019 and 2022, years when he nearly decided to leave the crypto market for traditional finance but ultimately earned significant profits. Flood added that the crypto market is currently paying the price for years of altcoin scams and deception, making it natural for investors to feel disillusioned and consider moving into the AI sector.
