Jack Mallers admits Bitcoin’s bear cycle has been hammering him hard yet he sees this raw sting as the very thing setting crypto apart from fake traditional finance systems. 🖤
Mallers claims Bitcoin pain serves a twisted purpose 🌙
In his essay posted Friday shortly after leaving Twenty One Capital he explained how these brutal dips reveal truth instead of masking it with bailouts. Mallers originally penned the piece on July 11 before resigning and planned to share it Monday but delayed until his exit went public. He confessed the company he thought he was shaping no longer matched its path pushing him to step aside while owning up to building unmet expectations.
I originally drafted this essay on July 11.

This reflection dives into leadership conviction and failure with BTC trading almost 50% below its peak the emotional weight cuts deeper than mere losses.
I am not writing this from the peaceful other side of the storm. I am still in it.

He contrasts this with governments and banks that shield poor choices through rescues while Bitcoin offers no such mercy leaving lessons unsoftened. Volatility acts as pure data exposing leverage traps and shaky models rather than hiding flaws. 🕷️
Bear markets unveil frailty instead of forging it 🦇
Reflecting on the FTX downfall in 2022 he noted the downturn simply stripped away props propping up weak players and excess debt. Past bull runs influenced his own missteps like mistaking hype for real effort during announcements at the 2022 Bitcoin Conference. His Twenty One departure tested those spoken principles when easier paths beckoned yet he stuck to core beliefs amid the grind.
Debates swirl on whether the bottom has arrived with Grayscale highlighting macro factors over old cycle patterns though some still await one final dip. Mallers skips price guesses focusing instead on how this discomfort keeps Bitcoin authentic and unfiltered. ✨ 💀 🕸️ 🌑
