- A crypto content creator said that retail investors don’t pay attention to the crypto market until it shoots up.
- Miles Deutscher highlighted that views on his content skyrocketed only during the final phase of the market.
- The analyst emphasized that successful trading is about maintaining a profitable overall strategy.
Crypto analyst and content creator Miles Deutscher took to X (formerly Twitter) to voice his irritation with retail traders who overlook market opportunities during downturns but rush into the space once prices surge.
Deutscher, who has produced crypto-related content since the 2022 bear market, recalled that his videos once averaged 50,000 views but dropped to only 10,000 views per video when crypto interest declined.
Missed Opportunities and Market Timing
During that period, he highlighted several undervalued investments—like Solana (SOL) at $12, Ethereum (ETH) at $1,100, and even meme coins like PEPE before its rally—that went largely unnoticed as the wider retail audience remained disinterested.
As the crypto market bounced back in 2023–2024, investor interest surged again. Deutscher observed that his video views jumped to 80,000 per day, but only during the final 10% of the market’s upward move. He noted that many retail traders entered late, skipped risk management, and eventually incurred losses—only to later complain about being “rekt.”

Retail Trading Flaws and Lessons Learned
The analyst pointed out a major flaw in retail investing: traders chase hype instead of spotting early opportunities. He explained that content creators can deliver 20 successful market calls, but if the 21st call results in losses, they get singled out despite their overall track record. Moreover, since most views peak at the top of market cycles, more people tend to jump in at poor times, suffering losses.
Deutscher stressed the importance of proper position sizing and long-term gains over expecting constant wins. “Even a 51% strike rate can make you stupidly rich if your position sizing is correct,” he stated, implying that early market entry is key, while late entries often lead to financial setbacks.
