How to Dominate a Bull Market

How to Dominate a Bull Market

I’m writing this because I’m increasingly optimistic about what’s ahead.

We work with some of the biggest players in crypto. Many of them quietly influence how the entire industry moves. And I can always tell when they’re preparing for a breakout.

Right now, those signals are showing up again.

This is how you dominate when the market turns.

1. Don’t forget the thesis.

In a bull market, attention becomes your most valuable asset.

Everyone will try to take it from you. The market gets louder. Narratives multiply. And the pressure to do everything all at once hits a peak.

But here’s the truth:
99% of people leave bull markets without real gains.
The 1% that win?

They stick to one thing.

The temptation will be to chase every new token, trend, or opportunity.
But a jack of all trades is a master of none.
And a man who chases many rabbits catches none.

Pick your lane.
Own it.
Ignore the noise.

2. Your infrastructure is your leverage.

This is where most people get exposed.

In a bull market, everything you’re doing will scale up whether you’re ready or not.

If you're a founder, demand will 10x.
If you're a trader, hours in the seat will 10x.

If you're building anything in crypto, the pressure compounds.

Most people don’t fail because they’re bad at what they do.
They fail because they didn’t have the systems in place to handle scale.

At Arcadia, we’ve spent the last 7–8 months rebuilding the foundation.
Tightening ops. Hiring intentionally. Deepening relationships.
So when the time comes, and clients want to pour gasoline on the fire, we’re ready.

Most aren’t.

3. Take profits early and without emotion.

This seems obvious. But when you’re in the heat of the run, it isn’t.

You forget how bad the drawdowns felt.
You start thinking the market will never turn.
You hold too long, and it nukes.

You need to define your exit criteria before the market rewards you.
This doesn’t just mean token sell orders.
It applies to business, content, growth, brand, reputation.

Have a mechanism in place to recognize when gains become unsustainable — and be willing to stop, pull back, and protect the upside.

Final thought.

Greed will be at an all-time high.

And it won't just be about money.
It’ll be about ego. Notoriety. Reputation. Access.

In bull markets, people get corrupted — mentally, emotionally, and ethically.
They make decisions that don’t reflect who they were in the bear.

Don’t lose yourself just because the numbers go up.

Hold on to the same mindset you had the day ETH dropped 20% from a yen carry trade.

Hold on to the relationships you built when no one was paying attention.

And make sure you leave this cycle with your integrity intact.

Stay sharp.
Stay ruthless.
I’ll see you at the top.
