Crypto YouTube just went eerily quiet.
Views on major crypto channels hit a 5-year low, and retail interest is fading fast 📉
If you measure the market by vibes alone, this is what a bear looks like. Views on popular crypto-focused YouTube channels have dropped to their lowest levels in five years. Fewer thumbnails, fewer shocked faces, fewer “THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING” moments. Silence.
Analysts are already calling it: retail interest is slipping, attention is moving elsewhere, and the market feels tired. When even YouTube stops rewarding crypto content, you know something has shifted.
But here’s the thing I’ve learned over the years: hype leaves before value does. Retail disappears when prices stop moving vertically. Content creators slow down, audiences get bored, and suddenly crypto feels… uncool again. That’s usually when builders keep building and long-term players keep accumulating.
Every cycle has this phase. Empty comment sections, declining views, and that strange calm where nobody is trying to sell you dreams anymore. C’est souvent là que ça devient intéressant.
Bear markets don’t scream. They whisper. And only those who listen stick around 🐻
