What if you buy crypto every time it's advertised on billboards in Times Square?
A quite illustrative pattern has emerged.
— XRP
$1,000 → $6,000 at ATH → currently around $2,200
— FLOKI
Scenario 1 (September 2021):
$1,000 → ~$10,955 (≈11x) → currently ~$955
Scenario 2 (March 2025):
$1,000 at the peak → currently ~$100
— DOGE
You could have made nearly $15,000 if you entered early
— SHIB
Advertising as an invitation to provide liquidity for exit
Result: −$918
— APU
After appearing on billboards (June 2024):
$1,000 → $2,517 → $51
— SUI
$1,000 → ~$500
— PENGU
$1,000 → 17,361 PENGU → currently ~$722
Potentially a strong candidate for a rebound
Out of 7 coins, 5 provided an opportunity to profit after the advertising appeared.
The simple conclusion: advertising ≠ entry point. More often, it’s already the middle or the end of the move.
But as a hype indicator — it’s a fairly effective story.
