The table doesn’t show TRX outperforming BTC across a full market cycle. It only shows TRX having stronger percentage moves inside certain bull years, which is normal for smaller, higher‑beta altcoins. Cycle performance is measured peak‑to‑peak. BTC has made new macro ATHs in multiple cycles (2017 → 2021 → 2024). TRX hasn’t broken its 2017 high once in nine years. Year‑to‑year volatility isn’t cycle outperformance — it’s just altcoin beta. If an asset hasn’t broken its previous cycle high in nine years, it didn’t outperform — it just survived
