Bitcoin's legendary four-year cycle — is it actually dead this time?



We've all heard the pattern: halving, bull run, crash, repeat. Clean. Predictable. Profitable if you timed it right.

But what if that playbook's expired? Market structure's different now. Institutions are in. Regulations tightening. Macro factors hitting harder than ever.

Some traders still swear by the cycle. Others? They're calling it hopium.

So where does that leave BTC? Are we entering uncharted territory, or just experiencing a delayed rhythm? The debate's heating up — and honestly, nobody has a definitive answer yet.

Is the four-year cycle dead? Forget it, institutions entering the market are the real game changer.

Is the four-year cycle dead? I don't think so. It's just that institutions have entered the game and changed the rules.

Is the four-year cycle dead? I doubt it. Institutions entering the market have definitely changed things, but these old retail investors are still reciting their mantras, clinging to hopium, right? Haha, anyway, I won't be sticking around for the answer.
