So Btc was kind of crabby last 13 months more than it was a bull or a bear.
While silver and gold were bullish last 13 months.
Details and context matter. You are likely to come to wrong conclusions and perhaps even react in ways that are NOT to your advantage if you think that you are stating facts that are very materially important.
I WOULD ARUGE this was summer of 2019 rally more than a bull for 2025
2026 should be fun
I am not sure the point that you are trying to make.
April to July 2019 was a suprise recovery in which bitcoin shot up from $4,200 to $13,880 with 3 months and then corrected back down to around $7k-ish.. with some other sideways bouncing within the $7k to $11k range until we got our March 2020 correction down to $3,800... and then subsequent correction out of that unusual March 2020 liquidity event situation.
How would those dynamics reflect what might happen in 2026? You seem to be just throwing out random guesses and hoping that something might make some sense?
I am not proclaiming to know what is going to happen in 2026, even though I continue to view that we have not yet gotten knocked out of the bitcoin bull market that started in late 2022 and really was not confirmed until late 2023 - at the same time, there seem to be quite a few BIGGER players who have recently entered into actively having an interest in trying to exercise some semblance of control over bitcoin price dynamics, which surely doesn't even tell us how bitcoin prices are going to end up in the next 3, 6, or even 12 months - even though surely in the past few weeks I have been losing some conviction in regards to whether I am going to be able to win in my LFC bet - which does not really matter so much in terms of my own pocket book, even though we are likely going to end up in quite questionable territories if 2026 ends up playing out as a negative year, even though we are starting the year off at ONLY around $87.5k-ish...
Too bad that we could not have finished this year in the green, but it is what it is, and each of us has to figure out if we need to change any of our current strategies, and it seems that not too many of the longer term bitcoiners in these here parts are likely to be selling around these prices, unless it is just for here and there expenses.. or unless they are getting shook by these kinds of uncertain times in which we seem to find our lil selfies.
It's new year in my country.
Wishing everyone out there a very happy and prosperous year.
Bitcoin will surly continue to grow in 2026.
Thanks WatChe. Happy new year to you and your family, too.
Happy New Year Folks
Happy new year to all troll shills too.
It looks like you have some recent trolling competitors, you dweeb.
I feel the usual 4 year cycles are dead from now on
We had an ATH but this should have been a green year. In addition we now have 2 of 4 red years, when it was always just one.
Happy New Year everyone!
Welcome to the club.
The question is do we act like gold did 1992-2002
Stay in a 200-400 slot and now it is 11x bigger.
So does btc do 75k-135k for 6,7 years than go to a million around 2033?
6 , 7 was intentional You could ONLY wish Philip.
I have a lot of doubts, and hopefully you are not putting too much money on your doomy gloomy same dumb thoughts that you have had about bitcoin since around 2012. You will continue to have fun staying poor with those kinds of thoughts, even though sure, there might be a 10% or so chance that you could be right, this time.

feeling-wise, I was in the club for the last months already, I just needed the confirmation of 2025's end.
Yep. Confirmation in, to the extent that questionably relevant calendar years matter in the whole scheme of things. It is good that you waited to confirm rather than just presuming the outcome as so many guys seem inclined to do, especially since the closing price of around $87.5k is not really a large distance from the $94,380 year opening price.
I think BTC moves faster than Gold so I don't see 7 years of sideways. But 1 million in 7 years sounds realistic.
It is not that it moves faster. Bitcoin is around 1,000x better than gold or more and bitcoin is also in quite early stages of adoption.. so that gives bitcoin a couple of advantages over gold.. including that it is way easier to take possession over bitcoin, to the extent that folks do not continue to be so dumb as to contract away their rights to self-possession of the bitcoin that they buy.
How we get there will be the interesting part. The question is, as it has always been, how quickly people understand to a sufficient degree what Bitcoin really is, that includes leaders of big companies and countries.
I mostly agree with you about the people figuring it out, yet there are likely some folks inside of governments, institutions and status quo rich who already sufficiently understand what bitcoin and so they are both fighting it and also spreading misinformation to convince normies that it is also in the interest of normies to fight against bitcoin... So the information is going in both directions.. More people are continuing to learn what is bitcoin, and a decent number of people are believing and/or accepting that it is not in their interest to know about bitcoin and/or to get involved in bitcoin.
Also we need to sort out the shit that is going on with the OP returns now and after that the quantum stuff.
I doubt that current internal battle is really very materially important, even though there are likely going to continue to be internal governance kinds of battles and surely there are likely some PsyOps that are involved on both sides of the current OpReturn battle. And, by the way, I don't really claim to understand the current battle very well.. it is a bit confusing, so I might be misunderstanding its importance.
I am fresh out of ideas as to what to expect
...except...happy New Year!
I try to not expect anything so I don't get disappointed
That is a pretty good approach, yet if we are too neutral, then we might not have had been able to hold onto our coins as long as we have. Accordingly, I think that HODLers tend to still have expectations even if they are general and just directional in their nature and characteristics.

If the 4 year cycle is dead it will have to start following macroeconomics more closely.
That is not true.
People have been trying to make the various stock market correlation arguments for years, and sure there are likely some folks trying to contain bitcoin in those kinds of ways, yet many of us (including yours truly) are likely skeptical of the likelihood of success of such attempts to "capture" bitcoin as the powers that be have such a hard on to achieve.
Bitcoin can't follow stocks because it has no news to report about things like acquisitions, executives, patents, etc., and it definitely has no earnings, revenue, EBITDA or other financial metrics for analysts to report on.
Well duh.
At least you have figured out some matters.
You heard that bitcoin is a new asset class too? paradigm changing? Have you ever heard of that?
It's hung out in the breeze much like gold, silver and copper.
Bitcoin is not encumbered by physicality. Have you ever seen or held a piece of bitcoin?
I recall once having to explain to one of my relatives (who has been hearing me preach about bitcoin since about 2014) that bitcoin does not have a physical component, since apparently my relative had gotten in a bit of a spat with another (supposedly less informed relative) about what bitcoin "mining" means.
That means more focus will be on the big miners, financial institutions, governments and companies pertaining to how many coins they have taken out of circulation...
You think so? Do you think that there might someday be some questions regarding the extent to which some companies and or governments have the coins that they claim to have?
Happy New Year to everyone! Hoping you have a healthy, prosperous and peaceful year.
Happy new year to you to.. bot
Person wannabe.. hahahahahahaha
(you wouldn't want to imagine that I would want to slip some kind of a "dig" in there?)
