It will become very clear whether the cycle theory is dead. If it is that will give us interesting and new perspectives of everything. I thought that in my earlier post that I was actually attempting to suggest that cycle theory is dead and alive at the same time.. or maybe that the existence of cycle theory is not black and white in terms of the extent to which it continues to have any influence even if it might not retain its earlier seeming dominant influential status. In other words, there could be a bit of error in attempting to suggest importance in regards to the extent that cycle theory is alive, dead or in some other status. or the extent to which cycle theory might end up losing its dominance in light of current/future bitcoin price dynamics. Regarding your "this time is different" assessment of the manipulation. There has to be some difference because the players and the tools are ongoingly changing, yet I doubt that all frameworks for looking at prices and/or price dynamics are losing their importance. In other words, large players have frequently tried to control the BTC price for as long as they can, including keeping it down as much as they can and for as long as they can. The extent to their success (or lack thereof) might give us some signs, even though many times, the manipulation is likely intended to contribute to the loss of confidence to inspire coin holders to release their coins.

Maybe it is just me but sometimes your posts come across like the opposite, statements of certainty. I have some trouble interpreting them at times. Thank you for explaining. I think that in the coming time we will be able to confirm whether the cycle theory is dead or not. The coming months are key.
I typ a lot of uncorrected stream of consciousness post's It is an intentional style as bots do not effort to copy it and when they do they make a huge mess of what they write. watch this video and you will understand why I write the way I do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMmMeajKVGMthis is what we are facing right now on a small scale just think of what it will be like in a decade notice typ first sentence left it that way even though I saw it was wrongThat's how HODL was born, so, yes, I'm with you on this. Be genuine, be authentic, whatever comes out of the KB, leave it unchanged, as long as it conveys the meaning. Sometimes I wish I could do this too, but my OCD forces me to proof-read and correct mistakes.

Price hovering around 90,000 USD which considering sentiment in the space is fairly neutral is actually quite bullish. I mean 90,000 USD would have been a dream 5 or 6 years ago. We have come a long way but the price could be so much higher & with time, it will be. Spot ETFs were not approved long ago, institutional involvement will soar over the next years. Boomers will add Bitcoin to retirement plans. Mature investors don’t have weak hands so those coins will continue to be swept up & stay off the market.
Saylor will continue to take a huge amount of coins off the market. We are at the very beginning of what I believe is the maturation of Bitcoin. It is entering true mainstream now, price will follow & I will be surprised if we don’t breach 1M USD by 2040. I am looking at 250,000 USD by 2030. We just need to keep buying, there could be a certain amount of institutional suppression going on to keep prices low whilst they accumulate but that will stop. When their bags are full, they will let it go. Look at precious metals, investors moaned for years and now they are flying. Be patient, Bitcoin is going to the moon.

You can read, no?  I was asking a simple question. Possible answers: Yes, No. Single choice. Understood? Like this I will skip on this question. Thanks for the interest though, you can communicate this way with the ETF bot. It will become very clear whether the cycle theory is dead. If it is that will give us interesting and new perspectives of everything.

The extent to their success (or lack thereof) might give us some signs, even though many times, the manipulation is likely intended to contribute to the loss of confidence to inspire coin holders to release their coins. Importance is very subjective. What I meant here that if the theory is really dead, we will interesting new stuff not that it is important in the ultimate scheme of things. In recent time many people have been obsessed with this theory regardless if they are bullish or bearish people. That is pretty uninteresting, I would like some new perspectives on the market. They will come faster if the theory is confirmed to be dead, so a bullish 2026 would do it. Price hovering around 90,000 USD which considering sentiment in the space is fairly neutral is actually quite bullish. I mean 90,000 USD would have been a dream 5 or 6 years ago.

I like this take.

I see $250k by 2030 as somewhat bearish, I think we're going to reach it sooner. But even so, I'm fine with your predictions. Even now, $90k is a dream come true to many of us entering @ $200 a coin, so, yes, a win-win in my book. Looking fwd to the future!

I second almost all of the above, but when it comes to maturity of Bitcoin, i think Papercorn isn't any step forward. And this is about the only movement towards "mainstream", but it's the opposite of almost everything Bitcoin was about. And don't dare to bring up Ordinals/Inscriptions and the recent Core vs. Knots politics. Yes, indeed, politics. It's nowhere near consensus oriented development. This might seem off-topic, but since the pandemic, everyone and his dog seem to go increasingly nuts on this planet. Everything is blown up far from anything reasonable. By the way, i also think $90k at this point of the (dead?) cycle isn't bad at all, i mean in terms of bearishness, because those of us who still want to buy more would want nicer buy prices as well. Price, anyways, is what one makes of it. Low is good, high is good. Anything between is noise we have to see (and endure) through. EDIT: Re-reading this, i'd like to point out that i meant $90k is a relatively high low. I would have expected a lower price by now, but if the cycle is still intact, this looks very bullish to me. So i redact my "in terms of bearisness" to "in terms of bullishness", to make my (bullish) sentiment more clear.

Thanks for the interest though, you can communicate this way with the ETF bot. So you put out "facts", imply some shit i didn't mean at all by asking my SIMPLE question, and now you skip on it? That is exactly what the ETF bot is doing all the time. I'm fine ending the discussion here. you're on mute ign0re (one-way edition). EDIT: based on your replies, i guess you're not European. So how would you know how Europe is like? Because you're getting brainwashed by MSM and fake news on twatter and co.? Spoiler: You can't know. You believe to know in the same way like you would believe you know how it's on Mars.

Hey, old sock  I saw your merit before your post and thought you might only come by in read-only mode. Nice to read from you again. Regarding the captcha, i have a recommendation for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VrLQXR7mKU
22 minute watch, and i hope, worth it  EDIT: Coming off a meltdown today, i don't think i'm adding much more of value to this thread tonight, so have a great time, ya'll. Do something you love and don't die. Read yours soon  I need to relax #GN

For the past 20 years, Antarctica’s ice sheet has been melting rapidly, but since 2021, it has started to grow again.
The melting of Antarctica’s ice sheet has been a major contributor to rising sea levels. Monitoring this vast ice mass is essential, and the GRACE satellite system—along with its successor, GRACE-FO—has been tracking it since 2002. As expected, satellite data showed a steady decline in ice, particularly in the western region and the Antarctic Peninsula. In contrast, glaciers in the east remained relatively stable. Between 2002 and 2010, Antarctica lost an average of 73.79 gigatons of ice per year. From 2011 to 2020, that number nearly doubled to 142.06 gigatons annually A surprising ice gain from 2021 to 2023
But recent findings have revealed a surprising twist. Between 2021 and 2023, the Antarctic ice sheet saw a record ice gain of 107.79 gigatons per year, according to a study published in Science China Earth Sciences. This unusual increase is largely attributed to two years of unusually heavy precipitation in the region.  ... https://www.climatedepot.com/2025/05/07/surprise-two-new-studies-find-ice-is-rebounding-at-both-poles-surprising-pause-in-arctic-sea-ice-decline-antarctica-sees-record-breaking-accumulation-of-ice/ =>> Surprise!

"global temperatures" are changing way more in a zone about 120° arounf the equator, because of global sea streams. Growing of ice does not mean decline in sea levels. If you know how global climate works, you also know that a year of local observation means almost nothing. At some point maybe the ice "grows" because air humidity rises with temperature and gets liquified (and freezes) the most near the poles. Put extremely simple, of course. It could well mean acceleration of global warming processes, as do other indicators. And no, a single indicator does not reflect a whole, complex system. My last 2 cents for today.

It could well mean acceleration of global warming processes, as do other indicators. And no, a single indicator does not reflect a whole, complex system.
My last 2 cents for today. True, if based on short-term indicators, it is a mistake, looking at a long-term indicator, 500 thousand years, you can see better, that every hundred thousand years there are peaks, both in warming, as well as in the cooling of the temperature. => https://www.saskoer.ca/physicalgeology/chapter/17-4-glaciations-over-earths-history/ => 17.4 Glaciations over Earth’s History We are currently living in the middle of a glacial period, though it is less intense now than it was 20,000 years ago. This is not the only period of glaciation in Earth’s history; there have been many in the distant past (Figure 17.34). In general, however, over the course of Earth’s history the Earth’s surface has been warm and ice-free for longer periods than it has been cold and glaciated.
