Bitcoin Technologist: Bitcoin reaches its full potential through continuous base-layer improvement that enhances scalability, usability, privacy, functionality, security, integrity, and compatibility as needs and threats evolve.
People still think (or feel) because Bitcoin is down crypto is down.
Derivatives/perps, stablecoins, prediction markets, etc are all up in crypto.
Crypto touches every area of finance, and is much broader than Bitcoin now. It will take some time for this to sink in.
(And yes - Bitcoin is going to do great and is as important as ever - one of many cycles we've all been through.)
I think the only way to break the 4 year cycle is for something to legitimately challenge bitcoin, take eyes off of bitcoin, something to have incredible success on a global scale while bitcoin does nothing. If this doesn't happen, we will just continue to trade cyclically with bitcoin.
