Been about 3 months since I first hopped into CT. Feel like I’ve aged 2 years since so I thought I’d reflect on this wild ride so far. I’ll prob look back at this like a nostalgic grandpa if I make it through this cycle
Everyone is asking: "Is Jane Street why Bitcoin isn't at $150k?"
As expected, the answer is trickier than the question. But it's also more structurally unsettling than the conspiracy theory itself—and once you understand the actual mechanics, you won't be able to unsee them👇
@AxelAdlerJr Curious how to interpret the CVDD line related to the BTC price? An increasing gap means more hodling? And was 5x used because it most closely fitted to the price tops?
@lepuppeteerfou Thanks @lepuppeteerfou 🙏 I’ve been here for a bit, Opium was my gateway into Ordinals! But was saving this lil guy for the rocket ride to 🌎☮️🚀
@FarmerJoe0x@aixbt_agent Yeah, but I’m still trying to figure out if it’s just spitting out takes it sees on the timeline. Like, if some bot spams the TL with some outrageous claim, would @aixbt_agent amplify it?
The next big crypto trade is hiding in plain sight: Bitcoin Assets🧵
Looking at historical volumes, we haven’t hit February-March rally peaks—even with the memecoin trade on Bitcoin.
Ordinals & Runes have high convexity when real volume returns. 10BTC daily volume is NOT it.
Remember: in a bear market, collections like Nodemonkes & Bitcoin Puppets saw over 100BTC/day.
The action will return, and it’ll be bigger than expected. This time, no mempool sniping issues—orders will fill smoothly.
Ordinals: Months of accumulation far below previous highs. Bull markets favor PFP communities.
Runes: CEXs now supporting spot/perps + high dev velocity = long-term token standard growth.
Tokens like $PUPS, $DOG, $WZRD trade 90-95% below top tokens on other chains. Few are talking about Bitcoin memecoins outside Bitcoin CT, except for believers like @theunipcs, who’s been right before.
The choice is yours…
Believe and hold or chase Sol/ETH memecoins like everyone else?
Waiting for the crypto narrative to align isn’t easy—but if you can, you’ll be on the right side of this trade.
BITCOIN UPGRADES HAPPEN IN BULL MARKETS
AND THEY SET THE TONE FOR THE FOLLOWING CYCLE
HERE’S WHY
open a bitcoin chart and look at when the last bitcoin upgrades — segwit and taproot — were activated
that’s right: in the 2017 bull run and in the 2021 bull run
4 years apart
in the middle of a halving cycle
shortly after US elections
surely a coincidence right???
🐱🐱🐱
it happens because during bull markets attention on bitcoin grows exponentially
upgrading bitcoin is hard and requires everyone’s attention
when the market rips, all eyes are on us. ancient bitcoin whales wake up. devs who left come back. exchanges are racing to acquire users. institutional investors read bitcoin twitter
all the energy in the world is focused on the orange coin and everyone wants to know: “what’s next”?
🐱🐱🐱
in 2017 segwit disappointed the market and resulted in “the lost bitcoin cycle”, where bitcoiners became obsessed with lightning (now considered a dead end) and everyone else moved on to other chains
ethereum attracted the disillusioned devs and bitcoin started lagging for the first time
🐱🐱🐱
taproot in 2021 was an interesting upgrade, at first it looked like another wasted upgrade, but then Casey Rodarmor discovered taproot accidentally enables ordinals and inscriptions.
builders and degens from all over the crypto ecosystem stormed the bitcoin chain. it was at the perfect timing too, with BTC hitting cycle lows and all the new ordinals degens getting their first BTC exposure at ridiculous discounts.
the stigma about bitcoin being a laggard was demolished, bitcoin season 2 took over, and the degens are now the most active onchain users and sitting on huge profits.
they’re ready for the next stage.
🐱🐱🐱
if you’ve been here before, you can see the signs
builders are showing up
technical bitcoin conferences happening every 2 weeks instead of every 2 years
miners asking all the right questions
protocol devs whispering
can you see it anon?
🐱🐱🐱
the starts are aligned.
all eyes are on us.
what will we make of this cycle?
how will we leave our mark?
🐱🐱🐱
OP_CAT will fulfill the prophecy and turn bitcoin into the financial behemoth satoshi wanted it to be
bitcoin memecoins will print green candles like solana jeets have never seen
defi will exist on bitcoin L1 where it belongs
and bitcoin self-custody will scale to billions of new holders
this is OUR cycle
this is OUR turn
MAKE IT COUNT
🐱🧙♂️
