Do yourself a favor and stop comparing this cycle to prior cycles.
Bitcoin is highly likely in a supercycle.
The crypto industry has just experienced its most dramatic change in history, a fundamentally driven 180 degree turn.
The industry went in weeks from a barely legal pariah detested by the state, to one of the top industries embraced by the state.
The change is so extreme it's hard to find comparables in modern times.
Maybe gold in the 1970s is one.
The 1970s was a transformative decade for gold. Nixon's ending of the Gold Standard in 1971, dismantling Bretton Woods, sent gold surging from $35 per ounce to $850 in 1981.
Expecting a major local top around March does make sense, as I've covered in prior posts.
This would be heavily dependent on the slope of ascent, funding rates, and the broader economy. But one should not equate a major local top with the beginning of the bear market.
Maybe we do get such bear market. Anything is possible. But the conditions for it are not yet there.
It's also too soon to be expecting a top. Bitcoin bull-runs always last for many months. It's only been 33 days since Trump unleashed the Kraken.
@lovethewired@00xSEV it is but solidity makes the semantic distinction between literal bytes and literal integer so you can't use one instead of the other without going through casting gymnastics
