There never was a 4 year cycle. Bitcoin has experienced a small number of historically specific regime shifts that happened to *sort of* line up near halvings. And you all lost your minds. Study Taleb. Lessons in there.

“It is sort of backward to say that it has become too expensive to live in Los Angeles. Los Angeles made itself illegal.”
