I have a theory about the bitcoin 4 year cycle.

The 2013 bull run was fueled by libertarians, Cyprus, ASIC miners, Gox and the Willy bot.

The 2017 bull run was fueled by individual investor FOMO, forks, and alt coin insanity.

The 2021 bull run will be fueled by Wall Street investors, hedge funds, corporate treasuries, pension funds, etc.

The 2025 bull run will be fueled by governments, central banks, and sovereign wealth funds.

2030, the dollar as we know it will be re-baselined or replaced by the governments of the world with something else. The price of bitcoin after that can't be described in dollar terms we would understand today but it should have the buying power of $5million+ in today's money and a market cap of $100trillion+.

Takeaway: Never sell all your bitcoin no matter how high the price goes. We may not have an 80-90% crash this time or next time and you would be forever priced out of the market. Don't let the bankers have them all.

The day when owning a single bitcoin makes you a millionaire is under a decade away! HODL!

Note the unconventional cAPITALIZATION!
For anyone interested in Roger Ver's "miner tax" hard fork fail today, it's currently not going well: https://cash.coin.dance/blocks/hashrate



1.36 EH/s (86%) vs 0.22 EH/s (14%). BCHA is currently trading at 0.05 (5%) of BCH and 39 blocks behind as only mined 3 blocks compared to BCHN's 42. Ouch.

I think this will be remember as "The fork that nobody cared about"


Wow... That thing shows it having NO hashrate at a point.  I have to admit this is so encouraging.



But what happens when all the miners go away? Lol.

What’s the highest price in 2020 up to now? We are at $16453, I think it is close no? Maybe we break $16500 today?

What are we going to do when bankers speak about bitcoin better than the WOers?
I saw even rockets and trains on banks' websites. The world is changing too fast for me.
Because now they are feeling its reality and no one can stop this for figure touching which brings rockets and trains on this thread. Cheesy Wink

I don't know about the prediction, but I like the reasoning about bitcoin put down by the guy. It is almost the reason why I am long bitcoin.


I hope he's right but I don't see this happening. IMO $70k-$100k max....


I did not expect the times that banks are more bullish than WO posters on btc to come around that fast....  Cheesy

Farewell o_e_l_e_o
Hi WO_gang again,

The time-series plots (charts) give you enough visual data for daily high price (in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020) and daily volume.

It has around 45 days till the end of 2020 and if history repeats itself, better things not yet to come.

But be careful with your trading orders and extremely careful if you are trading with high leverages. You can keep your greediness and wait for higher price in rest days of this year but it is not a most wisely way to take profit.

It is not my financial advice.

4 years: 2017 to 2020

In 2017 and 2020

And back to 16,300 territory. Nice to see there is a bit of support at these levels, so when it gets to 18k will people be posting double vegattas?

That was a quick turn around.
Bitcoin is back on track to contest $16,700 again just were it left off on Friday night. But then the million maga march interrupted that rally.
Although they didn't have a million there.. more like 50k Cheesy

Alternatively, even if the various bcashes were to attempt to join forces, which probably such joining of shitcoin forces would be a smarter move if any of them could coordinate well enough to figure out such a force joining strategy.. and then it could be called a unforkening.....

#Bitcoin  has decoupled from Gold. While the yellow metal has dropped after Moderna vaccine news, digital Gold (Bitcoin) continues to move higher.

Bitcoin: 21st Century Gold
By Tom FitzPatrick

  • The whole existence of Bitcoin has been characterised by unthinkable rallies followed by painful corrections (The type
    of pattern that sustains a long term trend.)


  • The first major rally on this chart as Bitcoin came into the mainstream was the exponential move from 2010 into the 2011 high
    followed by a deep correction. This is interesting for 3 reasons

    • That surge, as it came into the mainstream, was very reminiscent of what happened with Gold as it was allowed to
      float in the early 1970’s after 50 years of trading in a $20-$35 range.
    • That period with regard to the Gold price was a structural change in the modern day monetary regime as it broke
      the orthodox relationship between FIAT currencies and Gold ushering in a World of fiscal indiscipline, deficits and
      inflation.
    • The Bitcoin move happened in the aftermath of the Great Financial crisis which saw a new change in the monetary
      regime as we went to ZERO per cent interest rates (negative in some countries) and massive QE.

  • Are we on the cusp of another such structural development? A number of things come to mind in that respect

    • With the onset of a new crisis (Covid) Fiscal Orthodoxy has gone out the window (and likely rightly so for now). The
      unprecedented societal crisis that we are seeing today leaves little if any room around the World for Fiscal
      austerity.
    • The Fed (The Central Bank of the World) has given 2 pieces of very clear guidance in recent years about how
      monetary policy is being reshaped, in possibly the most dramatic fashion since the floating of Gold in the 1970’s,
      even more so than the introduction of QE in the last cycle.
    • The first guidance was before the Pandemic hit and was an assessment of the actions taken during the Financial
      crisis. If I remember the phrase correctly it was something like “better a dime today than a Dollar tomorrow”. In
      essence the conclusion was that it was better if a crisis developed to hit it hard and early rather than piecemeal
      over time- the “big bazooka” effectively. True to their word that is exactly what they did as the Pandemic roiled
      financial markets in Feb-March this year.
    • The second and (in my view) more “monumental” guidance was the indication that as the economy/inflation
      and employment pick up they will not look to constrain monetary policy in the same fashion they have in the whole
      post Volcker era. This change in monetary policy and simultaneous opening up in fiscal policy is (despite
      protestations to the contrary) MMT in all but name and a clear intention of debasing FIAT currency.

  • Historically this has been good for Gold and likely will again. However, Gold has some restrictions that also need to be noted.
    Physical Gold needs to be stored, is not readily portable across borders, has paper equivalents on exchanges that may or may
    not fully reflect the actual move in Gold and could possibly be called “yesterday’s news” in terms of a financial hedge.

  • Bitcoin is the new Gold- It is an asset with limited supply. It is digital (This is the 21st century- Gold is a 20th century asset).
    It moves across borders easily and ownership is opaque. That last point is, I believe, very relevant. The huge Fiscal deterioration
    of today has a cost in the future, either directly or indirectly. Directly it is that at some point the “bills have to be paid” which
    means at some time in the future the money needs to be found. While Bitcoin may become subject to more regulatory
    constraints going forward it is a natural store of “money” to avoid this. Indirectly the argument can be the debasement of FIAT
    currencies by creating high nominal growth and inflation (effectively a soft default- I do not believe hard default, particularly in
    the World’s reserve currency is a real concern. However in lesser currencies it could well be)

  • Central Banks are increasingly discussing digitisation of currencies: This is a double edged sword. On one side it creates a
    much more effective mechanism for distributing stimulus (particularly fiscal) but on the other side it also makes capital
    confiscation easier (eg negative interest rates). Both these scenarios would look to me to be positive Bitcoin and in the 21st
    Century give us the digital equivalent (Bitcoin versus FIAT digital) of what we saw in the 20th century when the financial regime
    changed (Gold versus FIAT paper)

  • So let us go back to the chart. After the high was posted in 2011 we saw Bitcoin retrace 93% over 5 months (not for the faint
    hearted). That was followed by a 9 year period that has been much more symmetric as Bitcoin as an asset became more visible
    and increasingly more mainstream

    • It rallied for 2 years from 2011-2013 (multiplying by an incredible 555 times)
    • It fell from Dec 2013 to Jan 2015 (13 months) by 86%
    • It rallied from Jan 2015 to Dec 2017 (2 years and 11 months) multiplying by 121 times
    • It fell from December 2017 to Dec 2018 (12 months) by 84%
    • It rallied from December 2018 to? by ? %

  • If you look at the chart below and the price action to date you could argue 2 things
    • Timeframes for the rally are getting longer (10 months, 2 years, 3 years and next 4 years? So end of 2022.) Of course in
      doing that you likely argue even higher levels as a consequence.
    • You look at price action being much more symmetrical over the past 7 years or so (while still huge numbers) forming
      what looks like a very well defined channel giving us an up move of similar timeframe to the last rally. Such an argument
      would suggest that this move could potentially peak in December 2021, at the high of the channel, suggesting a move as
      high as $318k. Improbable though that seems it would only be a low to high rally of 102 times (the weakest rally so far in
      percentage terms) at a point where the arguments in favour of Bitcoin could well be at their most persuasive ever.

  • Time will tell if we end up seeing such lofty levels but the backdrop and the price action we are looking at clearly
    suggest the potential for a major move higher nonetheless in the next 12-24 months.



I don't know about the prediction, but I like the reasoning about bitcoin put down by the guy. It is almost the reason why I am long bitcoin.
