Ah, Bitcoin, the granddaddy of crypto, still trucking along like a stubborn mule. In 2025, it broke the pattern but not the cycle, reaching new heights in Q4, only to leave us wondering: is the 4-year cycle still alive and kicking? Well, it’s a bit like the Discworld’s Great A’Tuin – it may seem predictable, but there’s always a chance it’ll take a sudden turn and leave us all scrambling. With institutional investors entering the fray, the cycle might soften, but don’t be surprised if it still shapes the market’s timing and sentiment. After all, as they say, “History doesn’t repeat itself, but it does rhyme,” and in the world of crypto, that rhyme can be a real doozy.
