Is the 4-Year Cycle Bottom Already In? I Think Yes

Is the 4-Year Cycle Bottom Already In? I Think Yes

Yes. I think the 4-year cycle bottom is already in. Bitcoin topped at roughly $126,000 on October 6, 2025. It then bled for eight months and printed its bear market low near $60,000 in June 2026. Today it trades around $85,000. That is a bounce of...

Bitcoin Fed September: One Date Decides the Month

Bitcoin Fed September: One Date Decides the Month

A month ago I wrote that August and September form crypto's worst two-month window. I laid out the data, set my buy orders, and went back to the pool with the kids. Bitcoin read my blog and did the exact opposite. BTC closed August up 25%, one of...

Bitcoin Fork History: Every Fork and What Holders Got

Bitcoin Fork History: Every Fork and What Holders Got

Bitcoin has been forked, copied, split, and spun off more times than any asset in history. Some forks made holders serious money for doing nothing. Others were outright scams designed to steal private keys. Most landed somewhere in between: a brief...
