2025 broke the pattern. The 4-year cycle everyone memorized? Doesn't apply anymore.

This is the first red post-halving year on record. Think about that. Everything traders built their strategies around—it's inverted now. The playbook is rewritten.

$BTC entered a new era with different rules. Markets are unpredictable in ways they've never been. What worked before doesn't guarantee anything today. Stay sharp, because the cycle died. The game changed.

Ha, I told you so. This wave is indeed outrageous. The four-year cycle theory should retire.

Bro, this time it really was a black swan event. My usual tricks all failed completely.

Wow, is the 4-year cycle really over? Then the theory I bought into earlier was all for nothing... By the way, who can predict this wave of the market? It feels like it's just a gamble of luck now.

The four-year cycle really needs to be changed, this time it's truly different. The previous strategy is now being reversed.

Is the four-year cycle dead? I’ve said it before that the pattern would change, but I still got proven wrong haha. After this halving, the price actually plummeted, and the blue-chip projects that were hyped up before have now become worthless. I also can't make sense of the on-chain data anymore.
