“THIS IS THE WORST #BITCOIN CYCLE EVER!” 😭
NOPE!
• In 2016, 20,200 ₿itcoin ₿locks after the halving, ₿itcoin was struggling near the red-line floor/support. This was a worse scenario.
• In 2020, 20,200 ₿itcoin ₿locks after the halving, ₿itcoin was between green-line linear-regression and red-line floor/support. Same as today.
• Today, in 2024, 20,200 ₿itcoin ₿locks after the halving, just like in 2020, ₿itcoin is between green-line linear-regression and red-line floor/support.

VCs continue to sell off projects that have no use to retail investors at huge profits. Bitcoin and stablecoins have found their niche, while other cryptocurrencies are lost in the ocean.
