    Yeah it’s called a “dead cat bounce”. Zoom out by about 7 years.

    Take it from a veteran. They get longer and longer with each iteration of boom/bust cycle. I’ve been into this shit since 2012. Long before the cryptobros all piled in.

      I don’t know how much you know about bitcoin, but 7 years ago it was worth $1,100.

        That’s not my point. I was talking about the recent price rise.

        Every boom/bust cycle so far (and there have been about 4 or 5 of them), you get an initial spike, followed by a second one, and then a long, drawn out “despair” period after a crash.

        What you’re seeing is the second bounce of a spike that has been ongoing since about 2019/2020. The “despair” phase is probably not too far off now.

        I know the past is no indicator of future results, but when it happens over and over and over again, well…

          Again, I’m not sure how much you know about bitcoin because the boom/bust cycles you’re talking about are reflections of the halving cycle, not dead cat bounces. The next halving is going to happen in April this year, and after that the price is going to go up even more. I’ve been through this before, I’m not worried about the despair phase but that’s not what’s coming next.

              That makes sense, since each halving reduces the supply by a smaller amount. But it will still have an upward pressure on the price.
