Bitcoin is only 16ish years old. You haven't been through "many cycles" either.

However, I've heard talk about how bitcoin will be what everyone is talking about since at least the 2013 cycle.

My point is we live in a bubble. You can admit it or live in denial about it. Normies are not talking about bitcoin in any meaningful way at this point of time.

I believe Joe Carlasare says something along the lines of: this will be a very frustrating time, where bitcoin keeps going up in price well over 100k and yet most people will continue not to care about it.

I agree with him.
