I’m talking about the timing and magnitudes of the overall 4 year cycle. We have had less than a handful. So there is literally NO statistical significance (ie math) in saying things like ā€œwe are already 3 months lateā€.

It would take a minimum of a few dozen cycles to glean that kind of rigorous analytical conclusion.

All we can say is, ā€œgee, the last couple were like this, so maybe this one will be similarā€

It’s literally throwing a dart at the board with one eye shut and the other blurry šŸ˜‰

I say all this because the potential for getting reck’d using 3 cycles for data points and then trading off that is massive and I sense we will see it in real time the rest of this cycle.

Hypothetical example…..

ā€œBitcoin USUALLY tops out 15 months after halving and last cycle it only went to 3.5x previous cycle top before correcting 75 percent. THEREFORE, I will sell my bitcoin at 180-200k in Sept/Oct/Nov (when it gets there), because THE MATH says I will be able to buy it back at 50-60k in 2026/7ā€

Then the price goes to 250, 300, 350 and the statistically challenged Bitcoin maxi is freaking out and buys it back only to CREATE the top at 400/450 for this cycle before we retrace 60/5 percent back to his original sale approx 175 at the next cycle bottom.

I sense this exact example and many derivatives of it will occur over the next 12-18 months….

All because of THE MATH. Which of course (statistically speaking) was never math all along.

Too few (cycle) data points.

Thx for allowing me to rant. Felt good 🤣

Just look how different JUST the last TWO cycles were to thier predecessors.

2021/2 cycle high was 3.5x 2017/18

Yet 2017/18 was 20x 2013/4!!!!
