(probably more) On top of whatever you keep growing in that other account.

Im doing so well in traditional markets Im not going on the Bit Coin roller coaster.The nice thing about roller coasters, and bitcoin, is that they are very predictable. The rollercoaster has a track and you can see where it is going ahead of time. Bitcion has the repeated 4 year cycle. It HAD been going in cycles every 4 years. New all time high, then eventually a crash of about 70%. Exactly the same. Every time. But every four years, the cycle has repeated. And each time, that crash never goes as low as the previous one. As the new ATH at the end of the bull run has been much higher than each previous one. Charting it out over the years, the line only moves up and to the right with an excellent % return. Regardless of the predictable crashes at predictable times. Look at me with 0 finance background. I suck at math. And I dont know the stock market at all. I dont understand the fundamentals of evaluating a companies financials and determining if its a strong investment, or at what levels it is a buy or not. I could never time a stock. Ever. And this dummy timed the bottom of the last bitcoin crash perfectly to get my kids their shares. I called it in here, right in CVON as I was doing it. If I can do that, that shows you how incredibly predictable it has been.Looking ahead, beginning right about now, they are talking as if the days of 4 year cycles are about to end. IF you've taken the time to watch any of the videos I posted recently, you'll understand why. We are at the beginning of what is being referred to as the iphone moment, or the internet moment in 1993 where few people had it and then almost every household had it. This is because the bitcoin ETFs, followed by this administrations focus on crypto and crypto friendly policies. Companies are starting to grab bitcoin in their own portfolios. Bullish ($BLSH) is a company that is trying to position itself as a catalyst for this. It is a crypto exchange like a Coinbase, BUT designed only for institutions, not retail investors. With the amount of institutional money about to pour in, companies, as well as countries (including the USA) establishing bitcoin treasuries, and the fact that itll be 99% mined out in 2035, these next 10 years are supposed to be the moonshot without the massive dumps like the old 4 year cycles had. The supply is finite. And the amount that is being mined, is going to be getting bought up real quick. by these countries and large institutions. After 10 years, the final 1% of bitcoin remaining to be mined, will take over 100 years to mine. Which means that while everyone is trying to get it, the supply will be miniscule. And if you are someone who is trying to get some at that point, the only way youre going to get it is by getting it from someone who already has it, and youre going to have to bid up the price massively to get them to part with it.

My buddy whose made crazy money with it even admits it will crash multiple times before he retiresI guess my post was too long. I talked about the crashes. In short:It has always crashed about 70-80% from the all time high it reaches at the end of its bull run. Each crash is never as low as the previous crash because its falling from a new high, and then reaching new higher highs. So chart that out, you still have a line consistently up and to the right. And its always been very predictable.See the image belowIn the future, starting very soon, the cycles are expected to stop, and its just going to keep going up. Ive posted a bunch of videos in here lately with the information on why that is the case.

Ive posted a bunch of videos in here lately with the information on why that is the case.The next image is basically a zoom on in what one 4 year cycle looks like.Note how the "new equilibrium" on the far right is still higher than the "takeoff" at the very beginning of the cycle at the far left, even with the "crash" in between those two points.The "crash" is relative. When it consistently crashes the same % but it crashes from a new high, the "Crash" is still leaving you at a higher level than you were 4 years ago. Basically- its still providing you a return better than anything else you can be invested in and thats with the "crash" build in.But again, experts are expecting that we are entering a new era where the "crash" is going to be removed from the picture and it will be an even more linear rise.
August 16, 2025Aug 16 Ive been misspeaking. It doesnt fall by 75%. It falls to about 75% of its high. For example when it was about 115, I knew I could probably get it at like 85, and it might even go down to high 70s, which it did. Thats not a 70% crash, but it was about 75% of what it was at its high.This next cycle is expected to bring it to at least 150k. Some say 200-300k this cycle. But say it hits 150k this time. If it falls to 75-80% of that it will end up at 112,500- 120,000, and its not going to go lower than that. Thats the new baseline or support for the next cycle to begin at.Then, if the next cycle takes it to 250k and it falls to 75-80% of that itll be at 187k-200k after the next "Crash" still leaving you with a big gain. If you are someone who does not know this pattern, a fall from 250k to 187k looks scary for sure. But, its not when you know exactly whats happening and that it was expected to happen, and that is your new low, and you are only climbing from there. The climb has always come in every 4 year cycle. Nothing that has gone on in the world has stopped it. Even if the crashes continue to happen forever, it still climbs at a predictably huge rate over time. If the crashes stop, the gains should be crazy fast.

My buddy whose made crazy money with it even admits it will crash multiple times before he retiresAt these prices, traditional retail investors/owners of BTC (people who have 1 BTC or less in their wallet) are net sellers. You're also seeing BTC's share of crypto ownership decrease rapidly as retail move to other coins that are less expensive. Those buying these days are institutions, like BTC treasury companies who raise capital by selling convertible bonds to arbitrage desks who feast on volatility/options premium of the company's stock. If that sounds wonky to you that's because it is. The price is being supported and pumped largely by institutions who own so much BTC that they HAVE to continue to raise capital in order to continually buy and support their investment. Their ultimate goal is to get the US government (Trump) and other first world governments to adopt BTC as a treasury asset so they can stop pumping their own bags. As it stands right now, @HazletonEagle and the rest of the Michael Saylor truther cult NEED the Trump administration to start bailing on gold and other tangible treasury assets that have typically backed fiat currency around the globe. They've gone all in on speculation and the Trump administration is really their only shot at the $120k BTC price actually being justified. Otherwise it's just another stable coin, no different than any of the others trading way below them.If Trump doesn't come through for them it will continue to behave like it always has. And it will crash hard. That being said, DJT (the company) took a page out of the MSTR playbook and recently sold some convertible bonds in order to fund a BTC purchase. So Trump has skin in the game and is incentivized to make fiscal policy decisions that will enrich him.

Who knows, but people are frustrated and want to do something.A bit of a stretch to say the big 5 are "AI companies" let alone 40% of the S&P. NVDA for sure, maybe MSFT to some degree, but the other 3 are diversified enough to be able to still generate a ton of revenue without anything related to what could be classified as an AI product. I also wouldn't include TGT in that second group, they're on the rebound but they're still struggling to recover from last year's tariff induced crash. Ask me how I know.And to clarify, I didn't intend to come across as alarmist in my previous post. I'm never one to call out an impending crash. Please don't go liquidating all your big tech positions because of anything I say. Just wanted to point out that it's plausible for a crypto crash to spill over to the broader market to some degree because of the indirect relationship between the two as a result of shared chips.
February 5Feb 5 Stay diversified and you’ll be fine. Something as straight forward as P&G is a good way to offset all the tech. Lower growth but more stable and decent dividends.
