Immensely popular, but it's for a reason.

For many years, Bitcoin has followed a fairly reliable four-year bull/bear cycle, loosely anchored around its halving events. Each cycle comes with its own set of narratives. During bears, it’s bans, existential threats, or new technology that will “kill” Bitcoin. During bulls, it’s...

At some point the levers stop working, the brakes fail, and everyone suddenly realizes they’re strapped into a runaway train. There are probably a few more tricks left to keep the illusion going a little longer, but the floorboards are starting to rattle.
