The crypto market hasn’t reached “euphoric levels,” which means less reason to expect a major landslide, according to Lyn Alden. A significant crash for Bitcoin and the broader crypto market doesn’t look likely at this stage, according to macroeconomist Lyn Alden. “We haven’t hit euphoric levels in this cycle; therefore, there is less of a reason to expect a kind of major capitulation,” Alden said during a recent episode of the What Bitcoin Did podcast. “The cycle could go on for longer than people can expect, because it’s not driven by the halving, it’s driven by broader macro and interest in the asset itself,” Alden said, shutting down the idea that the four-year cycle is still intact.

LAHORE: Jamaat-i-Islami (JI) Emir Hafiz Naeemur Rehman has said that family enterprises and cult-based political parties cannot bring change in society. He was addressing the participants of JI’s Ijtima-i-Aam at Minar-i-Pakistan here on Saturday.
