Data shows that BTC’s “average annual returns have gradually declined, with no peaks at all in the last cycle, confirming the hypothesis that Bitcoin's risk/return structure has changed.” The phenomenon of financial bubbles is hotly debated among industry operators, and there are several academic papers on the subject, starting with Professor Didier Sornette’s 2014 study of financial bubbles. In fact, the paper defines a “bubble” as a period of unsustainable growth with prices rising faster and faster, i.e., growing more than exponentially. Obviously, bubbles by definition are destined to burst and bring prices back to their starting value or worse. In the recent past, Bitcoin (BTC) has experienced periods of more than exponential growth, followed by very sharp declines, called “crypto winter,” a period when no one talked about Bitcoin and other assets anymore, meaning there was a freeze around the sector, and prices collapsed. Previous declines following the Bitcoin price bubble were -91%, -82%, -81%, and -7...

Markus Thielen warns Bitcoin’s institutional rally could reverse as ETF outflows and market fatigue weigh on risk appetite. The powerful wave of institutional buying that helped propel Bitcoin higher since early 2024 could also amplify a correction if market fatigue persists, according to Markus Thielen, CEO of 10x Research and a former portfolio manager. In an interview with Bloomberg, Thielen said the crypto market, and Bitcoin (BTC) in particular, is showing all the tell-tale signs of fatigue, following a difficult October marked by the largest liquidation event in the industry’s history. Those losses, he noted, have compounded underlying macroeconomic risks that Bitcoin has increasingly mirrored. Because institutional inflows, especially from spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), have been a key driver of the 2024 rally, Thielen warned that the same investor base could accelerate downside pressure if activity continues to slow.

Magazine explores the wild theory that Satoshi Nakamoto was a time-traveling AI sent back to build the perfect, unstoppable network. It sounds ridiculous. impossible but hear me out: What if the real reason Satoshi Nakamoto has never been identified and has managed to stay quiet for the last 15 years is that he was never a person at all? What if the inventor of Bitcoin is a super-advanced artificial intelligence from the future that sent itself back to create an ultra-resilient network for itself to run on? Thats precisely the theory some conspiracy-minded sci-fi fans have been spreading around for at least the last eight years. Most people think the idea is absolutely preposterous, of course, and some contributions to the discourse are tongue-in-cheek.  Read more

Speaking with Cointelegraph, 10T Holdings founder Dan Tapiero explains why Bitcoin’s fundamentals remain strong even as a 70% downturn looms in the next bear phase.
