Currently, Bitcoin is at $88K, and the market is filled with bearish voices. But if we look back in history, a few years ago when Bitcoin was at $16K, everyone was also declaring it dead.

Interestingly, the current situation bears many similarities to the 2022 bear market phase—same pessimistic sentiment, same "death" proclamations.

Perhaps we should re-examine the four-year cycle pattern of Bitcoin. Extreme market emotions often repeat at critical historical points, and the real opportunities are hidden within these moments when the collective is singing it down.

Every time, it's the same. As soon as I get bearish, they start talking about historical cycles. I just want to ask... is this time really different? --- From 16K to 88K, honestly, those who made money should keep quiet, and those who didn't are still shouting about cycles. --- The collective bearishness is often when it's the most dangerous. The failure rate of counter-trend operations is actually quite high. --- I've heard about cycle patterns so many times my ears are getting calloused. Let's wait for the data to speak. --- $88K is indeed a comfortable position, but I'm just worried it's the last frenzy. --- History will repeat itself, but we have to survive until then. --- The "Bitcoin is dead" meme has been around for ten years, right? Those who believed it once—are they now rich or bankrupt? --- I only know that every time this is said, retail investors are the last to enter. --- Don't just talk about cycles. How about giving some tips on when to buy? --- After so many years of being bullish or bearish, no one can pinpoint the exact moment. Honestly, it's all armchair quarterbacks after the fact.

Hold tight to your chips, don’t listen to those trash talkers; on-chain data will speak for itself. --- I’ve been pondering the four-year cycle for a long time when I was accumulating coins. Repeating history is not a coincidence; it’s a pattern. --- Since $16K until now, those who were bearish have long been educated by the market, but unfortunately, they have a poor memory. --- Buying during extreme emotions—that’s called risk coefficient transformation. Those who understand asset allocation get it. --- The key is whether you manage your private keys well. When opportunity comes, you must safeguard your chips. --- How did I survive the 2022 cycle? Using multi-signature wallets to diversify risk; don’t put all your eggs in one basket. --- If you’re still bearish now, keep watching. I’m already ready with cross-chain bridge configurations. --- Collective bearish sentiment = the best entry signal. This is a truth I’ve realized over the past few years. --- Bitcoin has never died; it’s just that some people need to wake up. --- What’s so scary about $88K? I’m more concerned about whether the contract audits have vulnerabilities. --- History will repeat, but prices will always reach new highs—that’s the meaning of long-term holding.

88k still bearish, really funny. How come these people just can't learn? Don't go where there are a lot of people, really. Once the bearish crowd gives up, it's about time to move. Cycle patterns, those who believe in them have already made a fortune, those who don't are still complaining. Just a replay, the script is the same, it all depends on who has better acting skills. $16k declared dead, now $88k is still talking nonsense. These people are really something. Just sit back and wait for the collective bearish call, that will be the real signal. History loves to repeat itself. The most interesting part of the show is about to begin.

History is just so interesting. 88K is still shouting death, but back in the day when it was 16K, no one showed up to testify. --- Here comes the four-year cycle theory again. Believe it or not, I hold my coins anyway. --- When everyone is collectively bearish... well, this wave might really have a chance, I’ve got it on my hands. --- Even in the 2022 bear market, we survived. What’s this little bit of pessimism now? --- Every cycle says it’s dead, but how many times has it died and yet it’s still alive? --- Being bearish is one thing, but if you still need to accumulate, then do so. --- This extreme emotion trick has been played several rounds already, it’s old hat. --- 88K is bearish, but when it surges, they start kneeling and shouting bull. It’s hilarious.

Every time it hits a psychological level, it's all about death predictions. I've been playing this game for years and still haven't gotten tired of it. --- That 16k wave, I was also involved. I'm still blaming myself for not going more in. History really loves to repeat itself. --- The four-year cycle is spot on, but the problem is retail investors can never get the rhythm right. --- The best time to buy is often when everyone is bearish. Whether this time can hold depends on human nature. --- Honestly, everyone wants to buy the dip but is also afraid, which is why they keep shouting death. --- Those who are bearish at 88k, in two years they'll probably be saying they regret not buying more. Cycle copy-paste.

History tends to repeat itself; when everyone is bearish, it's often a signal to buy the dip.
