Bitcoin (BTC) Through the 4 year cycles of $400 $4000 $40,000

While not knowing when is the best opportunity to buy Bitcoin is a stressor for several investors; looking at the extracts from the past, it just looks like for whoever trades in the future – the market always wins.

On April 10, 2014:  Bitcoin falls below the $400 mark, down more than 60% from its all-time high.

On November 25, 2018:  Bitcoin Falls Further Below $4,000; Crypto Continues to Plunge.

On Jan 10, 2022:  Bitcoin Briefly tumbles below $40,000 to the lowest since September as investors shed risk.

Every dip add a Little Bitcoin:

2014: $400;

2018: $4,000;

2022: $40,000;

2026: $???,???

~4 years gap between 400 and 4000 and between 4000 and 40000. Didn’t expect to see this pattern from looking at newspapers in hindsight. After 4 years, a zero is added at the end of the previous “BTC price dip” number. This isn’t linear growth. 1000% increase in value/4yrs!

Community Insights: 

Where are those who always say we should keep buying the dip. It just looks like the dip is getting higher.

Catching the BTC dip is still trickly, if you bought Bitcoin exactly two weeks ago for $48,000, that’s OK because you can buy more now for only $40,000.

Do you say that after 4 years Bitcoin will resume its bullish course and new ATH?

Don’t Expect Bull Market Untill next halvening 2024 May.

Will it fall below $4,000,000 after that? Then fall below $40,000,000? When does it stop falling below an order of magnitude more? When we get to the moon, does it stop falling?

I get what you say, but we have never had this level of turmoil in the market since BTC came to exist. I would prepare for some epic drops, but I am still long-term bullish… like 2024+ bullish.

Crazy to think that in 4 years, i will see the fear and greed index go to 32 and all the noobs in the space start spreading unbelievable FUD because BTC fell to $399,900.

Regulators are stepping in and this is something that has never happened before!

There is the plain fool, who does the wrong thing at all times everywhere, but there is the fool, who thinks he must trade all the time. And, the reality is that there is never just one factor driving the market.  And, it is important to understand Bitcoin is a network and not a currency. So, for those who keep thinking it is a currency?
