Bitcoin Cycles and Russell 2000! What's the Connection?BitcoinCRYPTO:BTCUSDCrypto4lightI'm not a BTC maxi, and I'm not against BTC at all! I just never understood the fanatics—whether it's the BTC cult or XRP. As I've said before, the human brain is wired to hunt for patterns, confirmations, and setups where none actually exist! That's how conspiracy theories are born! Sure, on a global scale, conspiracies and certain ideas do turn out to be true! But with BTC and its 4-year cycle model, halvings, and all that jazz, it's such an oversimplified framework—tailor-made for people who aren't used to looking beyond the surface or thinking critically at all! Why bother thinking when they've told you there's this orange coin that should pump every 4 years, then the miners' rewards get slashed and the coin should pump again! Why? Nobody's ever explained it! It's just that, back then, the halving model was the only marketing gimmick tied to the tech side that could draw in users! How else was a brand-new asset, fresh out of nowhere in the world, supposed to grab attention? So they cooked up this price-growth stimulus like that! But the market's matured now—demand has exploded, enough to soak up any supply out there. To me, the halving is more of a news event that rallies all the market's forces into a tight timeframe, making it easier to reboot the whole thing. As far as I'm concerned, the whole story about halvings driving BTC's cycles and growth is pure fiction! On the chart, they've just slapped on the Bitcoin halvings, and down at the bottom is the RUT (Russell 2000)—that's the index of 2,000 small-cap companies across all sorts of sectors! How does it end up that the reactions on the charts are identical? Are people buying stocks in companies based on the halving of some made-up digital coin? Or is it way simpler: global investors, riding favorable market vibes in the moment, just pile into risk assets—and that includes both Bitcoin and those 2,000 small-cap companies And for all you BTC diehards to chew on: The RUT index kicked off in the late '80s! Thirty years before that orange coin even showed up! Every asset—especially in crypto—needs some kind of hook, a legend, a mystery! Something to stir up the buzz! So let's not keep dragging in the halving as some magical force! Just like we shouldn't put blind faith in these so-called cycles! BTCUSD
