The Real Reason Bitcoin Topped Early & What Comes Next | Lyn Alden

Is the Bitcoin four-year cycle officially dead or are we misreading this entire market? In this conversation, we break down why Bitcoin topped at $126K instead of $150K, whether OG holders are really dumping, and why this cycle felt fundamentally different. We discuss weak retail demand, the absence of a true alt season, AI and silver stealing speculative attention, and why stablecoins may be quietly reshaping global adoption. We also cover Bitcoin’s strange correlation to software stocks, why bullish news hasn’t moved price, and what could actually trigger the next cycle. Is this just consolidation before the next expansion or a structural shift in how Bitcoin trades?
