Have you considered that people just brushes of any negative news from regulators that comes out during a bullrun? I'm quite confident that there are articles that came out after halving but it's most likely that the noise coming from the hype is louder that any of these "ban" and lawsuits. I bet nobody cares about SEC and central banks when you see a lot of long green candles.

Although I am not an old bitcoiner just like you have stated but I wouldn’t say that during bear market we experienced the bad things, but rather what I have observed is it is this bad news that actually bring up the bear market. When there’s restrictions or ban on cryptocurrency then many people just withdraw their funds and not the other way around. Also if an hack happens to all this big exchanges we experience bear period as more funds are withdrawn.

The government actually reduces there restrictions during fiat problems like bank bankruptcy or should I say they have seen how investors were patient during the bear market and they would just have to reduced the restrictions just to find a way to regulate it since people are moving towards it at a higher rate than in the bearish period

Yes. We are being played. I could come up with theories but that's the way it is. It is often the scared retailed investors who are the ones affected and regret selling.

It could be there really are big institutions behind every fud and bad news and they are in alliance with Gary Gensler and the government. And when scared investors had been dumping scaredly with what they hold, the institutions will come buying back after 3 years in time for having.

It's how the media wants to play the game. Of course, during bear markets, the media will sell all its news hard and make money off it. And during the bull runs, they would stay silent as possible because their news wouldn't be bought anyway. It's how they make money, and for sure they are paid to peddle those news hard when the situation aligns to whatever they're reporting. It's a common tactic they've been doing for years way before crypto is around.

This isn't happening on purpose, since you're aware that bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency, which means nobody is in charge of these happenings, it's sone anyone cab take time to create on their own to either cause distractions or make people fear of missing out, when there's dip in bitcoin price, it's a normal thing that people begin to exercise some doubt or fear because they don't want to loose their entire asset to bitcoin bear, but once you have a clear understanding that bitcoin cannot go down no matter how dip it runs, you have just overcome all the fear that may comes around such period.


No one plays each other in a decentralized network like bitcoin and blockchain technology, everything happening is plain and open, we trust the network immutability.

I do not think i have noticed what you are talking about, maybe i do not pay attention to the conventional media for BTC news, maybe you should do the same thing as well, i get things better when i read and discuss here in the forum, and i get the best information on things i need to know.

What i have noticed and i think is true is that in the bear market, many people do not buy BTC, i believe it is because there are too many weak hands and quick profit-only people, but when the bull run or pump begins or as the halving is coming, many of them go into fomo buying. That is why it is difficult for someone who does not understand what BTC is to use the dca strategy, that method is for strong hands and for people who know what BTC really is, weak hands only want to fomo buy and sell out as fast as they can. Market manipulations happens in the industry, but it does not affect BTC to much because of how decentralized it is and the lack of decisive control in the hands of anyone or group.

Bitcoin does have a tendency to create perfect storms quite often. No idea if these events are orchestrated to help create these peaks and valleys or if it is just a side effect as people scramble to find explanations for the price movements. All that really matters is the four year cycle though. Zoom out, ignore the news, and stick to your plan.

Yeah, exactly; no complicated games are involved; it's simple media journalism. Both during bear and bull markets, Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general become trending topics that even those who have no clue about them read about. I even caught my father a few months ago reading and commenting about an article about the so-called collapse of Bitcoin, when it reached a low of $18,000. My father is quite old, knows nothing about cryptocurrencies, and hardly does anything more complicated than browse the internet.

Do you see my point? Cryptocurrencies are easily become viral topic, because some people praise them while others hate them, and this is what journalists take advantage of, it's news that anybody would possibly read.

In my opinion, for all conditions bad news is more prevalent during bear markets and will not escape media coverage. My view During a bear market, investors may be more risk averse and therefore more sensitive to negative news. In addition, they may be more likely to report negative events during a bear market because they are perceived as more newsworthy. This can create a negative cycle reinforcing the bearish sentiment.

I think market cycles and media coverage are closely linked but in this moment i think  the investors are very smart now, I guess it's easy to see it is just a matter of correlating then adjusting the data to the facts only Although it is possible that some entities are deliberately manipulating the market through the spread of false information in order to avoid getting caught up in fear or hype and making investment decisions based on research and good analysis.
