If you look back at Bitcoin's history, you'll notice an interesting pattern—a bear market occurs every four years.
In 2014, the market was filled with misery. 2018 brought another round of sharp declines, with many people selling at a loss and leaving the market. 2022 was even worse, with the Luna crash and the FTX collapse making it a complete bear market.
Based on this pattern, will 2026 be another hurdle? Will history repeat itself?

2026? Saw it coming a long time ago. The four-year cycle is really something else—time to fleece the newcomers again.

2026? Let's just get through 2025 first, haha.

Once every four years, is it really unavoidable this time? I bet 2026 will still come.

Every 4 years there's a bear market, this cycle is really something else. Just wait to buy the dip in 2026.

Here we go again, still the same old pattern, saw it coming a long time ago.
---
Better prepare some ammo for that 2026 hurdle, or you'll just end up being the bag holder.
---
History doesn't repeat but it rhymes, just wait it out.
---
I really didn't make it out during that Luna wave, in 2026 I'd rather die than buy the dip.
---
People always talk about patterns, but patterns can glitch too, who knows?
---
The bear market isn't scary, what's scary is that all my money is stuck in Luna, haha.
---
By this logic, I should save some stablecoins for 2026, learned my lesson.

2026? Bro, don’t scare me. I just crawled out of the mess from 2022.
---
Is the 4-year cycle really that accurate? Then I’d better cash out by the end of 2025.
---
Speaking of which, I cut my losses in 2018 the same way, and I’m still regretting it now.
---
I was lucky not to get trapped in the Luna crash, but watching FTX blow up still freaked me out.
---
The logic of history repeating itself makes sense, but something unexpected happens in the market every time.
---
Haha, this cracks me up. Every time someone says they’ve found a pattern, they still get slapped in the face next time.
---
I’m already starting to accumulate stablecoins for the 2026 hurdle. Don’t want to chase the top again.
