So what's everyone's take on this Extended Cycle theory? We all watching the same charts, right? Usually we'd be deep in bear territory by now, but here we are—still grinding. Some say we're stretching into uncharted timeline territory. Could this actually play out differently than previous halvings? Curious what the vibe is in your circles. Are people positioned for a longer runway, or is this just hopium talking?

Ha, that's what I said. I've heard too much of this "extended cycle theory." Project teams love using this as an excuse to fool people. If you really want to talk about what's different, you have to look at who's secretly accumulating coins and who's making profits by forking and dumping on retail investors. I can't figure out this market cycle, but with three kids to raise, I have to live well. It's better to steadily mine during the bear market. --- Rather than blindly guessing "will this time be different," it's better to audit the contract code first. A bunch of promises from project teams can't stand up to scrutiny. --- To put it bluntly, it just hasn't dropped enough yet. Everyone is betting they can outrun the rest, but real veterans already know how to survive until the next bull run. --- Whenever this argument pops up, I know who's about to get dumped on... Not saying too much, just look at the charts—the data speaks for itself. --- Here comes the "this time is different" talk again. The last people who believed that are still mining right now.

To be honest, I'm tired of hearing the whole extended cycle narrative. They hype it up every time, but what happens in the end... However, the data does seem a bit different this time.

NGL, this cycle really feels different, the previous logic doesn’t seem to work anymore. If you ask me, everyone is betting this time it can be extended, but no one can say for sure, right? The bear market not coming is actually a bit scary, feels like everyone is waiting for a signal.

NGL, this cycle is indeed strange. Feels like everyone is betting on the usual patterns being broken.

To be honest, I think this so-called extended cycle might just be a false proposition. History will repeat itself.
