Let’s cut the fluff. You’re staring at your screen, watching Bitcoin hover in that awkward limbo between ‘accumulation’ and ‘capitulation,’ wondering why the next parabolic move hasn’t materialized despite the ETF inflows and the halving narrative. I’ve been on this beat since the Mt. Gox days, and I can tell you right now: the easy money is gone. The next bull run isn’t just going to happen because the cycle says so.

If we don’t clear these hurdles, we’re not looking at a moonshot; we’re looking at another year of sideways grinding that bleeds out retail patience.
