Hunter Horsley: The Four-Year Cycle Will Be Broken Due to "Reflexivity," 2026 Remains Undefined
BlockBeats News, November 16th, Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley posted, saying, "Here is what I observed happening every four years:
Consensus: People believe in the four-year cycle, so 2026 will be a bear market year for Bitcoin;
First-order effect: People will start selling in 2025 to avoid the bear market year;
Second-order effect: Sellers in 2025 cause 2025 to be a bear year, breaking the 4-year cycle;
Third-order effect: 2026 is still undefined, but the four-year cycle is broken.
Recently, Hunter Horsley said, "The four-year cycle is a relic of the past. Since the launch of the Bitcoin spot ETF, we have entered a new market structure: new participants, new dynamics, new reasons for people to buy and sell. I believe we have likely already experienced a bear market for almost 6 months and are about to exit it. The development environment for cryptocurrency has never been more favorable."

Why AI Tokens Are Rising Faster Than the Broader Crypto Market
AI tokens are outperforming — and not quietly. Bitcoin is moving. Ethereum is holding ground. Yet some of the strongest relative gains are coming from AI-labeled tokens, not majors, not memes. At first glance, this feels intuitive. AI is real technology. It’s shaping industries far beyond crypto. But markets rarely move on intuition alone — especially not this fast. When prices accelerate ahead of adoption, the more useful question isn’t “Is AI important?” It’s which version of the AI story the market is buying — right now.
