Bitcoin’s Crab Crawl: Why This Cycle Is Different

Show Notes

In this clip, Matthew breaks down a fascinating chart from Sminston With that labels Bitcoin’s sideways consolidation phases as “crab crawls.” Unlike past cycles, where post-peak periods followed declining slopes, the current cycle shows a surprising upward trajectory—suggesting this time might truly be different. Matthew explains how Sminston isolates non-bubble “baseline” periods and fits exponential regressions to those segments. While Bitcoin doesn’t follow exponential growth overall (it follows a power curve), this slope analysis reveals the current cycle is already outperforming the equivalent points in 2015 and 2019.
