Recently, some Western KOLs have started promoting certain copycat projects, such as SOL, UNI, AAVE, and others.
It's actually easy to understand; Bitcoin has approximately a 3.9-year halving cycle,
but copycats don't halve. If you look at ETH's chart honestly, can you confidently say it doesn't have a four-year cycle?
The cycle is clearly much shorter, running several times in four years.
All the cycles combined only add up to about 3.6 years, never reaching the 4-year mark.
When these copycats fall, many of the reasons given by market makers and project teams are that the market isn't good,
but in reality, they're just dumping the market.
What kind of "projects" are these copycat project teams doing?
They insist they can only work hard and build when the market is good,
but when the market is bad, they can't even work,
and they aren't even quick to tweet comforting messages to retail investors?
It's just an excuse.
HYPE continues to launch new products and promote them vigorously even in a bear market.
Whether or not they follow the four-year cycle is at least a 50/50 choice made by the project teams themselves.
Retail investors have already sold all their positions,
so what impact can it really have on you?
The fact that copycat projects actively want to break away from the narrative of Bitcoin's four-year cycle
is a sign that they are starting to take action.
If someone tells you that poor project development is because BTC is falling,
then rest assured and go short on it,
and go long on BTC to hedge.
Such project teams are not trustworthy.
