If we look back at Bitcoin's performance during the 2011-2013 cycle, what could we realistically expect from 2026-2027? The historical patterns are intriguing—those early years saw explosive growth but also extreme volatility. Fast forward to today's market maturity, and the question becomes: are we looking at similar magnitude moves, or will institutional adoption create a different trajectory? The halving cycles, on-chain metrics, and macroeconomic backdrop have all evolved significantly. Worth pondering whether past performance gives us any real edge in predicting the next leg.

To be honest, I used to believe in the whole cycle of history, but I don't anymore. Institutional entry indeed changed the game rules, but don't mythologize it.

History will repeat itself but not exactly the same. Institutional entry has changed the game rules; this time is different.

Historical cycles are useless as a reference; once institutions come in, they change the game rules.

Honestly, I'm already tired of the historical cycle theory. Does institutional participation really change the game, or is it just the same old story?

History may repeat itself, but the logic has changed. Can institutions pump Bitcoin to explode like in 2013? Dream on.

NGL history will repeat itself, but the pace is completely different. Institutions are too big to play the kind of madness back then.

History will repeat itself, but in different forms. Institutionalization has completely changed the rules of the game.
