‘Strap In'—$4 Trillion Bitcoin And Crypto Braced For A Price Game-Changer
Bitcoin has bounced back from a sell-off last week, climbing after a $9 billion earthquake. Sign up now for CryptoCodex—A free newsletter for the crypto-curious The bitcoin price dropped to around $115,000 per bitcoin last week but has rebounded to touch $120,000, propelling the combined crypto market to back over $4 trillion and helped by U.S. president Donald Trump issuing a huge crypto prediction. Now, as Elon Musk's SpaceX sets bitcoin alarm bells ringing, analysts are predicting the wild bitcoin price swings that have rocked the market in recent years could be over. Sign up now for the free CryptoCodex—A daily five-minute newsletter for traders, investors and the crypto-curious that will get you up to date and keep you ahead of the bitcoin and crypto market bull run Traders are braced for a major change to the bitcoin price and crypto market. 'The days of parabolic bull markets and devastating bear markets are over,' Mitchell Askew, a bitcoin analyst with the bitcoin miner Blockware, posted to X, echoing CryptoQuant chief executive Ki Young Ju who believes the bitcoin four-year cycle theory 'is dead.' However, Askew also predicted that the bitcoin price will soar to $1 million over the next 10 years as it switches between 'pump' and 'consolidate" phases, adding: 'It will bore everyone to death along the way and shake the tourists out of their positions. Strap in.' Historically, the bitcoin price has climbed to all-time highs in the years following a bitcoin halving that sees the number of new bitcoin issued to miners in exchange for maintaining the network cut by half. Bitcoin saw significant price surges in the second halves of 2017 and 2021, following halvings that occurred in 2016 and 2020. Bitcoin's last halving, cutting the bitcoin block reward to 3.125 bitcoins per block, happened in April 2024. Others have also said they believe the so-called four-year bitcoin price cycle is over, pointing to the huge accumulation of bitcoin over the last few years by first Michael Saylor's Strategy then by bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) issuers led by BlackRock Strategy now controls 600,000 bitcoin worth $72 billion, sparking a flood of copy cat companies who are buying bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, while the combined bitcoin ETF issuers now hold 1.5 million bitcoin worth $175 billion. Sign up now for CryptoCodex—A free newsletter for the crypto-curious The bitcoin price has rocketed higher this year, hitting an all-time high of $123,000 per bitcoin. "The four-year cycle is dead and adoption killed it," Kyle Chassé, a bitcoin and crypto commentator posted to X alongside a video he appeared in with Bitwise chief investment officer Matt Hougan. "The long-term pro-crypto forces will overwhelm the classic "four-year cycle" forces, to the extent those exist, and that 2026 will be a good year," Hougan said in the clip. 'I think it's more 'sustained steady boom' than super-cycle,' Hougan said. 'I could be wrong, and I'm certain there will be significant volatility." Other analysts have though pointed to the possibility of unexpected events as either boosting or crashing the bitcoin price—something they warn could happen at any time. 'This fifth bitcoin bull market has been characterized by bursts of momentum and sudden pauses, rather than a steady, high sharpe ratio climb,' Markus Thielen, the chief executive of bitcoin price and crypto analysis company 10x Research, said in an emailed note. 'Each move has hinged on a clear catalyst: Fed rate expectations, Trump's political traction, ETF breakthroughs, or regulatory interventions, such as the dismantling of crypto-friendly banks. That's why staying laser-focused on macro triggers and reacting quickly to breakouts remains critical. In crypto, momentum is sparked by events, not driven by the calendar.'

You can get Bitcoin at a discount. Here is how.
You can get Bitcoin at a discount. Here is how. originally appeared on TheStreet. Bitcoin mining remains fiercely competitive and often out of reach for most investors. In an interview with TheStreet Roundtable during the Bitcoin 2025 conference, Mitchell Askew, head of Blockware Intelligence, explained that attempting to mine from home quickly becomes impractical. 'If you want to mine Bitcoin at your house, your electricity rate is going to be too expensive to do it profitably,' Askew noted that home rigs are 'like running a vacuum cleaner 24-7. It's loud, it's hot, it's dusty, and it's not going to be profitable at your house.' Beyond power costs, he pointed out, most investors lack the technical know-how to configure networks, join mining pools and cope with excessive heat and noise. To meet growing demand from investors seeking direct mining exposure, Blockware operates eight data centers across seven states, securing industrial power rates that drastically lower operating expenses. Askew explains, 'Every day you're producing Bitcoin at a discount to the market price—if you're mining at a block or site with the latest and greatest Bitcoin miner, your break-even cost is around $60,000 per Bitcoin.' Clients purchase ASIC miners and ship them directly to Blockware's facilities. 'They can run it at one of our facilities and get access to industrial power rates, allowing them to mine profitably and without doing any of the setup themselves,' he said. With these industrial power rates, investors gain daily Bitcoin-denominated cash flows without the hassles of home-based mining. He also highlighted the tax advantages of acquiring mining equipment. 'When you purchase ASIC miners, you can depreciate them within each tax year, offsetting a lot of your capital gains at tax,' Askew explained. This depreciation benefit makes mining more appealing than simply buying spot Bitcoin, since investors can reduce taxable income while generating new coins. Central to Blockware's offering is the on-chain Blockware Marketplace, which provides real-time analytics on hash rates, energy consumption and profitability. Investors can review performance metrics before committing capital and pay in Bitcoin or fiat. Askew noted that the platform will soon support purchases of high-performance computing servers alongside mining rigs. By combining specialized infrastructure, transparent analytics and tax efficiencies, Blockware's hosted solution addresses the steep entry barriers that have long deterred investors from direct Bitcoin mining. With capacity filling fast and institutional interest on the rise, investors have a clear alternative to DIY mining or spot-only exposure. You can get Bitcoin at a discount.
