Rules, not rulers—this is a core tenet of crypto. The distrust of government and centralized power is integral to the decentralized peer-to-peer cash envisioned by bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto. Under the Biden administration, the crypto industry has faced even more aggressive regulatory actions than before, increasing distrust among stakeholders. Despite skepticism that Vice President Kamala Harris, if elected, might continue Biden’s anti-crypto stance, recent campaign adviser appointments might suggest otherwise.

A lot of crypto curious investors on the sidelines have been itching to get back into the market and checking in to ask me two things: 1) is the current bear market finally over? and 2) why is bitcoin consistently going up with all of the economic uncertainty in the larger markets?
QTNA. Questions that need answers.
If you’re wondering the same things Tonya, this update will give you an answer, an opportunity and a secret that most inexperienced crypto investors don’t know (but should!).
Crypto is on the rise. And even conservative naysayers on CNBC have predicted that bitcoin will be one of the top five performing assets in 2023.
But why? Why is bitcoin on the rise and energizing the rest of the crypto ecosystem?
An Answer
Experts point to the Bitcoin Halving Season as a primary reason. This is something you definitely need to understand to maintain your first-mover advantage.
Three years ago today, the percentage increase in price from the halving to the height of the market was approximately 300% to 400% after the May 11, 2020 halving! Historically, with each halving event, the price of bitcoin saw an upward trend.
The halving happens approximately every four years. And the next one happens in 2024.
Are you ready to ride the wave to the top in the next bull run?
It’s a historical fact that when the availability of newly minted bitcoins goes down, the price goes up. So think of all the gains you’ll never enjoy if you miss the next wave by watching others win from the sidelines.
Your future is in your hands. And one huge obstacle separating you from winning in the next bull run is the right opportunity to learn so you can earn.
But you’re in luck.
