$json.BodyEdited = “Vineet Budki, CEO of venture firm Sigma Capital, forecasts that Bitcoin will continue to experience its characteristic cyclical booms and busts, with a potential drawdown of up to 70% during the next market downturn. Speaking at the Global Blockchain Congress 2025 in Dubai, Budki explained that the lack of understanding about Bitcoin’s economic properties among traders will trigger significant selling pressure when the market shows signs of trouble. He emphasized that even if Bitcoin’s price falls to $70,000, its utility remains intact, but many investors tend to sell assets they don’t fully grasp, amplifying the decline.\n\nDespite the anticipated retracement, Budki remains optimistic about Bitcoin’s long-term prospects, predicting it could reach $1 million or more per coin within the next decade. He highlighted that growth in user adoption will be driven by both price speculation and practical real-world use cases.\n\nWhile some experts, like Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, argue that Bitcoin’s price is increasingly influenced by macroeconomic factors rather than its traditional four-year cycle, others point to the ongoing role of institutional adoption and the perception of Bitcoin as a risk-on asset as evidence that the cycle still holds relevance. Seamus Rocca, CEO of crypto-friendly Xapo Bank, supports the view that the four-year Bitcoin cycle remains influential in shaping market dynamics.\n\nFor a deeper dive into this perspective, read more at Cointelegraph: https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-4-year-cycle-not-dead-70-drawdown”;
