Crypto whiz Giovanni, typing away on X, says the FOMO halving yarn pulled the early BTC cycle by its whiskers, and the social echo-chamber really does matter. Meanwhile, the Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) also keeps a four-year tick-tock going, and that doesn’t mean the BTC halving cycle vanished into a puff of smoke.
Yet, alas! Not all hope is lost, for lo and behold, the so-called “whales”-those hefty holders of vast quantities-have taken it upon themselves to accumulate a truly prodigious sum of twenty-three trillion tokens, as if preparing for some grand spectacle of financial explosion.
