Bitcoin to the MOON?! 🚀

So, apparently Bitcoin isn’t just about random “halvings” anymore. Remember those? The things everyone used to blame for everything? 🙄 Well, Matt Hougan – who, let’s be honest, sounds like someone who understands this whole crypto thing (unlike me, obviously) – says they’re becoming… less of a thing. Like, their influence is halving… get it? *Halving*? I crack myself up. Anyway, he says it’s diminishing. Drastically. Apparently, it’s all getting terribly… *structural*.

According to Matt (who clearly reads more financial reports than I do – which isn’t saying much, admittedly), each halving has half the impact of the last. Half! It’s like a decreasing return on… well, something. What’s really important now is all the grown-up stuff happening – things like, and try to stay awake, institutional adoption, sensible regulatory clarity (finally!), and those mysterious crypto ETFs. It’s shaping a whole *new* market dynamic. A dynamic. Very impressive.

He has a list, which, being a list, is almost reassuringly normal:

  • ETF inflows are not just a flash in the pan, but the beginning of a… *multi-year trend*. Honestly, “multi-year trend” sounds exhausting. Can’t things just happen quickly?

  • Institutions (pensions, the big boys) are finally showing up. Like, late to the party, but better late than never, I guess? 🤷‍♀️

  • Regulations! We’re making progress! (Slowly, painfully, but progress nonetheless.) Early 2025 was apparently when things started to, you know, *regulate*.

  • Wall Street is throwing actual money at this. Loads of it! This is apparently thanks to something called the GENIUS Act, which sounds… promising. 🤔

And get this: he actually thinks 2026 will be… a good year. Not just “okay” or “potentially less disastrous than previous years,” but *good*. Driven by, wait for it… mainstream adoption. Which, I assume, involves people who don’t spend all day refreshing CoinMarketCap. Honestly, the future is looking…slightly less terrifying. Maybe. 🤞
