BTC's 365-day risk-adjusted return just hit its lowest since late 2022, but the same reading marked the cycle floor in 2015, 2019 and 2022, framing the drawdown as maximum seller exhaustion rather…
The roadmap spans seven upgrades and a full storage overhaul, but Hegota in 2026 is likely the last fork before the long Lean cycle starts, putting the catalyst years out from current price action.
