Mt Gox, China regulation and FTX: moments that fueled \'Bitcoin is dead\' calls

A long-cycle analysis says Bitcoin has repeatedly been declared finished after major shocks such as the Mt Gox hack, China’s trading restrictions and the Terra and FTX collapses, but has rebounded each time to set new highs. The review divides the 2009-2026 period into seven cycles and charts sharp sell-offs followed by recoveries. It also notes episodes of heavy liquidations and a recent geopolitical shock in early 2026.

Bitcoin slides below $77,000 as midterm-election-year May selloff pattern eyed

Bitcoin has slipped below $77,000, reviving debate over whether it will repeat sharp May declines seen in past U.S. midterm election years. Some analysts warn the 2018 and 2022 patterns could reappear, with key support levels at $78,000 and $76,000 and downside risks cited as far as $33,000. Others say spot ETF gains, corporate inflows and proposed U.S. legislation have broadened demand and reduced the odds of a similar selloff.

Tim Draper says BTC could reach $250,000 within 18 months. What is his basis?

Venture capitalist Tim Draper has again said bitcoin could reach $250,000 within 18 months, citing inflation pressure and a weakening dollar. He linked the view to shifts in the macro environment and said even higher levels could be possible if bitcoin rises while the dollar falls. Draper also revisited his bitcoin investing history, including losses tied to Mt. Gox and a 2014 U.S. Marshals Service auction purchase.
