Its value has risen from one tenth of a cent in 2009 to a new high of over $70,000. But misconceptions about its reliability have prevented most people from creating life-changing wealth. Michael Terpin, the founder of BitAngels whom CNBC calls “the Godfather of Crypto," is changing that. The Bitcoin Supercycle explains his “Four Seasons of Bitcoin” model, which shows how the price of bitcoin moves in reliable cycles similar to those of real estate and stock markets—and gives you the numbers, evidence, charts, and strategies to take advantage. As the Bitcoin Spring starts in April 2024 and the fourth halving reduces the supply of bitcoin, and crypto ETFs hit the market, the coming seasons have the potential to create a new class of millionaires and billionaires that rivals the wealth creation of the internet bubble. Learn how to become one with The Bitcoin Supercycle.
