@giacomozucco

Cycle Law says: new REAL bottom around Plan B Forum, in less then a month, then real green. Irony Law says: we can't get lower than 58k, since that would be less entertaining. Two of the Fundamental Memetic Laws contradict each other. This is like the buttered cat paradox.

The image shows a "Bitcoin Spiral" chart by @therationalroot, visualizing Bitcoin's market cycles using a polar/circular format that tracks All-Time Highs (ATHs), Bottoms, Halvings, and Peaks across multiple years (2009, 2012, 2016, 2018, 2020, 2021, 2024), with the STH Cost Basis Z-Score indicating bear (brown) to bull (green) market sentiment. The chart relates to the post's satirical "Fundamental Memetic Laws" by providing a visual framework for cycle analysis, where the spiral pattern and labeled "Bottoms" and "Halvings" data points are being humorously leveraged to debate whether a real bottom is imminent—a contradiction the post frames as the "buttered cat paradox" of technical analysis conflicting with entertainment-driven price expectations around 58k.
