S02E16: Is Bitcoin’s 4-Year Cycle Dead? Pav Hundal on Bitcoin, Crypto & What Comes Next

Is Bitcoin’s four-year cycle coming to an end, or is the crypto market simply moving through another painful phase of the cycle? In this episode, Pav Hundal, Lead Market Analyst at Swyftx, joins Hanif to discuss the current state of Bitcoin, crypto markets, investor sentiment, and what may come next for digital assets. We explore whether Bitcoin’s four-year cycle is still relevant, why market psychology plays such a powerful role in crypto, and how time-based capitulation can cause investors to give up even after prices may have already bottomed. Pav also breaks down the role of institutional adoption, Bitcoin ETFs, regulation, and changing market structure — including whether Bitcoin could eventually become a more boring, widely held asset sitting inside everyday portfolios, super funds, and long-term investment strategies. The conversation also covers crypto adoption in Australia, the future of stablecoins, Ethereum’s role as infrastructure, real-world asset tokenisation, altcoins, meme coins, and why Bitcoin remains the clearest asset Pav is watching in the current market. If you are interested in Bitcoin, crypto investing, the four-year cycle, market psychology, Bitcoin ETFs, stablecoins, Ethereum, altcoins, or the future of digital assets, this conversation offers a clear and grounded look at where the crypto market may be heading next. This episode is for general information and discussion only and should not be taken as financial advice. Topics discussed:• Bitcoin and the four-year cycle• Crypto market psychology• Bitcoin ETFs and institutional adoption• Stablecoins, Ethereum and altcoins• The future of digital assets
