If you look so far the 4 cycle is there and the bull has been bigger and longer lasting each time but so to the bear market. Its very hard to say what will happen, will the bull cycles be shorter and the bear longer? very possible, as is longer bull, longer bear. It makes most sense that as adoption and awareness grows that both will be bigger and longer lasting, while being more brutal in extremes. However as time goes on people also wise up, and those bear markets are a reminder to take your money and run in the bull so you can be having a great time regardless while the bear drags on.
