随着比特币区块奖励接近其第四次减半,投资者正试图“抢滩”这个在历史上保持看涨的事件,不过比特币的价格涨幅是否真的与神奇的“ 4 年周期”相关呢?如果你真的相信这个所谓的循环周期,那么请做好这个概念将被颠覆的准备,因为这篇文章要证明比特币减半牛市周期其实只是“传说”。

认为“比特币每隔 4 年区块奖励减半是牛市主因”的人,可能是考虑到比特币价格逐渐减少的通胀压力——从概念上来说,这是有道理的,因为给矿工提供的比特币奖励越少,他们的抛售压力就越小。但是,倘若通过图表分析,或许会发现一丝“不一样”的端倪。

最近的比特币区块奖励减半发生在:

2020 年 5 月 11 日

2016 年 7 月 9 日

2012 年 11 月 12 日

而以下是比特币“触及”减半后历史最高点所需的天数:

2012 : 92 天

2016 年: 180 天

2020 年: 204 天

从上述数据集合中可以得出的第一个观察结果是:比特币区块减半后的价格升至新高的天数正在增加,分别是 92 天、 180 天,然后是 204 天。 但实际上,根据多年来的数据分析,比特币的价格周期时机并不能让人信服,反而其价格走势与道琼斯指数 (DJI)吻合度相对较高。

让我们从 2012 年开始,比特币区块奖励减半之后,过了 92 天价格创下了当时的历史新高,本次价格走高是在美国次贷金融危机后发送的,就在当时比特币价格创下新高之后的 15 天,道琼斯指数也创下历史新高。当时的熊市时间长达 618 天熊市,而比特币价格创下历史新高恰逢道琼斯指数突破金融危机峰值的时期。

2013 的牛市许多人还记忆犹新,但随后比特币便进入了 2014-2016 年的漫长熊市。在此期间,道琼斯指数也在 15, 400 和 18, 300 之间的范围内徘徊震荡,而且出现了三次较大幅度的下跌(参见下图红框范围)。

接下来让我们再看看 2016 年的情况,当时比特币区块奖励减半之后,过了 180 天其价格才创下当时的新高。值得一提的是,当时道琼斯指数也摆脱了低迷,而且同样创下历史新高,比特币这次突破历史高点的时间实在道琼斯指数离开 3 年熊市区间后的 57 天内创下的。

当时间来到一年之后的 2017 年,比特币价格和道琼斯工业平均指数的抛物线走势愈发相似,尽管这种同步趋势当时只维持了大约 42 天。

2017 年牛市之后出现了一个更复杂的模式,许多人将其视为是一个调整“区间(range)”或市场修正,并且形成了一个加宽的楔形形态(注:楔形形态是一种常见的价格修正结构,上升楔形是指价格经过一次大幅度下跌后产生的强烈技术性反弹,价格升至一定水平后又掉头下落,但回落点比前次高;下降楔形则正好相反,价格高点和低点形成一浪低于一浪之势,反弹高点逐渐下移。) 有趣的是,当时这种市场情况似乎更像是一种 “双击牛市旗形突破空头挤压回测 V 形底部”。

大多数相信比特币 4 年周期的人可能会辩解这是价格行为造成的,“如果没有 Covid, 2020 年 3 月的事情就永远不会发生。”

但问题是, 2020 年 3 月的加密市场暴跌是一个既定事实,尤其是当我们把 2013 年、以及 2017-2021 年数据拿出来对比(如下图所示)之后,即便是那些相信比特币区块奖励激发 4 年牛市周期的人也会承认这一点。

下面这张图,反映了比特币价格在 2017-2020 年的走势情况,后面将拆开分析。

下图是 2013 年的比特币走势情况,可以看出当时比特币价格经历了暴跌、小幅反弹、重新累积、价格上涨这四个阶段。

2017-2020 年期间,因为 Covid 引发的市场抛售开始出现,当时市场上也有一些投资者开始“捕获性重新积累(Capitulative Reaccumulation)”(注:捕获性重新累积是作者自创的一个词,可以看做是一种市场投降的情况。)

接下来让我们简短地回顾一下 Covid 期间道琼斯指数发生了哪些变化,实际上,有些变化是泡沫中的普遍现象,换句话说, 2020 年 3 月 Covid 引发的市场抛售震荡其实是正常的。

举个例子,如果我们回顾一下 2017 年以太坊的价格走势,可以看到类似的抛物线走势情况和 Covid 期间的加密市场也十分相似。

另一方面,同一时期内的道琼斯指数也在进行正常修正结构,对于一些不清楚经济概念的“小白”来说,他们可能会觉得是 Covid 造成的市场震荡,但如果回顾一下过去的历史走势就不难看出,情况并非如此。而这,也就是为什么有些人在 2020 年 3 月至 10 月期间恐慌抛售,而有些人则“抄底入场”赚的盆满钵满。

这里的一个关键点是 2018-2020 年期间的市场修正,当时比特币和道琼斯指数都没有做好“反弹”的准备。但是当道琼斯指数成功走出低迷,比特币在 14 天后也紧随其后——此时,发生在比特币区块奖励减半的 204 天后。

让我们再次回顾一下比特币价格触及历史新高的几个关键时间点:

2012 年:

- 比特币区块奖励减半后的第 92 天

- 距离道琼斯指数突破高点的 15 天后

2016 年:

- 比特币区块区块奖励减半后的第 180 天

- 距离道琼斯指数突破高点的 57 天后

2020 年:

- 比特币区块奖励减半后的第 204 天

- 距离道琼斯指数突破高点的 14 天后

随着比特币区块奖励减半,我们看到比特币价格走到高点的时间跨度分别是:+ 92 天、+ 180 天、然后是 + 204 天。而对于多年修正/合并后的道琼斯指数,我们看到比特币价格走到高点的时间跨度分别是:-15 天、+ 57 天,然后是 + 14 天。所以,哪一个看起来更相关?

加密市场里有一种观点并不受欢迎,那就是:比特币价格创新历史高点并不是因为区块奖励减半,而是依赖于股市创下的历史高点。

还记得上面提及的这张图表吗?道琼斯工业平均指数的走势,是不是和以太坊上的“双击突破空头挤压牛市旗背测试 V 底”有些相似呢?

从技术上讲,剧烈的回测阶段其实就是艾略特波浪理论中的 Wave-4 。

当我们看看以太坊旁边的道琼斯工业平均指数时……天啊……走势也太相似了吧。

然后,当我们进一步缩小道琼斯指数,进一步缩小以太坊时……天啊……再次出现了相似的趋势。

那么,现在道琼斯指数处于什么阶段呢?请参见下图。

总结

本文的重点是,比特币区块奖励从减半后到触及新的历史价格高点的时间跨度越来越大,相比之下,比特币的价格高点和道琼斯指数高点之间的时间快点则越来越小。之所以不相信比特币减半的 4 年牛市周期,是因为价格趋势其实和道琼斯指数结合的更加紧密,而比特币区块奖励减半也许只是“幸运时机”而已。

不仅如此,加密社区里之所以会出现“比特币也许不会再创历史新高”的想法,是因为 2013 年、 2017 年和 2021 年的牛市都发生在道琼斯指数爆发之后。所以现在的问题在于,道琼斯指数是否会再次爆发并触及新的历史高点——如果不会,好吧,正如我们从过去的市场周期中所看到的那样,比特币也许不会开始牛市。

Only 153 Venture Capital Firms Invested in July: Is the Crypto VC Industry Experiencing a 'Mass Extinction'?

In July 2026, only 153 unique venture capital firms participated in disclosed crypto funding rounds, marking the lowest monthly count since November 2020. This figure represents an 87% decline from the peak of 1,177 firms in 2022. Overall, the first seven months of 2026 saw crypto projects raise approximately $11.78 billion across 481 rounds. This crypto VC contraction contrasts sharply with the broader venture capital landscape, where global VC investment reached a record $560.4 billion in H1 2026, heavily fueled by major AI company financings. This shift in capital allocation has drawn funds away from the crypto sector. Within crypto, funding is highly concentrated. Trading platforms, prediction markets, and payment sectors absorbed 53% of the total capital. While early-stage deals remain frequent, the largest sums flow to a few late-stage rounds and mergers & acquisitions, which surged to $7.23 billion in Q2 2026. The market is consolidating around top funds like a16z crypto and Dragonfly, which successfully raised new multi-billion dollar funds, while many smaller firms have retreated. Analysts describe this as a "great extinction" for crypto VCs, where capital is becoming more selective, favoring proven business models and assets over early-stage speculation. This raises the bar for project quality, funding efficiency, and viable exit paths.

Strategy's Loss in the Second Quarter Reaches $8.22 Billion Amid Bitcoin Decline

Strategy, the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, reported a net loss of $8.22 billion for the second quarter. This loss was primarily driven by an $8.32 billion unrealized loss on its Bitcoin holdings due to a decline in the asset's price during the period. Despite these paper losses, the company increased its Bitcoin holdings to 843,775 BTC, a 25% growth since the start of the year. As part of a new monetization strategy, Strategy sold approximately $218.4 million worth of Bitcoin, mainly to fund dividends for preferred shareholders, with $216 million of that sold after Q2 ended. The company also built a $3.75 billion cash reserve, which it claims is sufficient to cover over two years of dividend and interest payments, aiming to insulate itself from Bitcoin's volatility while meeting obligations. Following the earnings release, Strategy's stock (MSTR) rose 4.7% in regular trading but corrected slightly after-hours. This pattern reflects how the company's accounting results are heavily tied to Bitcoin's price swings, even as its long-term strategy remains unchanged. The report indicates that Strategy is maintaining its core strategy of accumulating Bitcoin while building a financial buffer. This quarterly loss follows a recognizable pattern, with the company posting significant unrealized losses in previous quarters (e.g., $12.4 billion in Q4 2025 and ~$12.5 billion in Q1 2026) due to fair-value accounting. A key technical shift is its new monetization program, which introduces periodic selling pressure on the market, transitioning Strategy from a pure accumulator to a participant that occasionally adds supply. A critical question remains: how long can the cash reserve cover dividend obligations if a Bitcoin price downturn persists beyond two years?

Will Terrorist Durov Ban Russian Officials?

Telegram founder Pavel Durov publicly reacted to being labeled a "terrorist" by Russian authorities, stating the designation came after he refused demands for mass surveillance and censorship on the platform. In a Telegram post, he highlighted that this status formally bans him from "publishing information online." Durov concluded with a statement widely circulated: Russian officials "clearly don't understand who can ban whom on the internet." This remark suggests Durov could potentially restrict official Russian government and officials' channels on Telegram, which continue to operate on the platform despite its formal blocking in Russia. The situation parallels previous, slow-moving state directives, like switching officials to domestic cars, contrasted with the current push to migrate all government communication to the Russian-made messenger MAX by 2030. However, reports indicate many officials still use Telegram via workarounds, fearing surveillance on MAX, while alternatives like BiP and KakaoTalk recently became inaccessible in Russia without a VPN. Durov has not specified any immediate actions against state channels. His statement is an initial response, with further developments depending on the authorities' reaction. The dynamic differs from 2020 when Russian regulators lifted a block on Telegram; now, Durov implies control from within the platform itself over the official accounts that persisted through that earlier blockade.

DeepSeek V4 Official Version Arrives, New Capabilities Emerge, Value-for-Money King Enters the Fray

On July 31st, DeepSeek officially launched the public API beta for its DeepSeek-V4-Flash model. A key highlight is its performance on multiple Agent benchmark tests, reportedly nearing or even surpassing the level of the V4-Pro preview version from three months ago. Notably, the Flash model achieves this with significantly smaller scale (130B active parameters vs. Pro's 490B), suggesting that post-training optimization and data quality may be as crucial as raw model size. DeepSeek emphasized that the V4-Flash-0731 uses the same model architecture and size as its preview version, with improvements attributed solely to "re-trained post-training." The update also marks the official debut of DeepSeek's self-developed Agent framework, "Harness." The move signals DeepSeek's strategic push to position its cost-effective Flash model as a competitive base for Agent applications—scenarios requiring autonomous planning, tool usage, and complex task execution—where inference speed and cost are critical. By natively supporting OpenAI's Responses API format and adapting for code-generation scenarios, DeepSeek aims not just to be a cheaper alternative but to establish its own ecosystem in the Agent era. This release follows DeepSeek's record-breaking ~$50 billion fundraising round roughly two months prior, underscoring market confidence in its technology and commercialization prospects. The company is reportedly preparing for another funding round at a valuation of approximately $71 billion. The Flash model's advancement represents a step in fulfilling the high expectations that come with this valuation, setting the stage for the impending release of the V4-Pro official version and intensifying competition in the global Agent landscape.
