Abstract

Timing is critical for any investor, in cryptoassets or otherwise. While timing an investment well is difficult, it helps to understand macroeconomic cycles, cryptoasset-specific cycles, and ad-hoc calendar adjustments. This chapter investigates these cycles and other cryptoasset trends. Not only will this knowledge reassure investors facing the naturally wild fluctuations of their investments, but it will also contribute to some valuation methods investigated later in the book.

The trendline follows the equation 10a a + b log10 (d), where d is the number of days since Bitcoin’s inception (January 3, 2009) and a and b are fixed coefficients selected to optimally fit the daily price data (i.e., –14.39 and 5.16, respectively). The website Look Into Bitcoin provides up-to-date data on Bitcoin’s price with logarithmic growth curves [84].
