This article exposes the truth about Bitcoin DeFi projects. Due to Bitcoin's lack of a Turing-complete virtual machine, projects like BitVM, Rootstock, Sovryn, and BitcoinOS are either heavily centralized or impractical to implement.

On the first anniversary of Bitcoin’s 2024 halving, prices range between $80,000 and $90,000. In terms of percentage gains, this is the weakest post-halving performance on record. Historically, Bitcoin typically experienced strong rebounds within 12 months after each halving: after the 2012 halving, BTC’s price skyrocketed by an astonishing 7,000%, while the 2016 and 2020 cycles saw gains of 291% and 541%, respectively. So far, the 2024 cycle has yet to follow this trend. Except for 2012, the price rallies that usually emerged nine months post-halving have clearly disappeared this time.

Unlike previous halving cycles that saw explosive price surges, this cycle has experienced a more subdued increase of just 31%, compared to a 436% rise in the same timeframe during the previous cycle. Long-term holder metrics (like the MVRV ratio) show a sharp decline in unrealized profits, suggesting a maturing market with compressed upside potential.
