As always, though, there has to be a catch. A lossback offer with only 1x wagering requirement doesn't sound sustainable to me. OP missed providing the more important details. That's why it sounded so counterintuitive. But I already guessed it was a temporary promotional offer. Otherwise, it's either highly misleading or an outright scam.
That’s correct. They wouldn’t be able to survive long with a 100% lossback guarantee, especially with a high limit.
I also haven’t checked yet if it includes sports betting, because if it does, that promo can easily be abused.
If it’s limited to slots or games with a clear house edge, then the promo makes more sense. Even then, it’s obviously not something that can be permanent.

That's how a super cycle is made--everybody talks about it as if it's a thing. Whether that's likely or not doesn't matter. Influencers have got to influence. That's precisely why they're around: to create hype, build confidence, convince investors, and the like. So, they just have to repeat it over and over again until it becomes true.
I think I've already read about this news months ago but, yeah, it's one of the good things happening in 2026. So, indeed, a super cycle might be coming this year.
You really believe that a super cycle is coming? I won't bet on it unless Bitcoin makes a new bottom this year, to me it will just be another good opportunity to start buying Bitcoin again like 2022, and yes after a good bottom the price will start to recover for many months to come.
Right now I don't expect anything than a new bottom, Bitcoin just sinked into the quicksand, if you know what that means, we are going lower than many people prepared for..
The idea here is, the reason why they're saying a super cycle occur is because the possibilities of BTC reaching bottom is low, it breaks the 4 year cycle due to global adaptation where firms and countries are now into crypto. It'll be not bullish if they sold of it after that hype, not a wise decision because it shows that it's like pure FOMO. I'm waiting for a new bottom but at the same time, I slightly believing on it, it's already 2026 and if we will follow the historical chart, it's unusual already because the halving occurs in 2024 and 2 years from now, we're on another halving that could start another bull run. It's like we're expecting a dip based on the history but we're blind on the fact that Crypto changed already, it's part of the global market. We have to consider that institutional adoption and regulatory progress could redefine what “normal cycles” look like moving forward but I respect the others POV, 'cause right now crypto for me is really unpredictable and wise move is to DCA as anything could happen.

Did the 2008 financial crisis and distrust in banks make Bitcoin’s success unavoidable?
No, I don't think so. Had Bitcoin been launched a year earlier or later, it would still have achieved the same level of success. The timing played a minor role. Bitcoin was launched in 2009, but it was decades in the making. It was largely unknown for a while. And the earliest people who appreciated the beauty of Bitcoin weren't financial people but computer geeks who were conscious of what's happening in reality.
Even if Bitcoin is launched today, its rise would still be inevitable, its relevance not diminished a bit. That's because of itself and against a severely problematic monetary and financial system as backdrop.
So it is not the timing but the use case which drove the growth.
Bitcoin finally got to the stage where it's relevant and is seen as something worth diving into
The BTC itself didn't change - the people looking at it did. And its value only grew and will grow further.

5. Post 66310778 (unedited backup) (by Smack That Ace) (scraped on Mon Jan 19 10:16:25 CET 2026) in 4-year cycle is not dead :
It may not be fully dead, but it isn't completely the old 4-year cycle anymore. In the first place, there was already an ATH shortly before the last halving. That's not part of the 4-year cycle that we used to know. Also, I'm optimistic that another ATH will be hit within the year. If that happens, then it's another big change in the 4-year cycle.
Other than that, it seems the 4-year cycle is still alive. And the downturn this time around didn't really arrive earlier. If we take a look at the past ATHs, they occur around 1.5 years from the halving. After that, correction follows.
I agree that Bitcoin reaching an ATH before the halving somewhat indicates that the market cycle has changed compared to previous cycles. However, I would only acknowledge that the cycle has been completely broken if Bitcoin can reach a new ATH this year, as you predict. Conversely, if that does not happen and bitcoin continues to be dumped this year, this scenario would still fit the logic of the old cycle
Each stage of the market is influenced by different factor, ranging from macroeconomic condition and liquidity to investor behavior. Therefore, it is unrealistic to expect the cycles to repeat mechanically and identically down to the smallest detail. And it would be unfair to hastily conclude that the cycle has completely changed because of a few minor change

But, what do you guys think, is this misleading or just genius marketing?
Misleading for sure. It's just like the clickbait titles and thumbnails in YouTube, the only goal is to make the audience click.
Surely, there must be a better way to put it.
They could just replace "GET" with "WIN":
This implies that you have to play, but participation is free.
8. Post 66306096 (unedited backup) (by Curious T) (scraped on Sat Jan 17 22:28:43 CET 2026) in Short term memory in Bitcoin is a problem. :
Another explanation to a somewhat similar behavior is that they're just trying to influence the market. Many who are hyping the market during the bullish times are only trying to make it even more bullish, to extend the bull run as much as possible. But let's be careful about these personalities. They sometimes say one thing, do another. They're also exhorting everybody to buy the dip, buy the dip, buy the dip. But they're dumping and taking profit. They want people to be rush and emotional, but they're taking carefully measured steps themselves.
It's mainly the whales that do this. I can see a lot of them doing this already for this year. They talk about how 2026 is going to be a good year for bitcoin, some talk about how bitcoin is going to get a new ATH while others even talk about the price hitting 200,000 dollars. While this may be just their speculation, I think it can also be a way to make people buy bitcoin so the price can go up as high as possible then they will take profit before it crashes again.
Well, like you said, we have to be careful.

10. Post 66299416 (unedited backup) (by mindrust) (scraped on Fri Jan 16 03:21:31 CET 2026) in Signature Campaign Manager Marketshare/Revenue Observer:
Although it fluctuates, the current $45,000 of revenue per week is indeed huge. That's not even counting the campaigns of Bitsler, Stake, and others that pay in stablecoins, and other campaigns like review, personal text, or avatar that also pay in Bitcoin.
Anyway, I thought the ranking was based on "marketshare/revenue" but then I noticed that julerz12 is ranked higher than icopress even though the latter has a larger weekly revenue share. So it's about campaign slots.
- There are currently 37 bitcoin paying signature campaigns in the forum and that's in line with the historical averages.
I was looking at the list and there are only 32 of them. I wonder if you're missing some campaigns on the list or the total is wrong.
Thanks for the input, It looks like it was my own typo. I counted 32 too and I don’t see it showing 37 in the chart either. That means this was a human issue, not code. Shit happens

In the first place, Bitcoin isn't a source of income. There are many bank accounts in my country that were closed, funds temporarily frozen, because they declared Bitcoin as source of funds. Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, the point is that Bitcoin isn't a job or a business. It's an investment risk only those who have the money can take.
As far as trading is concerned, that's just doubling the risk. If you hodl Bitcoin, there's risk. If you trade it, the risk has multiplied.
Bitcoin can be a source of income for some people. It's not the same as a regular job, but you can earn it through activities like content creation or development work paid in BTC. Trading profits also count as income. Diversification is smart, but saying Bitcoin isn't a source of income at all isn't accurate.
How does what you have given as example makes bitcoin a source of income other than what the people engaged in those activities you mentioned as paid with just as they can be paid with fiat like the USD. Does that makes the USD a source of income? Or isn't what you do to earn the USD that is the source of income?
Bitcoin is mostly recognised as an investment asset to make profit through market opportunities. And I seem to be in agreement with that notion than refering it as a source of income.

If an investor is shaken by the fluctuations of BTC, it's no investor, it's a fraud.
Or perhaps that's what exactly an investor feels. If an investor is shaken by the fluctuations of Bitcoin's price, he/she's indeed just an investor. If somebody isn't bothered at all by the rise and fall of the price, perhaps he/she isn't just an investor but a believer.
To be fair, however, it might be a matter of how much risk you're taking in getting into Bitcoin. It might be possible one is just investing his/her entire lifesavings into Bitcoin that's why he/she's a bit shaken by its market performance.
I think its also worth to consider that even those committed can shaken up if they expose on something more risky especially if they can handle due to financial conditions.
What I think different on this if they are bothered on those volatilities happening, But if they have good strategy and well financial structure they can survive on the volatile market.
Investor could able to believe on long term on Bitcoin while they are managing those potential risk in responsible way.

Is there anybody who's expecting that a super cycle will happen just because this man has made such tweet? Isn't that too much naïveté?
But this isn't just CZ actually speaking about the possibility of a super cycle. Many others are. In a way, this is like a movement; self-serving, of course. But to me this isn't as much making a prediction as trying to influence the market. I don't think they're actually seeing something in 2026 that could possibly create a super cycle. They're just saying it to try make it happen.
Of course speculation are what gives rise to the market and not necessarily mean that there is something that would propel the market to achieve that. Yes many people are positive about the market while some are optimistic based on their investments or involvement in one or two coins which they could be expecting a super cycle to happen and of course they would definitely give support to it so that it would likely happen so easily as they expected. If I am not mistakenly, last Year there were several predictions about Bitcoin hitting half a million, which everywhere were shaking and many people hope that it would happen we ends up seeing 126k which many never expected.
14. Post 66296412 (unedited backup) (by MRY) (scraped on Thu Jan 15 11:04:49 CET 2026) in Beginning story.:
Your story makes me wonder how strong gambling's influence is in my culture. I should say you're past your teens when your story happened. Am I right? If I am, I'm glad that you only started gambling on sports matches when you're already kind of old. Here in my country, it's so common for young kids to bet on sports matches, any sports matches for that matter, including Esports, and whether they're players themselves or just watching a game, be it live or on TV.
The high rate of gambling culture in the youth is a sign that there is a change in social values that we should be highly aware of. I have observed that simple access to the internet has caused adolescents to struggle with being able to identify what is good as a healthy activity and what is bad as a speculation that can ruin their lives financially. We should have a healthy competitive edge that is unfilled with the ambivalence of a chase of money. Inculcation of proper financial reasoning will make the difference between weakening future generations to plunge in economical disasters that are likely to be fatal.

It even tops OrangeFren's list of exchanges, both small swaps and large swaps, probably because it offers the cheapest fees and the largest OrangeFren guarantee. If somebody looks for the best option using OrangeFren, he/she might end up using FixedFloat.
Orangefren will only cover your losses if you use Fixedfloat from their site => i.e. do the exchange with their referral link. Otherwise warranty is not possible.
