Peter McCormack’s Twitter regrets: ‘I can feel myself being a dick’ — Hall of Flame

Podcaster Peter McCormack has a love/hate relationship with Twitter and admits he can sometimes be “a dick to other people” online.

Peter McCormack’s Twitter regrets: ‘I can feel myself being a dick’ — Hall of Flame

What Bitcoin Did podcaster Peter McCormack admits that he has a “weird relationship with Twitter,” as he believes it “brings out the worst in people.”

He’s worked hard to build up more than half a million followers to promote his show but still isn’t sure that Twitter is a “net positive” because it “elevates a lot of stupidity” out of people. And he includes himself in that assessment.

“I can feel myself being a dick to other people [on Twitter]. Like, I criticize it and then realize I’m a hypocrite for doing it myself,” he says.

He’s more of a fan of podcasting, though, and his insightful interviews with A-list guests, such as MicroStrategy’s Michael Saylor, ARK Invest’s Cathie Wood and analyst Lyn Alden, have seen him amass 1 million listeners a month.

4 things that can spark the next Bitcoin bull cycle

Bitcoin is down 15% from its 2023-highs, but $40,000 may be closer than you think due to several important factors.

4 things that can spark the next Bitcoin bull cycle

Bitcoin (BTC) has dropped nearly 15% from its yearly high of around $31,000, with the recent regulatory crackdowns on Coinbase and Binance crypto exchanges and the Federal Reserve's hawkish forward guidance accelerating its selloff.

Still, Bitcoin is up 60% year-to-date (YTD), holding above a technical support level of $25,000. Moreover, a new bull cycle can begin for a few reasons.

Bitcoin halving

The next Bitcoin halving, a pre-programmed event that slashes the cryptocurrency's supply rate by half every four years, is in April 2024.

The previous three Bitcoin halvings (2012, 2016, 2020) have all preceded massive BTC price rallies and new all-time highs. For instance, BTC is up 276% since the previous halving in May 2020.

The market will likely be in an accumulation zone until the halving, according to analyst Lark Davis, who anticipates Bitcoin to test its record high of $69,000 in the next 18-24 months. One analyst even sees the price hitting $160,000 by April 2024.

Bitcoin price 'sideways boredom' may last 18 months — new research

BTC price cycles suggest that an "arduous road" lies ahead for patient Bitcoin hodlers.

Bitcoin price ‘sideways boredom’ may last 18 months — New research

Bitcoin (BTC) faces up to one-and-a-half years of “boredom” as the bull market gathers steam, a new prediction says.

In the latest edition of its weekly newsletter, “The Week On-Chain,” analytics firm Glassnode predicted an “arduous” period for BTC hodlers next.

Glassnode: Bitcoin hodlers set for 12 months’ “gradual accumulation”

After gaining 70% in the first quarter of 2023, but struggling to hold its ground recently, Bitcoin is dividing opinions when it comes to future price action.

With the 2024 block subsidy halving in sight, some believe a dramatic uptick will characterize the coming year, while others think it will take longer — perhaps until 2025 — for a new all-time high to hit.

For Glassnode, there are signs that a classic pre-bull market phase is playing out, but long-term holders will still need considerable patience.
