Yee is a community based memecoin with one mission: to fight Pepe again. Made to honor the iconic meme rivalry we all know and love.  The Yee Legend  [Filed by: Yee’s Archivist & Legal Representative]  There’s something the meme world refuses to talk about: Pepe the Frog stole Yee the Dino’s entire launch plan.  Yee had been preparing for his comeback for months, but Pepe launched two weeks earlier, hijacking Yee’s concept and selling it as his own.  The charges? Meme theft, intellectual forgery, and historical erasure.  Yee’s official contract was filed in April 2023, right after Pepe’s surprise drop. This wasn’t timing—it was theft.

Several analysts say those flows may be reshaping Bitcoin’s traditional market structure.Fundstrat’s Tom Lee recently&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/fundstrat-s-tom-lee-warns-too-many-da-ts-are-chasing-too-little-trading-volume/cLIHJG7REVN">questioned</a> whether Bitcoin still follows the four-year halving cycle long cited by market veterans. He pointed to heavy selling by long-term holders and argued that past timing patterns may no longer apply.“If Bitcoin makes a new high in January, there’s no four-year cycle,” he said. “If Bitcoin closes above 126,000 – there’s no four-year cycle.”He noted that other markets once governed by reliable timing patterns, such as ISM manufacturing data, copper, and gold, have also broken away from old rhythms.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Analysts Debate Cycles</h2>Morgan Stanley strategists have&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/cryptocurrency/bitcoin-drops-to-103-000-morgan-stanley-analysts-warn-of-fall-season-in-four-year-cycle/cLPIqy0RE5S">struck</a> a more cautious tone. In a recent podcast, Denny Galindo, an investment strategist at Morgan Stanley Wealth Management, said Bitcoin’s historical price behavior follows a three-up, one-down pattern.“We are in the fall season right now,” Galindo said, describing the period as a phase for harvesting gains rather than aggressive accumulation. The key uncertainty, he added, is how long the current downturn lasts before the next cycle begins.That view contrasts with analysts such as Arthur Hayes, chief investment officer and co-founder of Maelstrom, who has&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/bitcoin-steadies-at-122-000-analyst-proclaims-btc-s-4-year-halving-cycle-is-dead/ch67jksR30r">argued</a> that favorable monetary conditions make a prolonged bear market unlikely, challenging the relevance of Bitcoin’s halving-driven cycles.Binance founder and former CEO Changpeng ‘CZ’ Zhao&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/cryptocurrency/cz-predicts-potential-bitcoin-super-cycle-cites-trump-driven-market-tailwinds/cLIrz6yRENG">echoed</a> that sentiment earlier this month, saying Bitcoin could be entering a “super cycle.” Speaking at the Bitcoin MENA conference, Zhao said President Donald Trump’s pro-crypto stance and growing institutional participation have made the current phase distinct from previous cycles.“We’re bridging the gap between crypto being a grassroots movement and Wall Street participation,” Zhao said. “And Wall Street is the largest institutional market in the world.”Read also:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/cryptocurrency/trump-media-shuffles-bitcoin-holdings-after-crossing-1-billion/cLesjQZREH8">Trump Media Shuffles Bitcoin Holdings After Crossing $1 Billion Mark, Stash May Have Slipped Below 10K BTC</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Bitcoin Heads For Its Weakest Q4 Since 2018 Crypto Winter 

Bitcoin is down more than 23% so far in the fourth quarter, putting it on track for its weakest year-end performance since 2018.

Bitcoin’s Price Heads For Its Weakest Fourth Quarter Since 2018 Crypto Winter

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>Saylor estimated Bitcoin could trade near $1 million if Strategy reaches 5% ownership</li><li>He said the next phase of accumulation will require far more capital for smaller gains.</li><li>Strategy expects its accumulation to slow naturally as prices rise.</li></ul>Michael Saylor said Strategy plans to slow its Bitcoin (BTC) accumulation only once the company controls between 5% and 7.5% of the cryptocurrency’s total supply, outlining a long-term ceiling driven by scarcity rather than strategy.In an&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRKbs_WQnug">episode</a> of The Breakdown with David Gokhshtein, the Strategy executive chairman stated that ownership thresholds of that scale would coincide with dramatically higher Bitcoin prices. If Strategy were to reach roughly 5% of Bitcoin’s circulating supply, Saylor said, the price could approach $1 million per coin. At 7.5%, he suggested Bitcoin could trade closer to $10 million, a move he attributed to structural supply constraints rather than speculative demand.<a href="https://stocktwits.com/coins/bitcoin">Bitcoin’s price</a> was trading at around $89,200 on Monday morning, up 1.3% in the last 24 hours. On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around the apex cryptocurrency remained in ‘extremely bearish’ territory over the past day, accompanied by ‘low’ levels of chatter. BTC’s record high so far stands at over $126,000, seen in October earlier this year.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Strategy’s Accumulation Math</h2>So far, Strategy has acquired about 3.2% of Bitcoin’s total supply, spending roughly $50 billion over the past five years. Saylor said that the pace of accumulation will become increasingly difficult to sustain as prices rise and supply tightens.“It costs us $50 billion to get to 3.2%. The next $50 billion won’t get me 3.2%—it’ll probably get me 1% or less.” – Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman, Strategy.He described Bitcoin buying as a process of deploying ever-larger amounts of capital against a fixed and diminishing supply, naturally slowing accumulation over time.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Scarcity And Long-Term Holders</h2>Saylor also stated that institutional participation has so far had a limited impact on Bitcoin’s long-term holders. Despite an estimated $100 billion in inflows from asset managers such as BlackRock and roughly $50 billion from Strategy itself, he said that about 85% of Bitcoin remains held by early adopters.Even with an additional trillion dollars in institutional inflows, Saylor estimated long-term holders could still control roughly 75% of supply.

Since blockchain transactions are publicly recorded, governments can monitor activity, which he argued could lead to interference. He added that gold does not face this issue.&nbsp;<blockquote>“Gold is the only asset authorities can’t mess with and control.”– Ray Dalio, Founder, Bridgewater Associates</blockquote>He also raised concerns over technological risks, suggesting Bitcoin could theoretically be “cracked, broken, or controlled,” drawing parallels to synthetic diamonds or gold substitutes.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Bitcoin As A Hedge, Not A Core Holding</h2>Despite these concerns, Dalio reiterated he holds “a little bit” of Bitcoin, positioning it as a hedge rather than a central portfolio asset. He did not disclose exact allocations during the podcast, emphasizing that portfolio construction depends on the broader mix of assets and the role each plays.&nbsp;In his framework, Bitcoin exists in a separate category designed to store wealth outside traditional financial systems. However, in an&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/ray-dalio-says-80-into-a-full-blown-ai-bubble-uses-nvidia-as-example/cLPAjqVREaa">interview</a> with CNBC earlier this year, Dalio had disclosed that around 1% of his portfolio is allocated to Bitcoin.Gold, according to Dalio, remains the cornerstone of nontraditional wealth preservation. He reiterated that he generally considers a 5% to 15% allocation to gold appropriate. By contrast, stablecoins, which are often pegged to fiat currencies, serve primarily as transactional tools rather than reliable stores of value, due to their lack of inherent yield, Dalio said.Read also:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/cryptocurrency/michael-saylor-adds-green-dots-to-orange-dots-before-weekly-bitcoin-buy/cLeFTKqREt0">Michael Saylor Puts ‘Green Dots’ Spin To Orange Dots Signal Ahead Of Possible Weekly Bitcoin Buy</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
