I'm just a little concerned that the halving will no longer be an ATH trigger. I think this is slowly becoming a routine that is predictable so everyone is getting their hopes up for this event, while some of the big "players" are preparing for several scenarios that prevent more cash flow from coming into the industry.
It's just your concern, and there is no proof that it will ever happen. For me, I still believe that history will repeat itself, and in the event that history does not repeat itself, I do believe that bitcoin will rise in price somehow in the future. This is a financial market and if bitcoin doesn't go up, the game is over. So market makers won't let that happen because this is where they make money so easily, they will find ways to maintain it.
