I have solved it. There is no doubt in my mind that I have absolutely 100% solved the price movement of Bitcoin. The FIFA World Cup causes BTC to crash.

How can I back up this claim? Easy. Let's look at the charts.

Going all the way back to the 2018 World Cup, won by France. BTC's price was over $19,000 during December of 2017. By the end of 2018, the price was roughly $3,200. Thanks Mbappe for the discount!

Moving on to the 2022 World Cup, won by Argentina. BTC's price was over $50,000 during December of 2021. By the end of 2022, the price was roughly $17,000. Thanks Messi for the discount!

Now leading into the 2026 World Cup. BTC's price was over $90,000 during December of 2025. By the end of 2026, nobody knows what the price will be. More importantly, what player will be blessing humanity with another opportunity to join the Bitcoin movement?

Facts don't lie, and fact's don't care about your feelings. Hard evidence right here. My theories on what it is about the FIFA World Cup that causes the crash? I think it's fairly simple. The only thing you can use in futbol is your foot. That is kicking. Lots of kicking. Kicking is an act that can bring someone down, with such an idea being prevalent in sayings like "getting kicked while you're down". The conceptual act of getting toppled is extremely present in our minds during the time of the FIFA World Cup, which causes BTC to crash. Every... single... time.

Thanks for reading, and I hope you feel enlightened.

Or it could be because the halving cycle is also on a 4 year schedule and that causes miners to lose profit in the short term making the industry momentarily lose faith in the project, meaning the FIFA World Cup also occurring on a 4 year schedule is simply a coincidence, but I am more inclined to believe correlation is definitely causation in this case.
