The Shorter Cycle Theory With Larry Cermak

The idea of a multiyear supercycle is fading as shorter cycles take their place. In this episode, NLW and guest Larry Cermak, director of research at The Block, discuss the transformation of the supercycle timeline as the crypto space evolves. The discussion includes: An analysis of the macro-narrative and the current “wait-and-see” mode Shorter cycles taking hold as the crypto space matures The larger institutional narrative promised a bevy of substantial allocators to contribute to the market. That narrative, however, has weakened over time as the promise falls short. Add on the uncertainty from China’s partial ban on mining and Tesla’s environmental concerns, and the narrative continues to lose momentum. What narrative will take over next? When will this “wait-and-see” mode end? Historically, crypto was perceived to fall into semi-stable cycles.
