The Crypto Price-Innovation Cycle
by Chris Dixon and Eddy Lazzarin

People who’ve been in crypto for a long time view the space as evolving in cycles, alternating between periods of high activity and “crypto winters.” There have been four cycles so far.

The First Cycle: 2009 - 2012 (BTC)
The Second Cycle: 2012 - 2016 (ETH)
The Third Cycle: 2016 - 2019 (Defi)
The Fourth Cycle: 2019 - 2022 (NFT)

These cycles appear chaotic but have an underlying order, roughly characterized as:

✅ the price of Bitcoin and other crypto assets goes up,
✅ leading to new interest and social media activity,
✅ leading to more people getting involved, contributing new ideas and code,
✅ leading to projects and startups getting created,
✅ leading to product launches that inspire more people, eventually culminating in the next cycle.

What's next after NFT? are you excited after this winter season? buckle up! most of the tech startup are hustling in preparation for the fifth cycle.
