Buying Bitcoin at $68K might feel like a dip. But history tells a different story. After the 2013 and 2017 peaks, Bitcoin took about 3 years just to recover its old highs. The 2021 top also needed almost 28 months. The last peak was around $126K in October 2025, and we are only about 150 days into the drop. That’s why this may not be a simple dip yet. In past cycles, the real recovery usually takes years, not months.
