If you’ve been on Crypto Twitter (or X) in the last few days, you’ve likely witnessed the chaos. CZ, Binance founder, former CEO, and one of the most influential voices in crypto, went from heavily promoting the “Bitcoin supercycle” narrative in January to essentially saying “nah, maybe not” in a January 30 AMA on Binance Square.
And then he pinned a big chunk of the blame on the community itself. Specifically, the endless FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt) directed at him and Binance on Crypto Twitter.
The internet did what the internet does; memes exploded, people called him out for flip-flopping, others accused him of market manipulation, and a lot of “told you so” energy flooded timelines. So was this a real cancellation of the supercycle dream, or just CZ hedging in turbulent times? Let’s unpack it honestly.
1. From Supercycle Hype to Sudden Caution
Rewind to early-mid January 2026. CZ was all-in on the idea that the classic 4-year Bitcoin halving cycle is dead. In interviews (CNBC, Davos panels, social posts), he said things like:
- “I have very strong feelings it will probably be a supercycle in 2026 for Bitcoin.”
- The U.S. pro-crypto shift under Trump could inspire global adoption and break the boom-bust pattern.
Community accounts ran with it hard; posts like “CZ says the 4-year cycle is DEAD, we’re in a SUPERCYCLE” got massive traction when BTC was hovering around $80K.
Then came the January 30 AMA. To be entirely different. When asked about the market outlook, CZ said (paraphrased): “A couple of weeks ago, I was very confident about the supercycle. But now with all that FUD, I’m not sure.”
He didn’t scream “IT’S CANCELLED!” but the crypto world heard it that way, especially when he added that the constant attacks, negativity, and FUD on Crypto Twitter played a role in souring his view.
2. Why He Blamed Crypto Twitter (And Why People Lost It)
CZ’s core point is that the level of toxicity, coordinated-sounding attacks, and relentless negativity toward him/Binance has made the overall vibe too uncertain for bold long-term calls.
He pointed to:
- Endless accusations (listings enabling rugs, insider dumps, the October 10 liquidation mess).
- Copy-paste FUD from unfamiliar accounts (his classic “coordinated” framing).
- Broader community drama makes macro predictions feel pointless.
Unfortunately, people did not take it well. Viral reactions included:
- “So the supercycle is cancelled because people are mean to CZ on X? LMAO”.
- “Mfer literally said the community FUDs too much, so the supercycle is cancelled. Can’t make that shit up.”
- Side-by-side screenshots of his bullish January quotes vs. the AMA clip.
Some called it tone-deaf billionaire energy. Others saw it as CZ dodging responsibility for Binance’s role in market sentiment.
3. Is the Supercycle Really Dead?
Not exactly. CZ didn’t kill it; he just said he’s not as confident anymore. The supercycle thesis still has legs for many:
- Institutional adoption (ETFs, nation-state reserves).
- Potential regulatory tailwinds in the U.S.
- Bitcoin’s scarcity narrative post-halving.
However, macroeconomic headwinds are real due to geopolitical risks, inflation uncertainty, and Bitcoin’s continued lag behind gold as a safe haven during risk-off periods. BTC recently dropped to around $77K, falling short of the expected new highs.
CZ’s pivot is a reflection of sentiment rather than a prophecy. Influencers like him move markets with words, so when the most powerful voice says, “I’m not sure anymore,” people listen and sometimes panic.
4. What This Means for You as a Trader/HODLer
- Short-term: More FUD cycles imply choppy price action. Sentiment can shift quickly.
- Long-term: Adoption has the potential to extend this bull run beyond the four-year cycle. However, expecting an endless upswing is dangerous.
- Don’t bet everything on one voice (including CZ’s): If you believe in Bitcoin’s fundamentals, take advantage of dips to accumulate.
Conclusion
CZ remains one of the most followed voices in crypto. His words still carry weight; whether that’s good or bad, it depends on your view. The real takeaway from this is that Crypto Twitter drama can influence narratives, but it doesn’t control price forever. Markets move on liquidity, adoption, and macro and not memes. How about you? Do you think CZ is right to blame FUD, or is this just another flip-flop?
