## Articles
- [Understanding the Four Seasons of Bitcoin](https://www.transformventures.io/blog/four-seasons) (April 2026): Michael Terpin's Four Seasons model maps bitcoin's price to a predictable four-year cycle driven by the halving. This framework has become one of the most widely referenced models for understanding where bitcoin is in its macro trajectory, and more importantly, where it's headed next.
- [Why Bitcoin Could Reach $1 Million by 2033](https://www.transformventures.io/blog/1m-by-2033) (March 2026): With each halving reducing supply while institutional demand accelerates through spot ETFs, the math points to a dramatically higher bitcoin price over the next two cycles. This isn't wishful thinking, it's the logical conclusion of basic supply and demand economics applied to the most scarce digital asset ever created.
- [How Algorithmic Trading Enhances Bitcoin Cycle Returns](https://www.transformventures.io/blog/algo-trading) (February 2026): The Bitcoin Supercycle Fund combines seasonal awareness with algorithmic execution. This dual-layer approach leverages the best of both worlds: macro cycle positioning informed by the Four Seasons model and micro-level trade optimization driven by quantitative signals.
- [The Case for a Bitcoin-Only Hedge Fund](https://www.transformventures.io/blog/bitcoin-only-fund) (January 2026): Most digital asset hedge funds diversify across dozens of altcoins, diluting returns and adding complexity. Managing a portfolio of 50 or 100 different tokens requires deep expertise across multiple ecosystems, constant rebalancing, and exposure to projects that may not survive the next bear market. The result is often mediocre performance that fails to justify the fees charged.
