> James Thorne linked his view to changing market structure and his experience with commodities supercycles.

Bitcoin may be entering a generational supercycle as market structure changes, James Thorne, chief market strategist at Wellington-Altus Private Wealth, argued in a discussion published Oct. 15. He said the familiar four-year cycle is over.

Thorne drew on his experience with a commodities supercycle to explain why he believes current market conditions differ. The discussion also covered who might buy Bitcoin next, settlement, collateral, tokenization and Bitcoin’s market capitalization compared with gold.
