Historical data reveals Bitcoin's Thanksgiving-to-Christmas performance is a literal coin toss: 6 up years, 6 down years since 2012. Learn why orange pilling family is brutally hard and the only strategy that actually works.


We analyze Bitcoin's historical holiday performance from 2012-2024, revealing that Thanksgiving-to-Christmas returns are a perfect 50/50 coin toss.
