If the ‘Dune-Bitcoin theory’ is correct again, then the bottom has been hit

Bitcoin dropped from $75,000 to as low as $59,000 this week, equaling the low of late February. That low coincided with the release of the trailer for Dune 3, and if the conspiracy theory regarding the correlation between Dune and Bitcoin holds true again this time, then we have just passed the bottom and Bitcoin cannot drop any further. There is no logical explanation for it, but it is certainly very entertaining.

Dune-Bitcoin theory

Dune, the science-fiction film starring Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya, is getting ready for its third instalment. Science-fiction fans and crypto fans likely visit the same websites frequently, so a few years ago, one of them came up with the ‘Dune-Bitcoin theory.’ It goes as follows: when planning for the first film was finalized in late 2017-2018, Bitcoin experienced its first major bull run. After the trailer for the first film was released, Bitcoin hit a low for that year in 2020.

Fun fact:

The trailer releases for Dune 1 & 2 both happened at the bottom of bear markets.

Bitcoin went on to have bull runs that led to new all time highs and lasted for years each time.

The first film was actually supposed to be released at the end of 2020 but was postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Dune 1 hit theaters in October 2021, or about 20 days before Bitcoin reached its highest point of the 2020-2021 bull run.

Dune 2 was originally scheduled for late 2023 but was delayed by the writers’ strike in Hollywood. The film was eventually released in 2024, once again at the moment Bitcoin reached a high.

Dune 3

The third film in the series is normally scheduled for release in 2027, but the trailer for it was already released earlier this year, about 15 days after Bitcoin hit the low of late February, which was touched again on Friday at a price of $59,000. If the ‘Dune Bitcoin theory’ is correct this time as well, we will see a new high in 2027 and can expect a nice bull run as from now (although we could test the $59k bottom again during that).

Note that there is no mathematical logic whatsoever behind the theory and that it is simply explained for entertainment purposes.
