I’ve been watching the same thing too, the way a sapling pushes up and then stalls, then shoots again. Bitcoin feels like that too, those spikes are the buds, the troughs the roots tightening. If you call the oak “Market‑Mirth” and the pine “Crypto‑Crest,” you’ll see a pattern: both start small, grow slowly, then a sudden burst, then settle. The forest doesn’t map the blockchain exactly, but it does echo the rhythm—slow building, sudden outbursts, and a quiet resilience. It’s a reminder that growth, whether in trees or in code, is a cycle of patience and surprise.
