Bitcoin does not change its code in relation to anniversaries, but sentiment can change. The renewed debate on the topics of scarcity, decentralization and long-term value is frequently caused by the historic milestones.
The increase in social activity is more likely to occur on or around January 3 particularly among the veteran holders and developers. Even when price responses are subdued, that attention can be reflected in on-chain activity, positioning in derivatives, and spot volume.
In the case of traders, the date is not a catalyst rather a marker of the context. It acts as a reminder to the market of the existence of Bitcoin, and why its supply plan, security framework, and governance system are not being altered.
