In the past few months, Bitcoin $BTC has behaved more like a tech stock versus the "digital gold" it was designed to be. š§ While Gold has remained flat šŖ, volatility from Bitcoin has provided big gains and losses like any shares of companies such as Nvidia or Tesla. ā”ļø Hereās what this might mean: BTC is being treated like a risk asset š Investors are betting it is a growth asset š± It is an asset reacting to interest rates and market direction, both up and down. šš While gold offers stability and tangibility, bitcoin provides advantages such as divisibility, portability, and transparency through its digital infrastructure š. Both bitcoin and gold are commonly viewed as means to diversify a portfolio š° and hedge against inflation resulting from fiat currency debasement. šµ So, is Bitcoin a panic buy or high-risk asset? For now, it is behaving more like the NASDAQ than a vault of gold. š»šāØ

Good morning, everyone! Today, we will talk about the #MetaplanetBTCPurchase ! The newspapers and headlines are reporting that the Japanese Hotel and Crypto company šÆšµ Metaplanet (listed as TYO:3350 on the JPY, ISIN JP3481200008) purchased 117 Bitcoin (worth around $7.2 million š² at the moment of the transaction) as part of its new Bitcoin-focused strategy. This move positions Metaplanet not only as one of the first publicly traded Japanese companies to hold Bitcoin as a treasury asset but also as one of the first ever to invest in the crypto market. š Metaplanet believes that Bitcoin can act as a hedge against inflation and serve as a long-term asset, similar to gold šŖ. The company plans to continue adding more coins to its balance sheet by buying more in the future! šš° What do you think about this move? Will you buy Bitcoin or sell due to the increase in profits? šø

Dubai has taken a major step toward digital transformation by integrating Cryptocurrency payments into its public administration! šāļø
Citizens and businesses will now be able to pay for taxes and fines using cryptos, which will be automatically converted in AED (Dirhams). This action is part of Dubaiās Cashless financial strategy launched in Oct. 2024, which aims to have over 90% of transactions digitalized.
Another business in Dubai, the Trump International Hotel which is still under construction, will accept $BTC as payment, highlighting the cityās openness to innovation in finance.
In summary, these moves will increase crypto reliability and usefulness.
After months of selling, $BTC miners have started holding onto their coins and even adding more to their reserves. š° Between mid-April and mid-May, they added around 2,700 BTC, which suggests a growing confidence in Bitcoinās future.
At the same time, a popular market signal called the āHash Ribbonsā just flashed a buy signal; this indicator tracks miner activity and has often predicted price increases in the past (Since the last signal in March, Bitcoinās price has already gone up by about 20%.).
Together, miner accumulation and the Hash Ribbons signal could mean that Bitcoin is entering another strong phase! šš
What do you think? Will Bitcoin increase even more? thank you for your time and for reading this!

#CryptoComeback Per Solana ( #SOL ) which, despite being one of the least affected by the "free fall" period of cryptocurrencies - the disaster that occurred between January 2025 and April 2025 - is showing strong signs of recovery and upward momentum!! ššš
Thanks also to its streamlined architecture that allows it to be used for exchanges and transactions at reduced costs, it has been an important player in the field of Crypto-Assets since its inception.
I foresee a prosperous period for this coin and for #BTC which is increasingly becoming a "safe haven" asset similar to gold and other precious metals. š„
šØāāļø The rules established by "Markets in Crypto-Assets" founded by #EuropeanUnion in 2020 with the aim of protecting private and corporate European investors have profoundly shaken the foundations of many systems of #crypto . š
In particular (as expressed in the key points of the attached image) its arm of justice has struck assets coming from outside the Eurozone to, according to the commission, safeguard against fraud and financial instability.
šø Among the various affected cryptos are: -Tether USDT -Dai -First Digital USD (FDUSD) -TrueUSD (TUSD) -Pax Dollar (USDP) -Anchored Euro (AEUR) -TerraUSD (UST) -TerraClassicUSD (USTC) -PAX Gold (PAXG)
What do you think? What repercussions do you think this action will have? Is there a possibility of lifting the bans?
One thing is certain: the crypto community is strong and such a blow, although painful, will not undermine the entire structure.
