An old investor who entered the market in 2015 shares some thoughts
#BinanceMegadropSolv In the market of cryptocurrencies, the effect of choice is particularly pronounced compared to effort. If you had bought Bitcoin and Ethereum six years ago, you would definitely have seen a hundredfold increase. The darkest time of the last bear market was at 312, where Bitcoin was priced at 3800 and Ethereum at 88. The peak of the bull market was at 69000, and Ethereum was at 4800. If you're bad at math, please calculate; Ethereum has increased 60 times. If you choose altcoins, there's a high probability that your principal will shrink by more than ten times, without making any money, and you may face significant losses. Most importantly, you will miss the dividend period of timing. In the future, to make money, you can only wait for the next cycle. Since I entered the market, there have been at least tens of thousands of cryptocurrencies. Especially the projects launched in 18-19 years, many of them are no longer around. During that time, new projects emerged almost every day, but three months later, most of them had vanished. Many project teams would make a quick profit and then move on to the next project, continuing to exploit. Therefore, altcoins are likely to be here this year, but not necessarily in the next cycle. In a bear market, altcoins are not worth investing in at all. For newcomers, it's better to hold Bitcoin and Ethereum first. If these two don’t rise, which altcoins dare to rally? Bitcoin and Ethereum have crossed multiple bull and bear markets, but many altcoins peaked right at the start and then fell all the way down, never returning to their previous prices. The next cycle might not even include them. Investing in Bitcoin during a bear market is undoubtedly the safest method, because in the early stages of a bull market, Bitcoin will lead the market forward. After a while, altcoins will gradually start to move. Of course, dollar-cost averaging isn’t just random; you can invest a fixed amount every month, or buy 20% during each significant drop. Other coins are uncertain, but Bitcoin will definitely rise. Stick with it until the next halving cycle, and I believe the returns will be considerable. For us retail investors, without the advantage of funds and news, the only thing we can rely on is patience. Before the market is determined, waiting patiently for opportunities is the safest approach. Wanting to make money in the financial market, patiently waiting for opportunities is much more reliable than randomly operating on your own. If you don't even have patience and want to make money, you can only rely on luck. I hope that no matter how the market changes, we can walk together, helping others as we help ourselves

Bitcoin: a journey that has created new millionaires at an unparalleled speed
#ReboundRally With the price of Bitcoin surpassing $100,000, it marked a milestone in its journey that has created new millionaires at an unparalleled speed. Compared to traditional investors, like stocks, BTC investors have become millionaires 22 times faster. Bitcoin has created new millionaires 22 times faster than stock investors From the report by NFTEvening and Storible, it emerged that the journey of Bitcoin has created new millionaires and billionaires at an unparalleled speed compared to traditional investments, such as stocks. In fact, it seems that investors in BTC have become millionaires 22 times faster than stock investors. Not only that, investors in BTC have become billionaires, a whopping 1,064 times faster than stock investors. Expressed in numbers, with the price of BTC surpassing the 100,000$ threshold, 14,211 new millionaires in BTC and 4 new billionaires have been born. These individuals have seen their investments multiply exponentially, demonstrating Bitcoin’s ability to generate wealth. The report states that to achieve the status of “millionaire in BTC”, those who invested only $4000 took 3,775 days (~10.3 years). On average, these individuals would have started buying BTC in 2010 until becoming millionaires in 2020. With the same amount invested and time period, gli investitori di azioni blue-chip would have instead seen their wallet grow to only 45,000 dollars. Regarding the status of “billionaires in BTC”, instead, it would have taken an investment of $30,500 and a good 4,645 days (~12.7 years) as a HODLer to succeed in this endeavor. On average, these investors started buying BTC at the beginning of 2011 and reached their first milestone of 1 billion dollars by the end of 2023. Even here, with the same amount invested and time period, gli investitori di azioni blue-chip would have instead seen their wallet grow to only 950,000 dollars. Bitcoin: the performance of BTC creates new millionaires and surpasses the stocks of Big companies The report also analyzed the performance of Bitcoin (BTC) in terms of returns, comparing them to the stocks of Big companies by market capitalization. In fact, with reference to the period 2010-2020, BTC offered a return 20 times higher than Apple shares, 9 times higher than Nvidia shares and 4 times more than Tesla shares. Continuing with the ranking of the top companies by market cap, then, BTC has offered returns 40 times more than the Blue-chip stocks of Microsoft and 11 times more than those of Amazon. Expanding the period from 2010 to today, calculating the price of BTC over $100,000, BTC returns have been 76,378 times greater than those of Apple, 6,062 times those of Nvidia, and 9,103 times the returns of Tesla. The price of BTC and the forecasts for 2025 While the calculations for the new BTC millionaires and the new BTC billionaires consider the price of Bitcoin above $100,000, today, December 23, the situation is a bit different. In fact, it is since December 19 that the price of BTC has fallen below that threshold. As of December 23, the price of BTC is $95,300, in a dump of 9% compared to seven days earlier, when it was worth $105,000. BTC was above $100,000 from December 5 to December 19, reaching its all-time high or ATH over $108,000. Despite this price adjustment, the forecasts for BTC are optimistic. In fact, recently, the latest Alpha Market Report by Bitfinex 2024 stated that by mid-2025, the price of BTC will be within the price range of 140,000-200,000 dollars. For the report by Matrixport “Matrix on Target”, the price prediction for Bitcoin is $160,000 in 2025, with a probability that the target could be reached even in a short time.
It's rare that I make assumptions that aren't based on numbers, but I have something that's been on my mind 😅
If I were BlackRock, MicroStrategy, or any other institutional fund, I would do everything to get #Bitcoin above $100,000 before Christmas Eve, or even before the end of the year. Why? Because in terms of marketing, it's much more powerful to let people say: "Look, Bitcoin is at $100,000!" than "It's at $95,000."
Round/psychological numbers are super important for retail, as we've known for a long time. So, it's so much more profitable to let BTC do its own influencer job with a price at 100K rather than 95K.
Okay, I know, it's ULTRAAAA RARE that I throw out this kind of idea, because I'm a numbers and data guy. But hey, I had that in mind.

#BTCOutlook In a small apartment in Austin, Texas, Daniel, a 28-year-old computer lover, heard people online talking about something called Bitcoin. Curious, he started learning everything he could about it. He read about how it worked, how people bought and sold it, and how some were making money with it. At first, Daniel wasn’t sure. The idea of money that only existed online felt strange. But he was good at noticing trends. He saw that big companies and rich people were starting to invest in Bitcoin. He decided to take a chance and put $500—his entire savings—into it. Things didn’t go smoothly at the start. The prices went up and down so quickly that Daniel lost half of his money. But instead of giving up, he worked harder. He read news about Bitcoin every day, studied how prices changed, and joined online groups where people shared tips. One day, he noticed that the price of a coin called Ethereum had dropped a lot. He believed it would go back up, so he used the rest of his money to buy some. Within two months, the price tripled, and his $2,000 investment became $6,000. Excited, Daniel kept going. He started buying coins that were new but had big potential, like Solana. He also learned when to sell so he wouldn’t lose money. He always stayed updated on the latest news about cryptocurrency. After three years, Daniel’s smart choices helped him turn his small savings into over $1 million. He didn’t keep all the money in crypto. He bought a house and invested in other things, like stocks, to make sure his future was secure. People in Austin started calling him "The Crypto King." He often shared his advice, saying, “Only invest money you can afford to lose, and always do your research first.” Daniel’s story inspired many others to dream big and believe in their ability to succeed. *Now, it’s your turn! Take the first step, learn about cryptocurrency, and explore how it could change your future.

Tether’s European Exit: Is the Crypto Market on the Brink of Collapse?
#MarketPullback 💥 Breaking news shaking the crypto world! The European Union (EU) has delivered a crushing blow to Tether (USDT) under its new crypto regulations (MiCA). By December 30, 2024, all European crypto exchanges must delist USDT. ❌ Why? Tether has failed to secure the mandatory e-money license required to operate within EU jurisdictions. This decision has sent shockwaves 🌊 through the market. USDT, often regarded as the lifeblood of the crypto ecosystem 💸, is now being forced out of European exchanges. Imagine the chaos— the most widely used stablecoin, providing liquidity and stability, will soon be missing from the European trading scene. 😱 Exchange executives are raising alarms 🚨, warning,
"Without USDT, market liquidity will dry up. The European crypto market, which had the potential to lead globally 🌍, is now risking irrelevance due to its own destructive policies."
But Tether isn’t backing down without a fight. 🥊 The company has already invested in a new stablecoin project called StablE, designed to comply with EU regulations. ⚙️ While this might be Tether’s secret weapon 🛡️, the real question remains: can it replace USDT’s dominance? Here’s the truth: This EU decision is a direct attack ⚔️ on the crypto market. The question is—will these regulations create a safer environment ✅ or unleash a wave of destruction 💥 that destabilizes the entire crypto world?
✨ The crypto war has begun. Tether’s exit is just the opening act. What happens next could rewrite the future of finance. 💰 #WeAreAllSatoshi #bitcoin #BTC #Binance $BTC $XRP $SOL
Russia has announced that nearly all of its trade with India and China is now conducted in national
#BTCNextMove " data-hashtag="#BTCNextMove" class="tag">#BTCNextMove Russia has announced that nearly all of its trade with India and China is now conducted in nationalussia has announced that nearly all of its trade with India and China is now conducted in national currencies, marking a significant shift away from the U.S. dollar. President Vladimir Putin revealed that over 90% of trade with China is now settled in rubles and yuan, while more than 50% of trade with India follows the same trend. This change came in response to Western sanctions imposed after Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, which blocked access to global financial systems like SWIFT. As a result, Russia has been pushing for local currency settlements, forging stronger economic ties with China and India to bypass traditional financial systems.
Trade between Russia and China has surged, with both countries deepening their "strategic partnership." In 2023, bilateral trade reached a record $240 billion, and economists expect it to grow further by 2024. Over 90% of this trade is now conducted in rubles and yuan, with the share of yuan in Russia’s exports to China skyrocketing from 0.5% in 2021 to 16% in 2022. Similarly, imports from China saw yuan usage rise from 4% in 2021 to 23% the following year. Meanwhile, the U.S. dollar’s role in this trade has significantly diminished, falling from 46.8% in 2021 to nearly zero by 2023. Russian banks have also increased their yuan reserves, surpassing dollar reserves by December 2023.
India, although slower to adopt these changes, now conducts more than 50% of its trade with Russia in local currencies. This shift is part of a broader "de-dollarization" strategy, which Putin has championed, claiming that the dollar has become a tool for Western political agendas. While there has been some tension between Putin and former U.S. President Donald Trump, with Trump threatening high tariffs on countries that move away from the dollar, Putin has expressed his readiness to engage with Trump if he wishes to meet in the future.
