The Importance of Being Positioned: Why the Big Jumps in Bitcoin Cannot Be Missed
The behavior of Bitcoin over time shows a striking characteristic: for most of the time, the price of the cryptocurrency remains in a sideways trend or even in decline. This can discourage many investors, especially the less experienced, who expect quick and constant gains. However, those who have been following the market for longer know that the true impact on returns does not come from consistent performance, but rather from a few intense moments of highs. An analysis of recent years — between 2022 and 2024 — reveals that the days when Bitcoin rises more than 5% are extremely rare. In 2022, there were only two days with increases exceeding this threshold. The same occurred in 2023. In 2024, there were only three days. In other words, out of more than a thousand trading days during this period, fewer than ten showed extraordinary gains. These occasional moments often define the success or failure of an investment in Bitcoin.
I will never forget that the bull market started again on the day of the new Pope's election…🙏🏼🚀

Pope Leo XIV elected: Cardinal Robert Prevost chosen as first US pontiff Conclave made up of 133 cardinals chooses successor to Pope Francis Tim Stickings Paul Carey May 08, 2025
Cardinal Robert Prevost has been elected the 267th pope - and the first from the United States - after he was chosen in a centuries-old ritual.
The cardinal, 69, will take the name Pope L
As is tradition, the announcement that the 133 cardinals making up the conclave had come to a decision was made using white smoke rising from a specially-built chimney of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican.
The new pope's first message to the world's 1.4 billion Catholics will be through his choice of papal name, which often indicates they will follow the doctrine of a predecessor.
The conclave began on Wednesday when cardinals entered the Sistine Chapel two by two, chanting the meditative Litany of the Saints as Swiss Guards stood at attention. The hymn, and the one that followed, implores the saints and the Holy Spirit to help the cardinals find a new pontiff.
Hailing from 70 countries, the cardinals were sequestered from the outside world, their mobile phones surrendered and airwaves around the Vatican jammed to prevent all communications until they reached a two-thirds majority decision.
More than 80 of the cardinals had been appointed by Pope Francis, who died last month aged 88 after a 12-year papacy.

The Race for Bitcoin Reserve Adoption: The Cases of New Hampshire and Arizona
The U.S. states of New Hampshire and Arizona have made significant decisions involving the use of Bitcoin in their public finances. Although both have passed legislation related to the topic, the approaches adopted reveal distinct levels of confidence and ambition regarding the adoption of digital assets as a strategic reserve. New Hampshire opted for a direct investment policy in Bitcoin, while Arizona remained more cautious, limiting itself to the management of unclaimed crypto assets.
I also get more excited when the market is down, because that's the best time to buy BTC. But during the uptrend, I keep buying BTC, just to maintain the habit 🤑
