Low Volatility, High Stakes 📉➡️📈

ARK Invest’s December report claims Bitcoin’s volatility is at historically low levels—setting the perfect stage for another big move upward. They argue that the cryptocurrency hasn’t hit its peak mania phase yet, meaning more upside could be on the horizon.

But here’s the catch: low volatility doesn’t guarantee smooth sailing. 🤔 Bitcoin’s notorious cycles are shaped by external shocks and market whims. One quiet month doesn’t erase the risk of turbulent months ahead. The question is—are we riding the calm before the storm, or just setting ourselves up for disappointment? $BTC

Strong Holders, Weak Momentum? 💪🪙
ARK highlights that 62% of Bitcoin’s supply hasn’t moved in over a year, suggesting long-term confidence. Sounds bullish, right? But here’s the twist—could this stagnation mean a lack of liquidity? 🤷‍♂️ Without active trading, Bitcoin might struggle to build momentum. What if strong holders aren’t creating enough demand for sustained price gains?
The crypto community loves diamond hands, but markets thrive on movement. The current supply freeze could limit the fuel needed for Bitcoin’s next big rally.

Trump’s Crypto Gamble: Revolution or Reckoning? 🇺🇸⚡
Donald Trump’s return to power has ignited excitement in the crypto world. His promise to make the U.S. the epicenter of Bitcoin and crypto innovation has many believing that his administration could trigger a monumental shift. Appointing key crypto advocates like Paul Atkins and David Sacks only adds fuel to the fire.
Yet, let’s not get carried away. 🛑 Political promises are often easier said than done. Regulatory bodies are notorious for moving slowly, and relying too much on politics could backfire if things don’t go as planned. Are we chasing a dream, or is Trump truly the catalyst Bitcoin needs?

Community Divided: The Bitcoin Showdown 📊💥
To get a real sense of where people stand, I ran a survey—480 votes on whether Bitcoin will surge to $130,000 or plummet to $73,000. The results? A near deadlock—59% think it’ll hit $130,000, while 41% expect a sharp drop.

This split shows the growing tension within the community—half believe Bitcoin is on the verge of massive gains, while the other half sees a major correction looming. The stakes couldn’t be higher, and the future is anyone’s guess.

Is Bitcoin Destined for Glory or a Catastrophe? 🌈🕳️
With ARK’s bullish signals, Trump’s crypto moves, and the survey results, 2025 is shaping up to be a pivotal year for Bitcoin. But here’s the truth—crypto markets have a way of defying predictions. The low volatility could mean explosive growth, or it could set us up for a painful crash.
As investors and crypto enthusiasts, we must prepare for any outcome. The only certainty in this market is uncertainty. 🌪️

Think about this:

Almost all VC money is being spent on projects that haven’t even come close to launching yet.

Projects with no track record, no community. Just thousands of bot followers.

Mostly repackaged, redundant protocols.

No working model or projections.

Just half-baked ideas in pdf format.

And investors are throwing money at THESE instead of looking at battle tested projects that survived bear markets, are now rife with innovation & liquidity, and doing considerable volume with increased DAUs.

🐾

What should that tell you about the well-known sh*t coins you accumulated at a “discount” in the bear market that investors won’t even glance at?

This is what it should tell you:

There’s almost no upside for established “blue chip” tokens this time around because [1] the value has been extracted already or [2] the value is disconnected from the actual token.

Sorry I have to be the one to tell you this, but you didn’t get a “deal” last year when you “lowered your cost basis” on these:

Cardano? No.
Algorand? No. lol.
Vechain? Hell no.
Uniswap? Pfffft!
Atom? Mehhhh…
Sandbox? Put down the crack pipe.

Almost NO CHANCE for these staples to revisit ATHs despite being MORE fit for users & app builders now than they were 3-5 years ago. They are on every CEX in the galaxy & have socials in every language.

But, no matter how comfortable they make you feel, their upside is nearly nonexistent…save an insane alt coin blow off top, in which case they will still underperform badly.

And guess what? The downside is still there!

I’ll confidently say that holding these is riskier than taking a flyer at an unproven protocol or newly forked chain that trades in 1 pool on a DEX you never heard of.

Personally, 1/3rd of my portfolio scares the piss out of me. Some don’t even have websites or users. And I sleep fine at night because finding solid risk:return ratio is tough this cycle. Therefore, I feel my strategy is warranted.

If you like being comfortable, you might has well just buy $COIN stock, delete your socials, & get an outdoor hobby. Based on market cap, CB is way more undervalued than your favorite top 100 legacy token.
(Seriously tho you should get off Twitter after reading this because you follow the wrong people…)

So, good luck with that portfolio full of boomer tokens. Bitcoin is already outperforming you. So are meme tokens on the most hated network. And you’re in denial. You should look in the mirror and whisper “idiot” to yourself several times a day until you change.

And make sure you bookmark this tweet & let’s talk again in 2025-26.

But please, remember it was ME who told you years prior that most of your favorite tokens would NOT pump again.

Cheers!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why did I post this?

I liked this article a lot because it resonates a lot with me. As everyone almost knows, we have been building a fully, purposeful project called The Bonuz Market Ecosystem. We just launched our social smart wallet on iOS and Android to start this journey since it is the gateway and very interoperable with its capabilities.
We are aiming to onboard a billion users.. but we took over 2 years of building with minimal funding. No VC wants to fund us for doing a real genuine project, because they simply see the narrative in the liquidity of the narrative. Also I cant exactly talk their deceiving language because of my honest and straight forward nature.
Good products that are intuitive and easy are actually not something anyone wants to invest in. They need hype and speculation, big community and a token out, which benefits them.
Also, especially if the project doesn't fit the narrative and doesn't have the right lead VC on it, then it's totally unattractive.
It's like a copy-paste game for these financial fkkkkers... all are just profit-driven. The author CosmoDefi pointed it out so well.

Anyhow, now we are built and hope that we are able to prove the value and actually raise some money without the token. So it's great to keep this strength and stamina and sail through the storm to where we have reached today.
Perhaps the investors of the future will have a better mindset to filter good and genuine projects of purpose and actually invest some time in talking with the founders and seeing the product instead of looking at the deck for 90 seconds and then judging it. It almost feels like racism to me for judging a project on the paper, lol.

Reality is not so nice.
Persistence combined with a wise warrior mind and some discipline for constant execution was my way; also, educating the people around me and attending every conference helped. Still, VCs are asking retarded wrong questions. Founders or people who understand the tech are investing instead. What a battle we put ourselves in. I hope I can find some investment / VC specialist for my company who can do this job for me. I open the doors... and they do the talk. boom! Maybe that's the magic formula to get funded asap.
