Has the trend of the bull market changed again? What highlights are there in the soaring AI agent sector?
Which track has the most potential in this bull market?
If asked at the early stage of this bull market, the answer would undoubtedly be the Bitcoin ecosystem and the AI track. However, now that the industry has developed to this stage, Bitcoin has already broken the $100,000 barrier, and the inscriptions and runes of the Bitcoin ecosystem have basically cooled off, while the AI track continues to be hot, even taking over the Meme track, seemingly showing signs of rivaling DeFi Summer.
Of course, now the AI track is not the same as the projects led by WLD, TAO, etc., at the beginning of last year. The currently popular and trending area is the AI agent track derived from AI Memes.
Bitcoin to $200,000 this year? Everyone seems bullish, but isn't that strange? What do you think?
Bitcoin to $200,000 this year? Everyone seems bullish, but isn't that strange? What do you think?
As the Double 'Egg' Festival arrives, people around the world are filled with hope that 2025 will be a year of harvest. A group of KOLs in the crypto space are all bullish, and some institutions have even released optimistic predictions and outlooks for the crypto market in 2025. For example, Bitwise predicts that the price of Bitcoin (BTC) will exceed $200,000 by 2025, and Ethereum (ETH) will reach $7,000; VanEck predicts that the crypto market will hit new highs by the end of 2025...
Despite the bullish expectations for 2025 such as Trump's 'Bitcoin Strategic Reserve', crypto-friendly regulations in the US, and AI concepts, one would think that given the predictions from KOLs and institutions, as well as the general bullish sentiment we observe, the crypto market should have taken off by now. Why is the current market so quiet that it feels 'deafening'?
What is the truth? Perhaps what we see is just a 'peaceful' surface, while beneath it, 'undercurrents' are surging?
Predictions and outlooks are made every year, and any single opinion may inevitably be biased. What do you think? #VCCT #BTC #2025比特币价格预测
When is the earliest 'Bitcoin Strategic Reserve' in the U.S. expected to be implemented? Pay attention to these key time nodes.
Since the early November announcement of Trump's election victory, the cryptocurrency market, especially Bitcoin, has entered a strong expectation of the 'U.S. Bitcoin Strategic Reserve'. Clearly, the market will focus heavily on the implementation of this commitment after Trump takes office in 2025. Analysts have stated that this will break the Bitcoin bull-bear cycle, meaning that any 'interruption' in the future could lead to severe market fluctuations. What we can do now is to pay attention to the advancement dynamics, estimate possible implementation timelines in advance, and prepare accordingly.
01 Latest Developments The issue of the 'Bitcoin Strategic Reserve' has actually been proposed and discussed before the U.S. presidential election. Senator Cynthia Lummis proposed the (Bitcoin Strategic Reserve Act) on July 31, 2024, suggesting the purchase of 200,000 Bitcoins annually, reaching 1 million within five years.
What 'business secrets' are revealed by the Trump family's crypto project and its on-chain asset configurations?
Trump's victory in the U.S. presidential election pushed Bitcoin to break the $100,000 mark, accelerating the current bull market. Not just Bitcoin, but also projects related to the Trump team are showing signs of takeoff.
Recently, World Liberty Financial (hereafter WLFI), closely related to the Trump family, has frequently purchased ETH, LINK, AAVE, ENA, etc., sparking a following trend in the market and becoming a significant barometer in the crypto investment market.
So, what is WLFI, and what market-moving actions might it take in the future?
Why do so many ordinary people invest in meme coins?
Why do so many ordinary people invest in meme coins? - It's exhilarating.
It is undeniable that investing in meme coins is definitely a gamble, but upon reflection, I find that the gamble makes sense and is even correct because it suits them. Let's imagine, if we are an ordinary person earning 2000 dollars a month, we hear many stories of cryptocurrencies skyrocketing, and we want to join, but which one to invest in? Undoubtedly, I think it's meme coins. The reasons are:
1. Investing 2000 dollars in mainstream coins leads to back-and-forth fluctuations, rising today and falling tomorrow, affecting emotions and earning little money, with a high probability of being stuck. One must know that 99% of the time, the market is consolidating sideways, with real big bull markets only occurring 1% of the time. Moreover, the longer the bear market lasts, the longer the bull market lasts, and vice versa. Retail investors are certainly affected by various news, chasing highs and cutting losses, slowly depleting their principal.
Bitcoin has broken through 100,000 USD, rising 4% in a single day, reaching a historic high. Since the beginning of this year, Bitcoin has increased by 138% in total. Since November 4, Bitcoin has risen directly from 68,000 USD to 100,000 USD, taking just one month.
Dramatic Scene in South Korea's Crypto Market: Altcoins Lead the Rise, Elderly Investors Rush In, Martial Law Triggers Flash Crash
After 44 years, South Korea suddenly experienced a martial law farce lasting only 6 hours. This sudden move shocked both South Korea and the world, triggering severe market fluctuations and exposing newly entering elderly South Koreans to significant volatility in the crypto market. Although the martial law in South Korea has been lifted, the intertwining of political turmoil and market fluctuations has created huge arbitrage opportunities, and the influx of capital highlights the crypto market's resilience to regional risks. The sudden martial law in South Korea triggered market turmoil, with funds pouring in for bottom-fishing.
Catching up with Bitcoin, is Ripple a counterattack from financial giants or an illusion?
Since Trump won the US presidential election on November 5, a number of crypto assets, led by Bitcoin, have risen strongly, among which Ripple's XRP has performed even better. According to news on December 2, XRP surpassed Solana and Tether (USDT) to become the third largest crypto asset by market value, returning to the level before the SEC VS Ripple lawsuit in 2020. Ripple was once considered to be a partner for the implementation of blockchain technology by many financial encryption institutions around the world and became famous. This is also one of the rare representative "footprints" of traditional "financial giants" participating in the wave of digital gold, blockchain, and PayFi technology. So will Ripple be a "counterattack" by the financial giants this time?
A successful meme requires only three elements, but none of them can be missing:
1. Institutional participation and leadership
2. A community that combines Chinese and Western elements
3. A founder who has seen money and has a vision
Without institutional participation, it will be pvp. Without a diversified community, it will be difficult to become a phenomenal meme worldwide. If the founder has never seen money, he will have no vision and will want to run away after making a little money.
On-chain fees exceed Ethereum, is SOL really going to replace ETH's position?
Recently, with Goat, Pnut, Act, and other Memes consecutively launching on Binance, the Solana ecosystem is experiencing a new wave of excitement. According to Blockworks Research statistics, after October 19, 2024, Solana's on-chain daily fees have consistently exceeded Ethereum's for several days, and on October 24, revenue even surpassed $10 million. The popularity of the Meme sector has led various funds to continue entering the Solana ecosystem, making it the hottest ecosystem in the circle right now.
It must be said that Solana is indeed the hottest chain in this round of the bull market, with more than half of the star projects from the DePin craze originating from the Solana ecosystem, followed by waves of Meme trends, making it quite lively.
The ETH/BTC exchange rate continues to decline, perhaps the most important thing has been overlooked.
Since this market cycle, Bitcoin has been soaring, making Ethereum and some older 'value projects' increasingly weak, with ETH/BTC once hitting a bottom. This has become the strongest 'unresolved emotion' for many seasoned crypto enthusiasts, without exception. Both the bull and bear markets have been experienced, yet there remains an inability to let go of the stagnant ETH. It seems that dissatisfaction with ETH in the crypto community has reached its peak.
01 Has Ethereum's original intention changed? Although ETH and BTC each have different paths and there is not much direct conflict, most long-term holders of ETH since the bear market hope that ETH can outperform BTC, meaning they expect a good return on ETH/BTC. Based on previous experiences before this bear market, ETH has managed to outperform BTC most of the time.
Ethereum's largest DApp launches its own business? Is this the last straw that breaks the camel's back for ETH?
Recently, Uniswap Labs officially launched Unichain, an Ethereum Layer2 network based on OP Stack, and launched the testnet. As the mainstay of the Ethereum ecosystem and DeFi field, the crypto community has paid close attention to the important progress of Uniswap. Vitalik and other KOLs have expressed different opinions, but the most concerned about this matter may be those old Ethereum FUDers, who have begun to analyze the death countdown of ETH after the "defection of the largest DApp in Ethereum"...
01 Is Unichain really Uniswap's "defection" route? According to official information, the purpose of Unichain's launch is mainly to solve some challenges of DeFi, such as cost, efficiency, and the need for seamless cross-chain swaps with fragmented liquidity. Simply put, the Uniswap project will continue to improve the user experience and competitiveness of its own products by customizing a unique Layer2 network.

The higher Bitcoin goes, the more scared they are that Satoshi is still alive?
Recently, the world-renowned pay TV network HBO announced that it will reveal the identity of Bitcoin founder Satoshi Nakamoto through their documentary. Although I think this is another meaningless marketing campaign using the traffic password "Satoshi Nakamoto" to hype up. However, no matter what, HBO's documentary promotion has successfully triggered a great discussion in the crypto community and the financial world. We have to admire that it chose such a special time point to provoke everyone's sensitive nerves...
01 Searching for Satoshi Nakamoto This year, the approval of the Bitcoin ETF has made it officially a mainstream asset. Bitcoin has since entered a wider public view, and global financial institutions have become increasingly interested in this "alternative asset". As an experienced producer of TV programs, it is not difficult for HBO to dig out "Satoshi Nakamoto", the ironclad traffic password for many years.
