It seems that we are bored from waiting so much for the Bull Market, the Altseason, with its price explosions of 10x, 100x, 1000x, etc. So much so that the most popular posts around here lately have been the little games, quizzes, and puzzles. 😬
The Evolution of Institutional Adoption of Bitcoin
In the early years of Bitcoin's existence, most traditional financial institutions ignored or ridiculed the cryptocurrency. For many executives at large banks and funds, Bitcoin was seen merely as an irrelevant experiment associated with cyberspace or illegal activity. This widespread disbelief kept institutional adoption virtually nonexistent during the first decade of the digital currency. Over time, as Bitcoin proved resilient to attacks, financial crises, and severe criticism, institutions began to recognize its potential. The narrative gradually shifted from 'Bitcoin is a fraud' to 'Bitcoin is a threat to the traditional financial system.' During this transition period, the first serious studies on blockchain emerged, and investment funds discreetly began to explore small exposures to the asset.
Errors that I see here: 1) Not remembering the seed phrase; 2) Not having at least two copies of the seed phrase, stored securely, in different locations; 3) Selling Bitcoin during a downturn.

⚠️ Brazilian Blogger Hospitalized After Losing 4 BTC
A popular Brazilian pianist and blogger, known by the pseudonym Lord Vinheteiro, lost access to his savings of 4 BTC (worth over $368,000) after misplacing a note containing his seed phrase. He suspects that his housekeeper may have thrown it away.
Previously, Vinheteiro bought Bitcoin at around $70,000 and sold it at approximately $50,000. Additionally, he lost over $30,000 investing in OIBR3, a company that later went bankrupt.
Amid the stress, he was hospitalized with an undisclosed illness.
The truly revolutionary currency is called Bitcoin - and it is unlikely there will be another. If people understood this, scammers would not be so successful.

do you remember this women: A $4.5 Billion Mystery
Once hailed as the “Crypto Queen,” Dr. Ruja Ignatova promised the world a revolutionary currency called OneCoin. People believed her dream. They invested billions — yes, billions!
But in 2017, something shocking happened. Dr. Ruja disappeared! No goodbyes. No warnings. She simply vanished from the face of the earth.
Investigators later found that OneCoin was a massive scam. Total scam amount: Over $4.5 billion! It was one of the biggest frauds in crypto history.
Where is Dr. Ruja now? Nobody knows. Some say she changed her appearance through surgery. Some whisper that powerful people are protecting her.
One thing is clear — the Crypto Queen left behind a trail of broken dreams and empty pockets. Her name now appears on the FBI’s Most Wanted List.
Moral of the story: In crypto, always research before you invest. Not every shining coin is made of gold.
The Impossibility of a 'New Bitcoin' Emerging: The View of Saifedean Ammous
In his book 'The Bitcoin Standard', Saifedean Ammous argues incisively that it is practically impossible for a cryptocurrency to emerge capable of dethroning Bitcoin. For him, Bitcoin possesses a unique combination of characteristics that other cryptocurrencies will hardly be able to replicate. Decentralization, security, scarcity, and the trust built over time are aspects that have made Bitcoin irreplaceable. Ammous believes that for any new cryptocurrency to succeed, it would have to undergo a process of centralization, which would prevent it from achieving the same level of trust and leadership that Bitcoin has already attained.
O que Michael Saylor Sabe Sobre o Bitcoin que a Maioria Ainda Não Entendeu
Michael Saylor, fundador e presidente executivo da MicroStrategy, tornou-se uma das vozes mais influentes no mundo do Bitcoin. Uma frase atribuída a ele, “Se as pessoas soubessem o que eu sei, o Bitcoin iria a $10 milhões amanhã”, chama atenção pela força da convicção. Mas o que exatamente Saylor enxerga que muitos ainda não percebem?
O sistema fiduciário está falido:
Saylor acredita que o dólar, e as moedas fiduciárias em geral, inevitavelmente perdem valor com o tempo por causa da inflação.
From the shadows projected on the sidewalk, it is possible to see that the number 2 face will not collide with the tree as it may seem at first glance.
