⇑ Raising the BAR: Cryptocurrency and Gold Intersect in Market Upturn, Donald Trump Buys with Bitcoin

There is significant attention on the increasing demand for gold bars and coins, notably indicated by the World Gold Council's (WGC) expectation for China's strong intake. Gold investment is seen as beneficial with demand trends in China, India, and Germany. Merchants like Costco now stock precious metal bars, which have had nearly 25% return for early buyers. More ancient finds, like a 2,100-year-old coin hoard and an Israelite coin from 132 A.D., are being discovered, possibly influencing the market with their significant historical value.

The coin-based gaming industry is seeing a surge, particularly in places like Oregon, Southern California, North Carolina, and Washington, D.C., where arcade-bars are opening. Notably, a few that host tournaments and even expand their arcade with axe-throwing. Donald Trump even made history by buying burgers at a New York City bar using Bitcoin, legitimizing cryptocurrency in mainstream usage.

The first Gold Bar token was created on the Bitcoin platform using the Ordinals Protocol, further validating blockchain's value on the traditional market. Coinbase makes plays on sports sponsorship whilst a company called Spacecoin XYZ aims to launch the first blockchain network in outer space, raising quite a buzz.

Coupled with these, a newly minted cryptocurrency called BAR Coin, aiming to raise the bar in 2025, has sparked interest, potentially ousting other coins, such as Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Pepe Coin (PEPE) in its growth.
