Bitcoin continues to dominate discussions in the global financial markets, with its recent price flirtations near the
$100,000 mark. The ongoing debate regarding Bitcoin's comparison to
gold has been stoked by comments from Fed Chair
Powell, who views Bitcoin as a competitor to the precious metal. This remark has brought about a wave of analysis, further pushing Bitcoin into the limelight. Meanwhile,
Russia's Putin has endorsed Bitcoin over the US dollar as a global reserve currency and highlighted that banning the digital currency is practically impossible. Nintendo has supposedly joined the crypto space, mirroring MicroStrategy's decision to invest in Bitcoin as part of its treasury strategy.
Bitcoin's influence on politics is evident as it played a role in South Korea's period of martial law and the consequent market turbulence. Albeit, Bitcoin's road to $100k faces significant resistance, and while the cryptocurrency continues to make strides,
altcoins are making major gains as well. An interesting trend points out how long-term holders' balances are decreasing as market sentiment shifts. Ensuing Trump's SEC nomination resulted in significant jumps in Bitcoin price, moving away from traditional treasury assets.
Highly-regarded individuals and entities are joining the crypto space, including the
New York Mayor Eric Adams, who is happy about his Bitcoin holdings, and Microsoft, whose interest in Bitcoin could add trillions to their valuation. Bitcoin mining firms continue to make large investments, including MARA's recent significant bet after mining 907 BTC in November. The metaverse is heating up as
Ethereum leads Bitcoin higher, with continual growth and close calls with $100k. Regardless of the volatility and periodic sell-offs, Bitcoin's allure remains unhampered, with experts predicting gains up to $225,000.
