I have to confess, I am anxious about what this year 2025 has in store for us.
I don't think I have ever felt like this before...well, I'm lying, 2017 was also a year of many nerves that I will remember since it was the year when my country, CATALUNYA, made a unilateral declaration of independence from Spain...or, at least that is what all Catalans believed at that time.
I remember that around those dates, in November 2017, everything was uncertain, and doubts regarding the approaching near future.
Much to my regret, everything came to nothing, and what some of us thought we had won ended up being repressed by the Spanish state...the fight continues, but this is another story that I will explain in the future.
Regarding 2025, I can't stop feeling that rumbling in my stomach due to the situation of the economy. Everything is at historic highs or very close to it and BITCOIN still seems to have a long way to go to rise until the end of the bullish cycle, by, hopefully, the end of the year in my opinion.
Obviously, many of us expect any kind of black swan in the economy in the traditional market, perhaps encouraged by the measures that President Trump may implement on tariff policy.
It seems that the dollar is going to strengthen even more and that, for Europeans like me, we are still going to have to endure more and more recession.
The stubbornness and blindness of European politicians and bureaucrats seem to have no limit, all with an excessive and unfounded regulatory eagerness that they try to justify for reasons of security and solidarity...
I am really tired of these assholes who do not see that the world turns without them and that others continue forward adapting to the changes as they happen but not repressing their future.
In any case, for better or worse, I feel in my gut that 2025 is bound to be a great year. In my opinion, changes are not only inevitable but necessary.
Adaptation to the environment is a fundamental law of life, we even have the possibility to mold that environment a little but not to the point of not being able to use it...
I just hope that some people realize this sooner rather than later.
Regarding BITCOIN, lately there is talk that Blackrock seems to suggest that the possibility of a BITCOIN hardfork is on the table on their part since they reserve the right to choose which blockchain would be, according to them, the real BITCOIN... this, of course, would seem harmless if it were the era already lived in which wars for block size and other occurrences were discussed and which gave birth to many associated pseudo-BITCOINS (BCH, BTCGold, BTC SV etc...).
The question now is whether an entity as economically powerful as Blackrock and its BTC ETF could be more successful in its maneuvers...
Ultimately, 2025 could be one of the most important years of the decade, along with the year of the pandemic.
To be continued.
Thanks!
The dollar will get stronger, so the price of gold will drop, and if both bitcoin and the dollar get stronger, crypto will gain more value.
I like your optimism
This will be an interesting year for sure, there are a lot of geopolitics problems and tensions, what will be the world in 1 year? Will crypto be seen as a safe house or the tensions will make people run to something like gold?
I think it will be interesting to see, but it makes me wonder which people will choose as the main chain. I would prefer it if the original stays well, but you never know when someone as big as blackrock gets involved.
