BTC was 75k yesterday and today it's 77k, so basically still hovering around that 70k to 80k range which is ridiculously good, considering that we should be hitting even lower.
Perhaps BTC is learning to be a stable asset rather than a volatile one, I won't put it past it.
The interests of institutions and government means that at some point we weren't going to see those crazy dumps anymore, but them we also won't see those big and life changing pumps anymore, then it becomes more of a digital asset rather than traditional crypto and probably joining other forms of digital assets which means it's no longer going to be that "How to send video files from my phone to laptopcrypto" that Satoshi actually design it to be.
It was inevitable.
This is what happens when a digital asset gets so much acceptance and attention and the government can no longer overlook it, and since they can't kill it, they might as well try to control how it works.
Reminds me of Spartacus, he became so popular that the Roman government couldn't ignore him anymore. I'm not saying BTC is likely to meet the same fate as well, my point is that, the trajectory of BTC was meant to change, perhaps at some point begins to identify as something other than crypto, but I was thinking, at least this shouldn't happen until 10 to 15 years time.
It's already looking like this
The price manipulation we saw in 2025 was evident.
Trump and co manipulated the market so hard, mad a lot of money off it, and even created their own coin by riding the bull market's fame. Although the market is still likely to pump hard after the next halving which is stipulated for the April 2028 I think?
Yeah, somewhere around that time. In reality this might be a speculation, the rambling of a mad man, or just someone who is looking too deep into the meaning of all of these.
However we look at it, I think the biggest bulk of dump happened in late 2025 amd early 2026, quite ironic that this particular period was once the peak of a green market.
However it looked like we've seen the worse of the market and we would just continue to consolidate until 2028, but who knows?
Anyway this isn't a speculation post, my point is that all these "stability" and the glaring predictability of the market (the BTC Price market actually)
it just looks like BTC will most likely become a predictable asset in the future; no excessive pumps and dumps, just a crypto or digital asset that you can just save money in, especially if you hate banks or just hate fiat in general, not minding the occasion dumps you see, provided some better pumps were guaranteed.
This means it's no longer going to be an asset that could change one's financial standing, except of course you're planning to hold for 20 to 30 years, and then your kids or kin gets to inherit it or something.
This might leave alt projects completely dependent on themselves to push their projects, their business or something like that to the wider audience without completely having to wait for BTC to lead while they follow.
This might be good, but who knows, it might not.
No one can exactly speculate the future of crypto, but one thing is clear: it'll definitely not look like what we have today, it'll not mirror what we currently have and sadly this will no longer benefit the folks who are banking on the future of crypto to make it big.
