Bitcoin might be moving sideways, but Jordi Visser says there is still faith in the underlying asset, as shown through ETF approvals and the Bitcoin network hashrate hitting new highs. Bitcoin could be in the middle of an unofficial initial coin offering (ICO) as OG holders rotate out and fresh blood scoops up the tokens, distributing the supply across a broader number of people, macro analyst and Wall Street old hand Jordi Visser says.  In a Saturday episode of entrepreneur Anthony Pompliano’s podcast and a post on Substack, Visser said old coins that have been dormant for years are on the move, “Not all at once. Not in panic. But steadily,” and new investors are stepping in, “accumulating on dips.”  “In the traditional world, this moment is called an IPO. It’s the moment when early believers cash out, when founders become wealthy, when venture capitalists return money to their limited partners,” he said. Read more

Bitcoin has typically recorded its strongest month for gains in November, and there are certainly macro tailwinds to make it happen again. Bitcoin has stepped into its historically most significant month for gains — November — with an average increase of 42.51% since 2013 — meaning Bitcoin could surpass $160,000 this month if history rhymes.  However, a crypto analyst noted that several macroeconomic factors are also at play.  “I do think seasonal charts matter a lot, but it has to be combined with a lot of other factors,” said crypto analyst Markus Thielen from 10x Research.  Read more

The lack of understanding about Bitcoin's economic properties will result in a market dump at the first sign of trouble, Vineet Budki said. The price of Bitcoin (BTC) will continue to experience cyclical booms and busts, resulting in a drawdown of up to 70% during the next market downturn, according to Vineet Budki, CEO of venture firm Sigma Capital. There will be a BTC retracement of 65% to 70% in the next two years because traders do not understand the asset they are holding, Budki told Cointelegraph at the Global Blockchain Congress 2025 in Dubai, UAE. He said: Despite this, Budki still forecasts that Bitcoin will reach $1 million or more per coin within the next 10 years and stated that user adoption will grow from a combination of price speculation and, more importantly, real-world BTC use cases.  Read more

Borderless Capital’s Amit Mehra said quantum computing remains years away from threatening Bitcoin, though rapid advances could make post-quantum security urgent. Although still in its “infancy,” quantum computing could pose a threat to Bitcoin and other proof-of-work algorithms in the near future, according to Amit Mehra, a partner at venture capital firm Borderless Capital. When asked what trends Borderless Capital was following, Mehra, speaking to Cointelegraph at Global Blockchain Congress Dubai 2025, said the company was  “diving deep into quantum compute” and looking at how companies are developing quantum resistance technology.  Mehra said quantum computing will take until the end of the decade to develop. Still, he said, people tend to underestimate the rapid evolution of technology: Read more
