The cryptocurrency market has been turbulent lately. Bitcoin's monthly decline reached 30%, and the market is filled with mourning, with panic spreading throughout the community.

The opinions heard are diverse. Some predict that the era of cryptocurrencies has come to an end, that Bitcoin is beyond salvation, and that quantum computing is about to break through. Others gossip about how much a certain influencer has sold off, how a certain institution was confiscated by the government, and that the bear market has arrived, winter is coming.

But most of these people haven't actually held Bitcoin. They are just creating panic to attract attention and traffic. Frankly, the human brain is naturally sensitive to negative information—groups that ignored risks in history have long since vanished, so our genes are wired with a crisis alert.

Conversely, genuine Bitcoin holders tend to post positive news. The reason is simple: the more people buy, the higher the price, and their assets appreciate accordingly. Self-interest drives this, so most opinions from self-media are speaking for their own wallets.

That said, there are some details worth pondering:

Bitcoin reached a high point of around 130,000 in 2025. Then, in the following days, it plummeted straight down to over 80,000, wiping out the entire year's gains. As I write this, it is slowly climbing back, returning to around 90,000.

We might never see Bitcoin below 80,000 again. Why? Because Bitcoin is no longer a niche asset. The US government recognizes it, and Wall Street treats it as a mainstream asset allocation. Once it enters the traditional financial asset pool, the rules of the game change.

This means Bitcoin is moving towards becoming part of the global mainstream assets. What the future holds? You can imagine it yourself.
