INSIGHTS: 🟠 Here are some Bitcoin insights from 2025 for the data-minded:

> The "Bitcoin is dead" coverage basically vanished this year. It's the first time that's happened.

> The Strategic Reserve narrative is still building. Data suggests another 2-3 months before it burns out.

> The quantum computing spike in October went from zero to everywhere in under two weeks. No buildup at all.
