The cryptocurrency market continues to surprise with new records and significant initiatives. Let’s take a look at what happened this week and what might influence future developments.
Bitcoin continues to gain popularity and is now referred to as "digital gold," but its market cap is still only one-tenth that of gold. This was covered in a separate post.
The Chairman of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, stated that the policy is gradually shifting to a more neutral position, but the economic situation does not require immediate rate cuts.
Powell noted that the labor market continues to cool down, and inflation is expected to keep decreasing.
US Senator Cynthia Lummis proposed the idea of selling part of the Federal Reserve's gold reserves and using the proceeds to buy Bitcoin.
This statement supports the development of cryptocurrencies as "digital gold," attracting investors due to their growth and security.
In November 2024, the official Twitter account "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE) was created, actively supported by Elon Musk.
Its goal is to streamline the operations of the US government, reduce unnecessary spending, and eliminate excess regulations.
Musk stated that this will be a crucial step towards a more efficient government and economy.
The Hong Kong Stock Exchange officially launched a virtual asset index, which includes Bitcoin and Ethereum.
This move strengthens Hong Kong’s position as a leading financial hub for cryptocurrencies and simplifies digital asset trading for investors.
Tether announced the launch of the Hadron platform, designed to simplify the tokenization of various assets, including stocks, bonds, stablecoins, and loyalty points.
The platform supports multiple blockchains and second-layer solutions for Bitcoin, expanding opportunities for market participants.
South Korean crypto exchange Upbit reported a trading volume of $1.56 billion, surpassing the combined trading volume of the KOSPI and KOSDAQ stock markets.
This highlights the growing interest in cryptocurrencies amidst stagnation in traditional markets.
MicroStrategy announced the purchase of 27,200 Bitcoin for $2.03 billion.
The company now owns over 279,000 BTC, solidifying its position as the largest institutional holder of Bitcoin.
Ethereum Foundation researcher Justin Drake presented a proposal for a new consensus update called "Beam Chain," aimed at improving Ethereum’s performance, security, and scalability.
This update, expected in 2026, could be a key step in the development of Ethereum 3.0.
The cryptocurrency market continues to show dynamic development with new initiatives and increasing interest from institutional investors.
These events could become important catalysts for further growth and strengthen the position of cryptocurrencies in the global market.

The economy of the future is rapidly turning into a battleground dominated by colossal corporations, where the pace of change is daunting even for the boldest futurists.
Technological singularity leaves little room for long-term forecasts: a horizon of 3-4 years is already shrouded in uncertainty.
Despite discussions about the "limits" of technology, data shortages, and energy constraints that could potentially collapse the AI market, industry leaders continue to expand their influence.
Even if the AI market faces a correction, the major players will remain at the top.
Small and medium-sized companies might fall by the wayside, but titans with massive reserves and a solid customer base will weather any storm.
These three titans — Nvidia, Microsoft, and OpenAI—are not just players but the very foundation supporting the entire market.
The market won’t collapse as long as such giants remain at the top.
On the contrary, they are solidifying their positions, turning AI into the main driving force of the new digital economy.

MicroStrategy has once again surprised the market.
The company acquired 51,780 BTC for $4.6B, with an average purchase price of $88,627 per Bitcoin. This marks the largest BTC purchase in the company’s history.
To fund this acquisition, MicroStrategy sold 13.6 million shares, successfully raising capital.
Additionally, the company announced access to $42B over the next three years for further Bitcoin purchases.
The company’s phenomenon and its role in reshaping market dynamics can be traced across four key areas:
Instead of altcoins, retail investors increasingly choose MicroStrategy shares as a way to gain Bitcoin exposure.
This creates a massive liquidity multiplier. According to traders, $10B in MSTR shares is equivalent to $100B worth of altcoin purchases.
Altcoins, once favored for speculation, are losing their appeal.
Since September, investors have directed approximately $25B into MicroStrategy shares.
Had this capital flowed into altcoins, the market could have surged by 50%.
MicroStrategy’s purchases establish a transparent, regulated connection between the stock market and Bitcoin, creating a more stable growth source for BTC.
MicroStrategy could potentially match the current market capitalization of altcoins, estimated at $110B.
This is achievable thanks to institutional trust and the absence of extreme leverage, which is often associated with altcoins.
MicroStrategy demonstrates that Bitcoin is no longer just a crypto asset. It is now a Web2 corporate asset, deeply integrated with traditional finance.
2025 could become a pivotal year for the crypto market.
Bitcoin’s strength may increasingly rely on institutional tools like corporate shares and ETFs.

New China Playbook by Keyu Jin offers a captivating perspective on China’s governance model, where Confucian philosophy meets Big Tech.
Propaganda or analysis? That’s for the reader to decide.
Key Ideas:
China has merged a monopoly on political power with a decentralized economy.
Urbanization has reached 65%, yet GDP per capita remains three times lower than in the US.
The US chip ban has become a catalyst for self-reliance.
China ranks third globally in automation, surpassing Japan and Germany.
City-level competitions, where mayors are granted significant autonomy, drive innovation and infrastructure development.
State-owned enterprises provide stability, while private companies drive growth.
Today, 60% of GDP and 80% of jobs come from the private sector.
Startup investments are not just a private venture but also a key focus for city governments.
Stability is maintained by five state-owned banks, but debt levels have reached 300% of GDP.
The real estate boom has created a bubble, but savings and government controls are likely to cushion the impact.
China excels in B2C sectors (e.g., TikTok, fintech, drones) but lags in high-tech fields like chip manufacturing.
While patents and scientific output are increasing, quality over quantity remains the ultimate goal.
China envisions itself as a global leader in areas ranging from technology to climate action.
The country is learning to reinvent itself while preserving its unique model, where democracy takes a backseat to paternalism and "capitalism with Chinese characteristics."
China is not just an economy—it’s an ideological experiment shaping the 21st century.

The Avalanche ecosystem is preparing for groundbreaking changes with the ACP-77 proposal, promising to lower entry barriers, increase decentralization, and grant greater autonomy to validators.
Let’s break down why this matters.
Until now, Avalanche L1 validators were required to service the entire Primary Network, including the C-Chain, P-Chain, and X-Chain. This demanded:
With ACP-77, validators can now focus exclusively on their own L1s, synchronizing only with the P-Chain to manage validator data and facilitate cross-chain communication.
Validators are no longer required to participate in the Primary Network, reducing costs and making validation accessible to a broader range of participants.
Lower costs attract more participants, expanding the validator network and strengthening the resilience of the ecosystem.
Each L1 can set its own validation rules, staking requirements, and reward systems, enabling the creation of unique blockchains tailored to specific needs.
Regulated companies can avoid interacting with uncontrolled transactions, validating only their own permissioned L1s.
Validators will pay fees based on network load, reducing upfront costs and maintaining the sustainability of the P-Chain.
Innovation and Scalability
Avalanche takes a significant step toward horizontal scalability, allowing independent blockchains to operate in parallel without overloading the Primary Network.
Attracting New Projects
The absence of stringent validator requirements and the ability to customize L1s will attract more developers, companies, and institutional players.
ACP-77 is a bridge between a decentralized future and the real-world needs of users.
Avalanche is confidently moving toward creating an ecosystem where technology serves the interests of all participants.

Last week, Lex Fridman posted an interview with Argentina's President Javier Milei, which garnered 2.1 million views.
The new leader, an anarcho-capitalist, aims to reform his country through deregulation and the restoration of economic freedom.
Discover the thoughts of a revolutionary who swapped Che Guevara for the free market.
Inflation reduced drastically in a year.
For the first time in 16 years, a budget surplus was achieved despite decades of deficits.

Central Bank losses fixed at $45 billion; temporary currency controls introduced.
2025 forecast: 5-6% GDP growth and a doubling of per capita income within 10 years.
Private businesses showcase flexibility and adaptability.
Argentina climbed 90 positions in the economic freedom index within a year.
Milei declared war on corruption by ending monopolies on advertising and exposing widespread fraud, including fake benefits.
Fitch upgraded Argentina's rating to CCC — far from perfect but a significant improvement.
"Socialism killed 150 million people in the 20th century, and freedom is priceless in itself."
Milei highlights how bureaucracy distorts systems for control and emphasizes the fight for individual rights.
“There’s no point in living if you’re not ready to die for freedom.”
Argentina removes one regulation per day, aiming to scrap 3,000 by the end of Milei's term.
Federico Sturzenegger, the Minister of Deregulation, is helping build the world’s freest economy.
Milei admires Musk for his time efficiency and discussions on demographics.
He views Trump as an "anti-socialist Viking" and a Western ally.
“Don’t give up; try more, so you have no regrets.”
The younger generation, through technology, understands the value of freedom, even in the face of resistance from elites.
Milei can be seen as a modern Moses, leading his country through a sea of bureaucracy and crises toward freedom.

Discussions about the identity of Bitcoin’s creator have been ongoing for over a decade. We've heard theories about Dorian Nakamoto, Adam Back, Hal Finney, and even HBO-inspired narratives.
But despite all efforts, the mystery remains unsolved.
BTCparser offers a new hypothesis based on Bitcoin’s core feature—its blockchain.
Perhaps the key to solving the mystery lies not in personalities but in transactions—a sort of "Satoshi’s code."
Traditional theories suggest that Satoshi lost access to his keys, passed away, or chose to leave things untouched.
BTCparser’s hypothesis: after disappearing from the public eye, Satoshi continued mining under a new pseudonym.
In 2010, he created a "new stash" of coins that are still being used for anonymous sales.
❓ How Does BTCparser Build Its Logic?
Using 2010 coins avoids drawing attention to the original 2009 wallets.
This approach preserves anonymity and prevents unwanted questions.
🐋 2010 Megawhale: Traces of Satoshi?
Since 2019, BTCparser has been tracking mysterious wallets created in 2010. Their features include:
▪ Mined in 2010: after Satoshi’s initial activity, but early enough to associate with him.
▪ Dormant until activated: no activity until their awakening.
▪ Consolidation and distribution: funds are pooled into a single address and then redistributed to multiple bech32 addresses.
▪ November 2019: $5 million activated
▪ March 2020: $6–8 million liquidated
▪ October 2020: $11–13 million sold
▪ November 2024: 40 wallets awakened, $176 million sold
❓ A Hypothesis, Not a Conclusion
BTCparser emphasizes: this is just a hypothesis.
However, it provides a plausible explanation for why the 2009 wallets remain untouched while the 2010 assets are actively used.
🐋 Memecoin and Popularization
BTCparser itself launched a memecoin to visualize its theory.
The coin has no utility and was created purely to popularize the research.
Perhaps Satoshi has become a megawhale who influences the market from the shadows.
Or maybe this is just a 21st-century legend with its own new heroes.
