Bitcoin's 2025 growth will be driven by institutional adoption, regulatory changes, political shifts, reduced supply, macro trends, reserve asset potential, and most importantly—game theory.

Russian companies are now using locally mined Bitcoin for international trade to bypass sanctions.
Finance Minister Anton Siluanov stated, “Such transactions are already occurring. We believe they should be expanded and developed further. I am confident this will happen next year.”
In May 2023, I wrote about how BRICS might embrace bitcoin to reduce reliance on the USD.
Could Russia’s move mark the start?

I thought I was the only one - I am so with you! 🥂
At the beginning of 2024, the FCA restricted UK retail access to Bitcoin ETFs to 'protect' investors. Since then, Bitcoin has risen from £36,854 to £73,600, up 100%, still 12% below its all-time high.
It seems the FCA is protecting investors from the best-performing asset of the decade.
This article is 🔥.
Tether and Saylor together seem like a recipe for serious centralisation. The efforts both make to shape popular opinion should raise concerns.
“He also shared that Tether (USDT) and Circle’s USD Coin (USDC) are the real digital currencies and unveiled his “evil genius strategy” (his own words) to get the world to adopt the U.S. dollar stablecoins as opposed to bitcoin.”

Craig Wright, the self-proclaimed "creator of bitcoin," has been handed a suspended jail sentence for contempt after defying a court order and filing an absurd £911 billion lawsuit.

🤣🤣🤣
He probably won’t actually go to jail—he’s hiding in Asia. He didn’t turn up to court despite being required to do so.
Judge Mellor's judgment is that Craig Wright has expressed no remorse. He has imposed a term of imprisonment for 1 year, suspended for 2 years. Costs must be paid.

The saga continues...
BBC Stage 2 ECU Complaint Submitted (Ref: CAS-7858989-Z7B7B5):
Following the email on 4 December 2024 confirming that Stage 1 of the BBC complaints process had concluded, I began the Stage 2 ECU escalation on 12 December 2024.
12 December 24: The link provided on 4 December 2024 to escalate the complaint to stage 2 was broken. Called 0370 010 0222 for assistance and was told a new link would be issued.
16 December 24: Received a working link. BBC guidance states a 1,000-word limit, but the form only allows 5,000 characters—requiring heavy condensing of the complaint. The submission failed twice due to errors but succeeded on the third attempt.
The ECU aims to respond within 20 working days (or 35 working days for more complex cases, which this may fall into).
