The path forward is not a road, but a filing cabinet of interlocking fates.
But wait, there’s more! VanEck’s wizards of finance also predict Bitcoin will settle up to 10% of global trade and cozy up to 2.5% of central bank reserves as the ultimate monetary hedge. Because, you know, who needs gold when you can have digital gold? 🏦✨
Michaël van de Poppe, our resident market oracle, has noted that Bitcoin’s recent escapade has triggered a new low on the 3-day MACD indicator. He grandly declared this drop “was heavier than the 2022 Luna crash, the 2020 COVID crash, or the 2018 bear market.” Well, one can only hope he was not speaking from experience!
