Why is purchasing extremely low-cost projects acceptable?
If you are purchasing with a clear plan and do not intend to invest all of your money, then it is acceptable.
For instance, #bitcoin was worth zero dollar when it was first introduced in 2009. Then, the price jumped from its long-held $0.10 level to $0.15 on October 26, 2010, and it almost reached $0.30 by the end of the year. It reached a peak of $30.05 on June 9 after surpassing $1 in 2011. Thereafter, the price of $BTC dropped due to a severe recession in cryptocurrency markets, closing the year at about $4.
It took almost three years for $BTC to rise from $0 to $1. This is very typical in the cryptocurrency world when cryptocurrency is listed on exchanges. They follow specific patterns when they rise and fall. Very much like the life of a star.*
It is not a cause for concern. As a trader, you should be concerned about how much money you are investing in a certain endeavor and how much you are risking. In the realm of finance and trading, diversification and its management are #FundamentalPrinciples
*Stars have a distinct life stages, ranging from birth to life and death, and they exist for a specific period of astronomical time. The longest stage of a star's existence is known as the "life stage". They shine brightly at their peak and then fade away forever.
The same is true of cryptocurrencies; they reach their peak, which is at the life stage, and then they plummet — the death stage.
Statistics show that the majority of them fade away before ever reaching the life stage. Others who cross the line into a life stage will also die at the end of that life stage and fade away forever. Only a few of them get stronger and ascend to even greater heights, like Stellar Corpses ("The remnants of massive stars become either neutron stars (extremely dense) or, if the mass is high enough, black holes").

As of today, I believe that we can only witness the #LifeStagesOfBitcoin . It is the first cryptocurrency that has surpassed or is surpassing the line of the life stage (or, it has entered to or is entering to its life stage).
I believe there will be a lot more cryptocurrencies to observe their life stages in the future. Perhaps we already have other cryptocurrencies, but we are unaware of them yet, or perhaps it is me who is unaware of such cryptocurrencies.

$BTC $ETH $XRP
The narrative of Bitcoin as “digital gold” faced a serious test in 2025. While Bitcoin entered the year with strong momentum following a major 2024 rally, gold delivered one of its strongest annual performances in decades. The divergence has reshaped the store-of-value debate heading into 2026.

Key Takeaways
Gold surged roughly 55–65% in 2025, reaching new all-time highs near $4,000 per ounce.Bitcoin ended 2025 flat to negative after peaking above $120,000 earlier in the year.Outlook for 2026 remains mixed: gold maintains structural tailwinds, while Bitcoin depends on renewed liquidity and institutional catalysts.
With gold benefiting from fiscal stress, inflation hedging flows, and central bank accumulation, and Bitcoin struggling under risk-asset dynamics and reduced institutional inflows, the performance gap widened meaningfully.
2025: A Year of Divergence
Gold entered 2025 trading around $2,600–$2,800 per ounce and built steadily throughout the year. Escalating U.S. fiscal deficits, persistent inflation concerns, and continued diversification by emerging market central banks fueled demand. By September, gold had reached approximately $3,674 per ounce, before pushing toward the $4,000 level in the fourth quarter.
Full-year returns are estimated between +45% and +70%, with consensus clustering near +55–65%. In contrast, Bitcoin peaked above $120,000–$126,000 early in 2025 but struggled to sustain momentum. Regulatory uncertainty, declining ETF inflows, and broader risk-off conditions pressured performance.
By year-end, Bitcoin returns ranged from slightly positive to negative across datasets, with several estimates pointing to a decline of 5–17%. The relative underperformance marked one of the rare periods in which gold clearly outpaced Bitcoin in annual returns.
Structural Drivers Behind Gold’s Strength
Gold’s rally was underpinned by macroeconomic forces rather than speculative positioning. Key drivers included:
U.S. federal deficits approaching $1.8 trillion.Persistent inflation expectations.Central bank accumulation, particularly from emerging markets.Geopolitical instability increasing safe-haven demand.
Unlike Bitcoin, which often trades as a high-beta risk asset during tightening cycles, gold retained its traditional role as a volatility dampener. Its realized volatility remained significantly lower than Bitcoin’s, which hovered around 50% in 2025.
Bitcoin’s 2025 Headwinds
Bitcoin’s weakness stemmed from multiple overlapping factors. Post-ETF enthusiasm faded, institutional inflows moderated, and correlations with risk assets resurfaced during periods of macro stress. The anticipated decoupling from traditional markets did not fully materialize.
The BTC/Gold ratio, often used to gauge Bitcoin’s relative strength versus gold, stalled near prior highs but failed to break into sustained outperformance territory. The result was a year in which gold dominated the store-of-value narrative.
2026 Outlook: Can Bitcoin Regain Momentum?
Looking ahead to 2026, projections for both assets remain constructive but uneven. Some market participants argue that the BTC/Gold ratio may be forming a structural bottom after its 2025 breakdown. Analysts such as IncomeSharks have pointed to technical compression in the ratio, suggesting Bitcoin could regain relative strength if macro risk appetite improves.
Gold Projections
Major financial institutions have raised gold targets toward the $5,000–$5,400 range by late 2026, with more optimistic scenarios extending beyond $6,000 under continued macro stress. Even conservative outlooks imply mid-single to double-digit percentage gains.
Central bank demand and geopolitical hedging flows remain persistent structural supports.
Bitcoin Projections
Bitcoin entered 2026 trading roughly 30% below its 2025 highs, in the $67,000–$70,000 range. Forecasts vary widely. Some analysts see recovery toward $100,000 by year-end, while more bullish projections extend into the $150,000–$230,000 range if liquidity conditions improve and halving cycle dynamics resume their historical pattern.
Short-term downside scenarios toward $50,000–$75,000 remain plausible if macro pressures persist.
Relative Performance Odds
Prediction markets and sentiment indicators suggest a modest tilt toward Bitcoin outperforming gold in 2026, though conviction remains limited. Bitcoin’s fixed supply and digital scarcity thesis continue to attract long-term capital, while gold’s demand remains grounded in macro stability concerns.
In effect, gold’s trajectory is supported by structural macro tailwinds, whereas Bitcoin’s path depends more heavily on liquidity expansion and risk appetite recovery.
Long-Term Perspective
Over multi-year horizons, Bitcoin has historically outpaced gold in percentage terms, particularly during expansionary cycles. However, 2025 demonstrated that Bitcoin does not always function as a direct substitute for gold during fiscal or geopolitical stress.
The divergence underscores that while both assets serve as alternatives to fiat systems, their behavior differs significantly across macro regimes.
Conclusion
Bitcoin did not overshadow gold in 2025. Gold’s rally, driven by deficits, inflation, and geopolitical uncertainty, dominated the performance landscape. For 2026, Bitcoin retains potential for outperformance if liquidity conditions shift and institutional flows return. However, gold’s structural momentum suggests it may continue to command safe-haven preference in a fragile macro environment.
Rather than viewing the assets as direct competitors, investors may increasingly treat them as complementary hedges that rotate in leadership depending on economic conditions.

#BitcoinVsGold

There are many criteria to consider while selecting a cryptocurrency asset. I'll go over all of the other criteria you should consider when choosing which cryptocurrency to add to your #CryptoAssetPortfolio in the following posts.
Here is one of my strategies for selecting a crypto asset to add to my portfolio.
The strategy is as follows: purchase an inexpensive cryptocurrency that has the potential to grow steadily.
I put assets into two categories: those costing more than 1 USDC and those costing less than 1 USDC, as well as those costing more than or less than 0.000001 USDC.
$BTC
The concept behind this is that with a #TinyInvestment you can purchase a large number of coins and still have good return on investment. Because it takes longer time for a coin to rise from a nominal price of $100 to $1,000 than it does for a coin with a nominal price of $0.000001 to rise to $0.00001. Again, it takes less time for a cryptocurrency's price to rise from $0.000000001 to $0.0000001 than it does from $0.000001 to $0.00001. In any case, it provides the same 10x return on investment.
It is comparable to mining Bitcoin; mining BTC from 0.000000001 to 0.0000001 takes less time than mining BTC from 0.0001 to 0.0002.
This is my method, which is called the CE (cost-efficient) method!
In a worst-case scenario, I am losing a small amount of capital, and vice versa, at the least, I will gain 10x on average.
$XEC
In my instance, I purchased XEC at the market price of about $0.000008. Unlike projects that cost more than $10 or $100 per coin or token, such projects can easily yield 10x. In addition, if I set my target price at $1 (1 000 000x) and then $10 (10 000 000x) per coin/token, it will easily earn me the annual salary of a starting scientist and the annual salary of an average professor at the leading universities in the USA, respectively.
So I bought a significant amount of XEC for a small investment. However, you can choose any other cryptocurrency using the CE method!

What else should you consider? The older the asset, the more stable and reliable it is. However, if its price has been declining or hasn't changed much in years, it is not a positive sign; this indicates that this asset has no potential.
In the instance of XEC, the chart implies that its value is declining. Nevertheless, there is nothing risky about a little capital to hold ten thousand tokens and keep an eye on them for a few years.
$ETH
In addition, just to let you know, I had to select between XEC and another crypto that was younger, but I chose XEC since I like the project and the name. In the financial world, selecting an asset based on its name may not seem good. But it's my decision. And I do not advise you to do so.
And, XEC was purchased with payment I received through the Write to Earn program.
This is the first step toward becoming a millionaire starting with zero investment, and you're witnessing it!
🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋
Other than my time, which I anyway devote to writing and study, and my knowledge, I didn't invest any money. Just wanted to share my work with you. Win-win!
#BitcoinVsGold #FedRateCut #Write2Earn!

To begin, for those who are unfamiliar with programming language, here are three key definitions to understand more about cryptocurrency/digital currency:
$BTC
1) A permissionless consensus #protocol and a difficulty adjustment function in which participants compete to solve cryptographic hash puzzles in order to probabilistically earn the right to commit blocks and associated rewards commensurate with the amount of computing work they put in.
$ETH
2) Byzantine fault tolerance (#BFT ) based system is used which is to tolerate up to one-third of faulty or malicious nodes without compromising the network's integrity.
$BNB
3) A node in networking refers to any device or point that connects to a network. Nodes serve as key elements in the transmission, reception, and processing of data. Whether it's a computer, a router, or even a printer, all network devices are considered nodes.

#BitcoinVsGold #writetoernBinance #BitcoinForecast

In sum, the #Bitcoin mining process is primarily intended to prevent double-spending and establish consensus from nodes on the content of the blockchain. This mechanism tracks bitcoin spending to ensure that each bitcoin is spent only once.
$BTC
This process involves making computer hardware to do mathematical calculations for the Bitcoin network in order to confirm transactions and increase security. The higher the processing power, the higher the Bitcoin network’s security. 
Therefore, #Bitcoinmining necessitates extensive mathematical operations for security reasons and involves maintaining the blockchain using computer processing power. 

And, as you may recall, a new block is created every 10 minutes and is updated on the blockchain across all nodes without central control. The difficulty of generating a block is deterministically modified based on the network's mining power by adjusting the difficulty target, which is recalibrated every 2,016 blocks (approximately two weeks) to maintain an average time of 10 minutes between new blocks.
$ETH
This process demands tremendous processing power and consequently specialized hardware.The two main types of hardware used in Bitcoin mining are GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) and ASICs (Application-Specific Integrated Circuits). Each has its advantages, but ASICs dominate, as they offer higher hash rates while consuming less energy compared to GPUs.
$BNB
The #hashrate is the measuring unit of the processing power of the Bitcoin network. For example, if the network achieved a hash rate of 10 Th/s, it could make 10 trillion calculations per second.
#BitcoinVsGold #Write2Earrn

#Miners who successfully produce a new block with a valid nonce receive a fixed reward in bitcoin. Additionally, a special transaction known as a coinbase is included in the block in order to claim rewards, in which the miner is the payee. All of the bitcoins that are now in use have been produced through this type of transaction.
$BTC
As more people start mining, the network dynamically raises the difficulty of finding valid blocks to ensure the average time to find a block is maintained at 10 minutes. As a result, mining is a highly competitive business in which miners compete with each other to find the valid nonce and add new transactions to a blockchain since no single miner has authority over what is included in the blockchain.

On top, mining bitcoin gets even tougher over time due to the fact that the reward in bitcoin is halved every 210,000 blocks until ₿21 million are given, which is estimated to occur in the year 2140. 
$XAU
Thereafter, miners will only profit from transaction fees. These fees are determined by the size of the transaction and the quantity of data stored, which is calculated in #SatoshisPerByte .

Why Bitcoin Could Overtake Gold, According to Cathie Wood

Cathie Wood believes Bitcoin’s decentralized nature makes it a stronger asset than gold in the digital era.Jerome Powell compares Bitcoin to digital gold, emphasizing its role as a store of value in a growing market.
CEO of ARK Invest, Cathie Wood, has underlined once more her conviction that Bitcoin has more value and relevance than gold. The expected appointment of Paul Atkins as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) new chairman fuels her hope.
Renowned for his crypto-friendly approach, Atkins is expected to create a legal climate that supports creativity in the digital asset market.
Given the difficulties Gary Gensler’s current regulatory environment presents, Wood sees this as a chance for Bitcoin to confirm its place as a pillar of the global financial ecosystem.
Bitcoin: A Digital Gold for the Modern Era
Complementing this story, recent remarks made by Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell have attracted more interest in the possibilities of Bitcoin.
Emphasizing its function as a store of value rather than a direct rival of the U.S. dollar, Powell likened BTC to a digital form of gold.
Given the gold market’s valuation of about $15 trillion and Bitcoin’s current market cap of around $2 trillion, the discrepancy highlights Bitcoin’s early growth stage.
Many institutional investors share Powell’s recognition of Bitcoin’s growing relevance as a major actor in the financial scene.
According to Wood, in the digital era, Bitcoin is a better substitute for gold because of its limited availability and distributed character.
Under Atkins’s guidance, the increasing institutional acceptance and legal certainty are expected to drive significant growth for Bitcoin.
Moreover, Wood emphasizes that Bitcoin is a revolutionary financial tool since its natural qualities fit the changing needs of a digital-first global society.
The recent surge in Bitcoin’s value, surpassing the $100,000 barrier for the first time, demonstrates its increasing velocity. Analyzes credit this milestone on Powell’s comments as well as the expected legislative change under Atkins.
These events have not only raised investor confidence but also positioned Bitcoin as a more solid rival to conventional assets like gold.
For Wood, these elements support her belief that the development narrative of Bitcoin is merely starting.
Previously, CNF noted Wood claimed Bitcoin might become a strong competitor to gold as a safe-haven investment during turbulent times for the economy.
She underlined Bitcoin’s exceptional performance throughout the financial crisis and its long-term upward tendency compared to gold.
