As the Weakest Currency, Bringing Rp50,000 Can Turn Into Millions of Rials in Iran
Iran has entered a phase of increasingly severe economic crisis. This economic pressure is caused by rising inflation and a crisis of confidence in the local currency. In fact, the Iranian rial has become the weakest currency in the world after plummeting 2,388% in less than a year.
Due to its severity, the Iranian rial continues to lose its purchasing power against the rupiah. 1 Iranian rial is now worth 0.01 rupiah, and worse, this currency of the Mullah's country is even valued at 0 against the US dollar.
This means that if an Indonesian citizen (WNI) brings Rp50,000 to Iran, its value could reach 3,156,859 Iranian rials. Even an Indonesian with a Regional Minimum Wage (UMR) salary could end up with millions if exchanged for Iranian rials, according to xe.com.

American Rapper Once Sold His Album for 700 Bitcoin, Now Worth Rp1 Trillion
The American rapper 50 Cent once sold his album titled "Animal Ambition" for 700 Bitcoin (BTC) back in 2014, when BTC was still valued at around US$600 per coin.
After selling it, he temporarily forgot about it until several years later. Even if 50 Cent still holds onto it, its value is now worth US$64.4 million, equivalent to Rp1.09 trillion.
"Pretty good for a kid from the South Side, I'm really proud of myself," wrote the rapper, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, on Instagram.

Bitcoin Rebound to US$94,000, Causing IDR 7 Trillion in Short Positions to Be Liquidated
$BTC rebound to US$94,000 or 3.2%, according to CoinMarketCap, Tuesday (06/01) morning. However, this rise also led to the liquidation of Bitcoin short positions worth US$436 million or around IDR 7 trillion.

Meanwhile, the catalyst for this Bitcoin rally occurred amid rumors that a pro-crypto candidate will run to replace Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro. Additionally, the Satoshi whale era just bought 7,658 Bitcoins worth US$710 million on the same day.

Getting Richer, The Wealth of the Richest People in the World Increased Rp36.696 Trillion Last Year
500 richest people in the world added their collective wealth by a record US$2.2 trillion or around Rp36.696 trillion, bringing their total net worth to US$11.9 trillion.
This increase was driven by the euphoria of Big Tech stocks and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the United States. About a quarter of all gains came from just eight individuals including Larry Ellison, Elon Musk, Larry Page, and Jeff Bezos.
Elon Musk became the biggest gainer in 2025, with his wealth rising by US$190.3 billion to US$622.7 billion. This was largely driven by his ownership in SpaceX and Tesla, although it was affected by his political activities.

*Features | Child's Exchange 16 Years Lost 99,000 Bitcoin, Now Worth Rp146.5 Trillion*
Zhao Tong, a 16-year-old from China, was fascinated by the idea of unlimited digital money. This motivated Zhao to create Bitcoinica, the first crypto exchange with margin trading features.
Bitcoinica quickly became very popular and processed large volumes. However, limitations in experience, weak security systems, and personal pressures led him to sell the platform.
Although efforts to improve were made by the new owner, Bitcoinica continued to be hacked repeatedly in 2012, resulting in the loss of approximately 99,000 BTC, including that of major investors.
This destroyed Zhao's reputation and became one of the largest losses in crypto history, while also leaving a strong message that without serious security and good asset management, even the most sophisticated innovations can end in disaster.

Bitcoin $BTC is expected to lose 6.2% throughout the year 2025 with the current price at US$87,700, according to CoinMarketCap, Tuesday (30/12). However, looking at the catalysts for Bitcoin's decline, the tariffs imposed by United States (US) President Donald Trump are the most significant.

This figure marks the largest liquidation in history caused by Trump's decision to threaten extraordinary tariffs on China.

Rial Crashes, Bitwise CEO: Bitcoin Can Be a Protector of Iranian Citizens' Savings
Protests erupted in Tehran after the value of the Iranian rial fell to its lowest point, causing people's savings to continue to erode. Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley believes this situation highlights the importance of Bitcoin (BTC) as a hedge against economic mismanagement.
“Bitcoin offers a new way for people to protect the value of their wealth when the local currency continues to weaken,” he said.
Horsley mentioned that the currency crisis due to poor fiscal policy is not a new thing, and Bitcoin offers an alternative so that assets do not collapse. Throughout 2025, the rial was recorded to have lost more than 40% of its purchasing power against the US dollar.

Ethereum-XRP Holders Must Bite the Bullet Throughout the Year Due to Losses
Not only Bitcoin holders ($BTC ) have experienced losses throughout the year 2025, as there are still Ethereum holders ($ETH ) and $XRP who failed to gain annual profits due to significant declines.
Meanwhile, Ethereum has lost 12.4% in the last year at the current price of US$2,900, while XRP is down 13.1% at the price of US$1.86, according to CoinMarketCap, Tuesday (30/12).
Furthermore, the current decline in Ethereum is due to an outflow of ETFs last week reaching US$59.5 million amid buying pressure and eroded institutional confidence.

How to Identify Undervalued Crypto Projects?
We tend to invest in undervalued crypto projects and avoid overvalued projects. Undervalued projects are relatively less appreciated by the market and have the potential for value increase. So, how can we identify undervalued projects?
See In-Depth Fundamental Analysis.
It is important to see whether the project is fundamentally valuable or not. Several things to consider are market cap, revenue, active users, and innovation/tech moat. If these various metrics are good, then we can conclude that fundamentally a project is interesting.

Four Stages to Overcome the Dopamine Loop and Speculative Behavior.
Many people trading on launchpads for memecoins like Pump.Fun are caught in a dopamine cycle that leads them to continuously chase gains without end, ultimately resulting in greater losses. So, what are the self-control stages that must be undertaken to address these financial emotional states?
Build Emotional Awareness.
The first step to avoiding the "reluctance to sell" behavior is to recognize the difference between logical decisions (based on data, market cap, volume, narrative) and emotional decisions (based on excitement, FOMO, or false hope). When we cannot distinguish emotional aspects from existing rational facts, we will remain trapped there.

Crypto Market in Deep Red, What Should Be Done?
In the last 24 hours, the crypto market has experienced significant liquidation. This situation has certainly caused panic among market participants. What should we do now?
Position Evaluation.
In such situations, it is very appropriate to see what our position is. If we need to do trimming after a significant downturn, then do the trimming. If we need to do trimming because the thesis is invalid, that can also be done. Evaluation must be conducted to assess the position. The market is dynamic, and we must also do the same.

How to Avoid Missing Generational Opportunity?
In the crypto market, everything happens in just a matter of seconds. For example, yesterday, Aster experienced a significant increase just because of a tweet from CZ at 1 AM. If you participate, you could achieve a 400% increase and perhaps become one of the generational plays in this cycle. So, how can you avoid missing such plays again?
Improve Your Mindset.
The fact is, we will miss many things. It is too impossible for us as humans to chase all the opportunities in the highly volatile market. Have the mindset that there will be many opportunities that we miss because of work, busyness, or lack of confidence in that play. When we miss a generational play, don’t be upset, don’t revenge trade. There is always another chance at another time.

How to Identify Overvalued Altcoins?
Overvalued is a situation where the price of an asset is valued excessively compared to its actual value. This situation causes us to buy at a high price, creating potential vulnerability when the asset price begins to correct towards its fair value. So, how do we know if an Altcoin is already overvalued?
Higher Valuation Compared to Realization.
This situation occurs when the market cap is already quite high but revenue is low and the project is not developing.
For example, Altcoins that have a market cap of $1B but only have revenue of $100K. This shows P/S = 10,000x.
