🪙 2025 became a turning point for Bitcoin, as the traditional four-year cycle failed to play out.

The long-standing model of “three green years followed by one red year” has lost its relevance, and the impact of halvings appears to be significantly weaker than before.

The market is entering a phase where old patterns no longer provide reliable guidance.

🗄 A Reddit user shared how he lost access to his BTC for seven years due to a single typo.

In 2017, he encrypted a BIP38 paper wallet with what he believed was a secure and memorable password, but when he tried to recover it in 2024, none of the variations worked. In the end, the issue turned out to be just one incorrect character — a key pressed next to the intended one.

The story serves as a reminder of how critical small details are when self-custodying cryptocurrency.

🪙 There is circulating information that Venezuela may control a large “shadow” reserve of Bitcoin — potentially up to 600 000 BTC.

According to Reuters and the Wilson Center, the Maduro government sold around 73 tons of gold in 2018, with intelligence estimates suggesting the proceeds were converted into BTC to avoid freezes by the U.S. Treasury.

Additional reports claim that by late 2025, up to 80% of oil exports were settled in USDT, with funds later funneled into Bitcoin.

🗽 The adoption of the CLARITY Act, which is meant to define the regulatory structure of the US crypto market, could be delayed for several years.

The law is unlikely to be passed before 2027, with real implementation potentially stretching to 2029, due to political disputes and Democrats delaying the vote ahead of the 2026 elections.

🖥 Analysts believe that US access to Venezuela’s oil resources could eventually lower electricity costs for Bitcoin mining and improve miner margins.

However, the impact will not be immediate: a meaningful increase in oil production and its effect on energy prices would take years, despite US interest and Chevron’s presence in the country.
