The strategy that paid off: El Salvador has already made $84 million on its Bitcoin (BTC) holdings.

We have repeatedly written about the president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, who spearheaded investing in Bitcoin at the state level, starting at the peak of the last bull market around $65,000–$69,000 per BTC.

The country’s portfolio now holds 2,861 BTC at an average price of $42,599. As you can imagine, El Salvador is on the upside! The country’s BTC stash is currently up +69%, and its total value exceeds $206 million.

This is what happens when your country is led by a Bitcoin maximalist 🚀🚀

🪙 80k BTC that recently moved?
Turns out they belong to Adam Back.

🗣️ Back and Peter Todd were basically portrayed as the "collective Satoshi" in the HBO doc — and honestly, it’s not a bad theory.

So Satoshi might already be here, slowly legitimizing his coins.

And given Back’s cryptography background, he could be sitting on a lot more wallets.

Thankfully, he’s a Bitcoin maximalist — not here to ruin it.

Bitcoin Hits $100K: A Historic Milestone

Bitcoin has officially shattered the $100,000 mark, a moment that cements its place in financial history and sends waves across the globe. Even President-elect Donald Trump applauded this achievement, calling Bitcoin a "financial revolution" and congratulating its holders.

Major Headlines Around Bitcoin’s Rise—

○ MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin stash has hit 400,002 BTC, reaping over $18 billion in profit. Saylor remains bullish, forecasting a $280 trillion market cap by 2045, envisioning Bitcoin as the backbone of the global financial system.

○ Germany’s sale of 50,000 BTC at $54,000 now reflects $2.4 billion in missed profits showcasing the perils of underestimating Bitcoin’s potential.

○ Russian President Vladimir Putin, on the other hand, dismissed the notion of banning Bitcoin outright, affirming its undeniable presence in global finance.

Looking ahead, Bitcoin’s unprecedented growth is fueled by institutional adoption, mainstream acceptance, and unwavering investor confidence. As the cryptocurrency continues its ascent, its role in shaping a decentralized global economy becomes more certain.

Less but better trades = more wins

Less stocks on your watchlist = more focus

Less risk per trade = more calmness

Less technical indicators = more signal clarity

In trading, less is more.

But just knowing when to trade and when not to.

Polygon DevRel Bruno Skvorc also got banned from WLFI – his tokens won’t be unlocked.

He called it “one of the biggest scams in history,” comparing WLFI to a “new-age mafia”: they stole my money, and there’s no one to complain to, no one to sue, nothing to do.

The project continues to face harsh criticism as more victims step forward.
