Now That Bitcoin Has Finally Surpassed the $100K Mark, What Comes Next?
There Are Three Paths To Choose For 2025
December 4th marked an important day in crypto history as Bitcoin finally crossed the six-figure threshold and flew over $100k per coin for the first time ever. In fact, it even topped the $103k mark before some profit taking occurred and it now sits in the $97k range. Still the breaking of this psychological barrier confirmed that Bitcoin remains a serious financial asset and will continue to push to new highs in the weeks and months ahead.
However, none of this comes as a surprise. We have been calling for this day for over a year. We told you that Bitcoin and Crypto were set to go boom in late 2024 with all the strong tailwinds propelling the industry forward and that is not likely to change in 2025.
Politically, the Trump Administration looks to be the most crypto-friendly ever and will be enacting policy and loosening regulations that should continue to keep the environment very bullish for the foreseeable future. Just this week, Trump made two key appointments choosing Davis Sacks to serve as the administration’s “Crypto Czar” and nominating Paul Atkins to be the new head of the SEC. Both are extremely pro-crypto and that will portend good things for the industry.
Now, with so much bullish action already behind us, what comes next? In my opinion, the fun is just beginning!
How To Play Crypto in 2025 - Choose Your Own Adventure
As I see it, there are now three paths to choose with digital assets in the coming year.
Option #1 - Follow the Leader
When it comes to crypto, Bitcoin is the safe play. It has always been the largest and most visible digital asset, so it will get the most attention and will be the project that generally defines the space. It will also continue to rise and generate the biggest headlines that will be critical to drawing more people into the space. That being said, despite my passion for crypto, I don’t actually hold very much Bitcoin. At this point, it may well do another 10x and eventually top $1M per coin! That would be a fantastic return for anyone, and I don’t look down on people that choose to be a single asset investor or want to play it safe. For those who have a lower tolerance for risk, but still want to be part of the crypto phenomenon, Bitcoin makes perfect sense to be a focal point.
Option #2 - Step Up to the Altcoin Casino
However, when it comes to crypto, I like to take the contrarian view. I have a higher tolerance for risk and to me, I would rather focus on 10 projects that could potentially do an 100x, than a single project that is likely to do an 10x like BTC.
The question you have to ask yourself is what is your comfort level speculating with high-risk, high-reward projects? Since I view these opportunities as limited windows to score big, I plan to continue with my strategy of focusing on low cap, high quality projects including:
TriasLab (TRIAS)
Agoras (AGRS)
Cellframe (CELL)
Quillibrium (QUIL)
Alkimi (ADS)
NeuralAI (NEURAL)
Arbius (AIUS)
I have discussed many of these projects before and if you track them like I do, you have seen them start to heat up in recent days. These are just the sparks that I believe will grow into a blazing fire in the next year. I strongly believe at least one or more of these will do an x100 in 2025, but that all will make significant gains.
The only other major crypto I hold that is not a low cap is Bittensor (TAO). It remains the King of AI projects and with that sector expected to continue to dominate for the foreseeable future, it is a project I believe may one day challenge Bitcoin and Ethereum for dominance in the crypto space. So even though it already has a market cap over $5B, I still think there are plenty of gains ahead. Plus, it has sweet staking rewards, which is an added bonus.
Option #3 - Refuse to Play
Really though, the only way not to make any financial progress is to choose option #3 and sit on the sidelines while huge gains are made. Anyone who follows crypto is generally familiar with the fact that these things run in four-year cycles and may remember how exciting things were in 2021 when a multitude of projects went ballistic. When you factor in that the atmosphere in 2025 will be leaps and bounds more crypto-friendly, the Bull Run is likely to be the biggest to date.
Do you want to be the one who misses out on the chance for life-changing gains? Only you can answer that question, and everyone who speculates in crypto should engage at a level that they are comfortable with. Keep in mind, any investment comes with a significant level of risk and you should never take chances with money that you could not afford to lose. As bullish as I am on the sector, there are no sure things.
No Guts, No Glory
In the end, I believe Thomas Jefferson was on the money when he said, “With great risk comes great reward”. You only receive a limited number of opportunities in your life to significantly alter your financial destiny and I truly believe the stars are aligning for this to be one of biggest we have ever seen.
No matter which path you choose though, I am hoping for a prosperous 2025 for all members of the Continually Better community.
