Could this bull market retire us.

What will be the high point of Bitcoin for 2025.

It's hard to know where bitcoin is going to go this year. If the markets play out the way that they have in previous having years we should have a nice few months in front of us.

Even more important is what happens when trump takes office on Monday as he is seen to be a crypto friendly president from his pre-election speeches and the fact that he actually holds crypto.

If he backs up what he was saying over the past few months then it could kick off a crypto supercycle. This time for the first time everything is aligning towards helping crypto instead of fighting against adoption.

It will be very interesting to see what moves trump takes over the next few months.

  • Appointments.
  • Tax breaks.
  • SEC reform.
  • Crypto guidelines.
  • Bitcoin treasury.
  • Executive orders.

Trump has promised to be a "crypto president" and has appointed individuals with pro-crypto stances to key roles. This includes nominating Paul Atkins as SEC Chair, known for his crypto-friendly views, and David Sacks as "AI & Crypto Czar".

Depending on who you look at online predictions are ranging from 120K up to 250K this year.

This time I'm taking profits.

I've taken some in the past but never enough and never in time when the crash happens. Every bull market people say it's different and that it will last forever but every time there has been black swan event that killed momentum and then killed the prices.

If I had been less greedy I would be in a lot better position now for the next big bull market. This time I'm going to be slowly selling out a percentage of my tokens and moving them to stables with a steady return.

Even if we don't crash it's no harm to have a hedge against it and especially with Hive we never know what way the price is going to go. It could get up to $5 or drop back to 25c depending on the wider markets and what is happening within the community.

If the markets go high enough this year we could all get up to big numbers in our accounts but it's all for nothing if we don't bank some of it and build towards monetary freedom.

$200K HBD in savings pays out 30K a year in interest. That is a lot of money in most countries and enough to live off even here where it's quite expensive. Those aren't crazy numbers to talk about if HIVE, LEO, SPS all catch a run and go 10x. Small in crypto terms but the whole eco-system would be boosted.

It would be nice to play the markets right for once but very few people manage it. With that said, half the fun is trying to beat the game even if you never do.

30k per year of hbd interests means no need to work anymore, it's a full wage

That's the long term goal, always has been.

The problem is getting there.

I've taken some in the past but never enough and never in time when the crash happens.

I think 99% of us are guilty of that as well; I know I am, and hope my lesson is learned this time!

I hope we've learned those lessons.
Even looking at the markets today it's hard to know are we going up or down form here.

Hopefully down to stack some more... and then up up and awayyyyy! :)

I try as much as I can to not fall into "This time is different" mentality, even remotely. I think many of us who've witnessed previous cycles have learnt our lessons but it still remains to be known how well we will play the game in this cycle. Not being too greedy can be a good advantage.

I personally wouldn't stash that much in HBDs, some, there are risks, with more HBDs and Hive coming down in price I'm not sure how stable the price of HBDs would be...?

It's all theory but if i could get to those figures I would most likely split the balance across a few stablecoins and take the lower prices but extra safety in diversity.

I need to up my HBD target for the end of this bull market. I keep reading numbers that put mine to shame, lol.

If we have a crazy run these numbers are very manageable. If we had sold all of our splinterlands cards last time out i would have gotten there.

Won't go as high again with all of the new cards but we might hit something else like leo.

Yeah, don't remind me about Splintelands... LEO had its very good period too last bull market. It would be something to get there again or even close with either of them, but it will be difficult, price-wise.
