Block Earner Bulletin: Ok but seriously, is this time different?

How do I remain bullish in times like this without looking delusional? Well, I’ve mentioned it before (when BTC was about $25K) but it’s relevant again:

What specifically is going on in the world that presents a genuine, tangible threat to Bitcoin or does it remain unhindered to achieve its core mission?

Tariffs, global uncertainty over recession, geopolitical environments remain unpredictable… all very real economic factors that no doubt will have an effect on asset prices across the board. Even gold (boomer bitcoin) fell sharply recently, investors genuinely feel cash is a safer investment than the oldest and most valuable precious metal of all time. There is fear everywhere you look right now and it's my view that this is the product of uncertainty more than anything else - there is every chance Trump walks back some of these tariffs in the coming months.

Anything to the upside or downside is ultimately speculation and it's important everybody trades with that in mind. For me, the pristine nature of Bitcoin remains intact and as such I’m a buyer.

I also believe that all the institutional money that flowed in over the past 12-18 months doesn’t take losses. We could be on the verge of a major institutional bid for digital assets — and a very public shift in attitude — led by trusted entities around the world, likely born out of self interest but important nonetheless.

Tread carefully out there, we’re here to help if need be.

Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, suggested that Bitcoin (BTC) has the potential to challenge the U.S. dollar’s dominance as the global reserve currency. This statement came amid discussions on digital assets’ growing role in finance, highlighting Bitcoin’s evolution from a niche asset to a possible geopolitical tool.
