When you look at this list, one thing stands out — Wealth is not just about money. It’s about power, control, and influence over resources, people, and ideas.
Mansa Musa’s wealth was said to be immeasurable. Genghis Khan didn’t just conquer land, he controlled the world’s largest contiguous empire. Emperors like Shenzong, Akbar, and Wu Zetian built systems that shaped civilizations for centuries.
The most important factor here is not "who created Bitcoin," but what gives it its value today. We know the founders of most other cryptocurrencies by name, yet their value has risen due to the strength of their network and the markets' reliance on it, not because of the name of the person who wrote the code. Bitcoin is a decentralized, open-source protocol; anyone can review and run the code, and therefore it relies not on trust in an individual, but on trust in a system.
Like it or not, Bitcoin is gradually becoming a store of value due to its mathematical scarcity and its connection to the cultural shift toward a digital economy driven by technologies such as artificial intelligence. As quantum computing advances, security and encryption will become more central, and only currencies and protocols that are capable of updating their encryption and resisting quantum mining will survive—an additional technical advantage that will give future cryptocurrencies greater value as the digital landscape becomes more complex.
When most production, consumption, and financial transactions move to digital systems, scarce and mathematically verifiable digital assets will assume a role similar to that of gold in the last century.
History shows that major technological transformations create exceptional opportunities for those who understand them early. Many in the next two decades will regret not entering this field early on. Objecting to cryptocurrencies because they are "non-physical" is similar to rejecting the internet in the 1990s on the grounds that it was intangible—value in the digital age is created by scarcity, adoption, and security, not by materiality.
Ultimately, people are hostile to what they don't know, so the naysayers' rejection is understandable, perfectly normal, and won't affect the truth in the slightest. There are always those who are ahead of their time, those who are behind their time, and those in the middle trying to keep up.

#BTCVSGOLD #BTCVSGOLD 🪙 Bitcoin vs. Gold: The New Safe Haven?
Gold is the traditional safe haven, a physical asset that has proven its value over thousands of years and is characterized by lower stability and moderate volatility.
Bitcoin (BTC), on the other hand, is "digital gold," a decentralized and inherently rare asset known for its high volatility and potentially huge returns.
Both serve as a hedge against inflation, but they attract different types of investors. Traders prefer gold for preserving capital and stability, while investors seeking growth and risk are drawn to Bitcoin. A well-balanced portfolio can benefit from both.
#BTCVSGOLD **Peter Schiff and the Gold Bar in Dubai: A Simple Question Reveals a Historic Shift** Yesterday in Dubai, Peter Schiff (the most famous advocate for gold) took to the stage holding a gold bar. CZ (the founder of Binance) asked him a simple and direct question: **"Is this real gold?"** Schiff's answer was shocking: **"I don't know."** This incident reveals a truth well known to gold experts: the only way to be 100% certain of gold's purity is to melt it down. Verification requires destroying the original.
**The Profound Paradox:**
* **Gold:** Requires laboratories, experts, and blind trust in intermediaries.
* **Bitcoin:** Verifies itself in seconds. It needs no intermediaries, no trust, and no destruction. A public ledger protected by mathematics, it can be instantly verified by hundreds of millions of people worldwide from anywhere.
**The Often-Unmentioned Figures:** - 5% to 10% of the global gold market is linked to fake gold.
The $29 trillion gold market is built on the phrase: "Trust me."
The $1.8 trillion Bitcoin market is built on the principle: "Verify for yourself."
This isn't a discussion about volatility or speculation, but about a revolution in the concept of "trust." When even the most ardent defenders of gold can't verify the gold they hold, it means that: - Physical assets that can't prove their existence will lose their monetary value to digital assets that prove their existence every 10 minutes, in every block, forever.
#FOMCWatch The currency market is awaiting the Federal Reserve meeting and interest rate decision. Currently, expectations are for a 0.25% rate cut, which would be very positive for the market and could spark a surge in alternative currencies. However, some reports suggest that the interest rate will be held steady due to concerns about inflation. This time, unlike in previous months, no one knows what the Fed's decision will be.
#FOMCWatch Today's markets are focused on the US Federal Reserve meeting, with Bitcoin and altcoin traders eagerly anticipating the outcome. Following the release of unemployment claims data showing relative stability in the labor market, expectations point to the Fed holding interest rates steady. This scenario is considered relatively positive for cryptocurrencies, as stability provides investors with some reassurance and reduces selling pressure, potentially allowing investment flows into the market to continue. However, the impact remains limited in the short term, as future price movements depend on the Fed's detailed statements and investor behavior in response to any future signals of monetary tightening or easing. Overall, a stable interest rate may provide temporary support for Bitcoin and altcoins, but it does not guarantee a strong rally unless accompanied by other positive economic indicators, such as GDP growth or increased liquidity in financial markets.
#BinancehodlerSOMI $YGG just woke up with a spark. Trading at $0.0736, the chart is pulsating after a clean push upwards, reaching a 24-hour high of $0.0739 before settling down slightly. Buyers are still showing strength with over 15.39 million YGG traded, while sellers have barely managed to keep pace with the USDT side at 1.11 million volume.
The move from the 24-hour low of $0.0695 to its current level shows that the market is shedding its weakness and building momentum candle after candle. The recent one-minute surge to $0.0737 has ignited traders' excitement, but the quick flash of red reminds everyone that the battle is far from over. Momentum is alive, volatility is breathing, and every click feels like a heartbeat.
Right now, $YGG is teetering between pressure and the potential for a breakout. Bulls want another round above $0.0739, while bears are poised to slip back into the $0.0732–$0.0734 range.

#ETHBreaksATH Its biggest peak in history... Has a new era begun? Ethereum surprises the market and breaks its all-time high price for the second time — but this time the feeling is completely different. It's not a passing high... but a move that indicates real structural strength within the ETH system. Why is this break important?
🔹 High activity in Layer 2s 🔹 Institutional liquidity flowing directly into ETH 🔹 Clear increase in network fees = real usage 🔹 Growing tone around the Ethereum ETF and institutional acceptance And the question now: **Will we see a new ATH wave soon?
Or is this the last gasp before a strong correction?** Analysts are divided: • One team sees this as the beginning of Wave 5 that will take ETH to unprecedented levels • And another team is concerned about price gaps that could pull the market down before continuing the rally Where do you see the trend?
Do you think ETH is on track for 6K–7K levels with the start of the next quarter?
en|en|#USJobsDataEveryone is focused on the charts in 15 minutes, but real investors are looking at something else: the employment data in the United States. 🇺🇸📊
There is a lot of noise in the market, but let's analyze what the employment data in the United States really means for your portfolio and why this indicator determines the outcome of the current rise.
Why this data influences the market
In the world of cryptocurrencies, liquidity is paramount. When the employment data in the United States is "positive" (more jobs than expected), the US dollar (DXY) strengthens. Historically, a high DXY puts strong pressure on risk assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Conversely, if the data indicates a "slowdown," it signals to the Federal Reserve that the economy is slowing down. This increases the chances of rate cuts, and rate cuts fuel a crypto super-cycle. 🚀
Context: key points to watch
We are currently at a decisive turning point. The market is pricing in future volatility based on these figures.
Scenario A (Short-term Bearish): Employment figures exceed expectations significantly. Expect a sharp drop in the DXY. This is often a buying opportunity for savvy investors.
Scenario B (High): The data is weaker than expected. The prevailing narrative focuses on the need for liquidity injection by the Fed. This is when we see significant increases.
My strategy: Do not use leverage immediately after the data is released. Strong fluctuations (sharp movements up and down) liquidate long positions just like short positions. Instead, wait 15 minutes for the trend to establish.
I am monitoring key support levels for Bitcoin ($BTC). If the employment data leads to a drop,
