The price of Bitcoin (BTC) has not been particularly impressive over the weekend, which has been a somewhat consistent theme of the cryptocurrency market so far in the year 2025. The premier cryptocurrency continues to hover around the $108,000 mark, showing signs of indecision amongst the investors. With the coin’s indecisive price action, the conversation has been about when the Bitcoin price will return to its all-time high. Interestingly, the latest on-chain data shows that investors are becoming increasingly confident in the long-term promise of the flagship cryptocurrency. Bitcoin Exchange Inflow/Outflow Ratio Below 1: On-Chain Analyst In a July 5 post on the X platform, an on-chain analyst with the pseudonym Darkfost revealed that Bitcoin has continued to flow out of centralized exchanges over the past few months. The online crypto pundit mentioned that this trend reflects the growing confidence of investors in the long term.

A high ratio (>1) indicates more inflows than outflows into exchanges, signaling increased selling pressure for the premier cryptocurrency. On the other hand, a low ratio (
Whales are quietly accumulating FARTCOIN while sentiment stays bearish—setting up a potential breakout.
Bitcoin slipped back after hitting an intra‑week peak of $110,600. It dipped about 1.4% over two days. Yet some big names say this looks more like routine wobble than a crash. Based on reports, ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’ author Robert Kiyosaki took to Twitter on July 5 to call out what he called “losers” chasing clicks by warning of a Bitcoin collapse. He argued that these warnings only scare off people who might buy and hold for the long haul. Clickbait Claims On The Rise According to his July 5 tweet, Kiyosaki sees clickbait headlines as more about clicks than facts. He pointed out that some writers and social‑media voices claim BTC has hit its cycle top. They say it could plunge soon. But he thinks those calls are meant to keep everyday investors on the sidelines. He warned that fear‑mongering headlines push short‑term traders to sell too early. Kiyosaki didn’t just criticize. He shared his own plan if Bitcoin does drop sharply. He said he hopes “bitcoin crashes’ and buy more coins at a lower price. CLICK BAIT Losers keeps warning of a Bitcoin crash. They want to frighten off the speculators. I hope Bitcoin crashes. I will only buy more. Take care. — Robert Kiyosaki (@theRealKiyosaki) July 5, 2025 He already added to his stash this week, buying above $100,000 per BTC. That shows his faith in a rebound. Many traders use a similar playbook: buy on weakness to lower their average cost. Bullish Targets Drive Decisions He’s set some big goals. Based on his posts, he expects Bitcoin to hit $200,000 by the end of the year. He also predicts it could reach $1 million over the next five years. He treats a drop as a chance to load up on what he calls “the biggest opportunity in history.” He groups the top crypto alongside gold and silver as must‑have assets. BITCOIN is $84k today. Strongly believe Bitcoin will reach $180k to $200k in 2025. What do you think? — Robert Kiyosaki (@theRealKiyosaki) April 20, 2025 Not everyone sees it his way. Some analysts warn that a 10% pullback from a top of $110,600 wouldn’t be unusual. Technical charts show Bitcoin has swung 15% or more in past cycles. Retail investors tend to get nervous. And when they sell, prices can slip further in the short run. Long‑Term View Holds Strong Kiyosaki’s stance echoes that of other big holders. Michael Saylor, the former MicroStrategy CEO, has said people who hold Bitcoin for five years have a good shot at big gains. That view rests on Bitcoin’s supply limit of 21 million coins and growing demand around the world. According to market experts, buying on dips only works if prices recover. It also requires cash ready to deploy and nerves of steel. A deeper sell‑off could test anyone’s plan to add on weakness. Hold Or Fold? Kiyosaki’s headline message is clear: fear sells clicks, but it doesn’t have to dictate your move. If you believe in Bitcoin’s long‑term rise, small pullbacks might be the best times to buy. Whether that works out depends on where prices head next—and on each person’s comfort with risk. Featured image from The Jerusalem Post , chart from TradingView
With the second half of 2025 now underway, the cryptocurrency market is in a consolidation phase, led by Bitcoin ( BTC ), which is trying to establish support above the $110,000 level. In this environment, investors are possibly weighing which cryptocurrencies offer the best upside. Two tokens, XRP and Stellar ( XLM ), are emerging as notable contenders. Both are designed to enable fast, low-cost cross-border transactions, but they differ in their market positioning, use cases, and adoption strategies. To help determine which asset shows more promise for the remainder of the year, Finbold asked OpenAI’s ChatGPT for its insights. XRP As of July 6, 2025, XRP is trading at approximately $2.27, with a market capitalization of roughly $134 billion, placing it among the top-valued cryptocurrencies. XRP one-week price chart. Source: Finbold Backed by Ripple, ChatGPT noted that XRP has cemented a strong presence in the institutional financial sector, driven by integrations with banks, involvement in central bank digital currency (CBDC) projects, and its On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) services. XRP’s recent bullish momentum, according to ChatGPT, is supported by solid fundamentals, high liquidity, and increased regulatory clarity following Ripple’s partial legal victory against the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission. If market conditions remain favorable, the token could retest the $3 to $4 range, buoyed by its expanding institutional footprint. XLM Meanwhile, Stellar’s XLM is trading at approximately $0.244, with a market cap of about $7.4 billion. Although much smaller in scale than XRP, ChatGPT noted that XLM focuses on financial inclusion, peer-to-peer transfers, microtransactions, and remittances, primarily through its partnership with MoneyGram.

However, ChatGPT noted that the token has historically underperformed compared to XRP and remains less prominent in the institutional space. Its future growth will likely depend on Stellar’s ability to strike new partnerships and grow its ecosystem. The verdict Given the differences in scale, adoption, and investor sentiment, ChatGPT offered a clear conclusion: XRP stands out as the stronger buy for the second half of 2025. Ripple’s institutional reach, improving regulatory outlook, and deep exchange liquidity all contribute to a more stable, lower-risk investment profile. Still, for investors with a higher risk tolerance, ChatGPT acknowledged that XLM could serve as a speculative addition to a diversified portfolio, especially if market sentiment shifts or the Stellar network gains meaningful traction. Ultimately, while both assets aim to reshape global payments, ChatGPT’s analysis suggests that XRP is better positioned to deliver consistent returns in the months ahead.

Drake, a renowned rapper and Bitcoin enthusiast, has dropped a new single ahead of an album release with lyrics referring to the volatile nature of the cryptocurrency Bitcoin. The single is released at a time when Bitcoin’s future remains uncertain, particularly regarding regulatory support from the US government. It could very well reach an All-Time High (ATH) in the coming months. Drake’s new single addressed themes of betrayal, fake friends, and conflict. Drake released a new single titled “What did I miss” ahead of an upcoming album release. Bitcoin traders have taken a keen interest in the album due to its lyrics—the new single references Drake’s ongoing feud with rapper Kendrick Lamar. Drake refers to his conflict with Lamar as being similar to the price volatility of Bitcoin, which can fluctuate significantly from one day to the next. Drake is also a keen gambler and has been referred to as the ‘Drake Curse’ due to his unfortunate picks on UFC, NBA, among other high-profile sporting events. Blockwave, a Bitcoin hardware provider, predicted in 2022 that it would use data from previous innovations that scaled over time, such as automobiles, electricity, and the internet, to forecast Bitcoin adoption. Blockwave predicted that Bitcoin would hit 10% adoption by 2030, using the listed scalability models for technological innovation. It is estimated that Bitcoin currently has a global adoption rate of 4%, meaning that approximately 4% of the world’s population holds Bitcoin. Therefore, using a back-of-the-envelope analysis, we can safely assume that Bitcoin will double from 4% to 10%, which corresponds to a roughly 2x increase in adoption. This could lead to a 2x price increase from $100k to $200k if the scalability model of technological innovation holds. This forecast supports the Bitcoin traders who have been pointing to a $200,000 price target. Drake’s reference to Bitcoin’s volatility may be timely if the price continues to make large returns for crypto traders. Drake released the new single during a YouTube stream titled “ICEMAN EPISODE ONE,” where the Canadian rapper addressed the issue of betrayal and feuds. In the stream, Drake plays the character of a worker on his lunch break. The song is about a friend who has betrayed his trust. He describes this as being similar to the price of Bitcoin, which sometimes serves as an ally when the price rises, but then becomes a traitor when the price falls, leaving Drake with less money. He could be describing his relationships as being similar to gambling, with one moment being on top, and then being betrayed when he is down on his luck. His lyrics describe friends who once stood by his side and now hang out with people who are his enemies. He describes friendship like the price of Bitcoin, which can fluctuate without warning. Bitcoin has been a complicated asset to forecast, changing direction within the blink of an eye and causing much suffering for traders who speculate on margin. The ‘Drake Curse’ refers to the rapper’s history of taking large bets on the NBA and UFC. Drake has lost over $1 million in Bitcoin, betting on NBA games. Drake took a bet on the Dallas Mavericks taking the NBA title. He lost his $ 500,000 Bitcoin bet because the Boston Celtics beat the Mavericks. Within weeks of this failed bet, Drake bet another $500k on the Edmonton Oilers winning the NHL Cup. However, the Panthers beat the Oilers, adding another Loss to Drake’s gambling tally. Maybe Drake could release his gambling blockchain that gives all proceeds to a ‘0% admin fees’ charity such as GiveDirectly? This would transform Drake’s gambling losses into charity donations. The more he loses, the more he gives. The UFC has been of great interest to the Canadian rapper. His most notable loss was betting $450,000 on Israel Adesanya to defeat Dricus du Plessis in 2024. However, he has had some notable successes, such as betting on Alexander Volkanovski to beat Diego Lopes. This was a good bet because Volkanovski had experienced some major losses and appeared to be on the verge of retirement. However, recently, Drake bet on Oliveira beating Topuria, which cost him $ 200,000. Topuria achieved a knock-out in the first round, which would have been very disappointing for Drake to watch. Drake, therefore, has a lot of experience with Bitcoin and gambling, earning the title ‘Drake Curse’. The reference to Bitcoin in his latest song is a reflection of how cryptocurrencies have become a mainstream phenomenon, no longer a fringe movement.
A crypto strategist with a history of timely Bitcoin ( BTC ) calls believes that the digital asset market will flourish this month. Pseudonymous analyst Pentoshi tells his 868,800 followers on the social media platform X that he sees the crypto markets rallying this month amid a slew of bullish catalysts. “It’s the start of a new quarter and a new month. It’s also Jubilant July. I gotta say. I feel extremely refreshed for the first time in a long time with all the positives happening. Stablecoin legislation is moving forward. More rails are being connected with traditional finance, banks and consumers. Crypto will continue to grow as a focus in global markets. Let’s also not forget the fiscal and monetary tailwinds that are coming.” As for the fiscal tailwinds, the analyst says that the US is positioning to ease monetary policies to stimulate economic growth, while Bitcoin and US equities are in a strong uptrend. “If you’re bearish, consider this. The market has, for now, failed to prove a bullish bias to be incorrect. When there is FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt), it V reverses into new highs each time. No matter how extreme the FUD. Market structure is intact on high time frames. BTC and stocks are at or around all-time highs. The largest economy in the world is openly discussing outgrowing its debt by spending more. The largest economy in the world is openly discussing lowering interest rates, which in this instance would likely stoke both inflation/growth. If the market proves these ideas to be incorrect, then you can pivot. I see no reason to be bearish on markets with this in mind.” Turning to altcoins, Pentoshi says he’s keeping a close eye on the OTHERS chart, which tracks the total market capitalization of crypto, excluding the 10 largest digital assets and stablecoins. The analyst predicts that OTHERS will soar close to $400 billion, indicating massive upside potential for altcoins. “I do think many alts will likely cook for the next few weeks. Just feels like… sellers have run out of momentum. Many of them look better than they have in quite some time. I think you could essentially use last week’s lows as a point we shouldn’t lose on most of these… I think we see others play out something like drawn below.” Source: Pentoshi/X At time of writing, OTHERS is trading at $229 billion.

Bitcoin and most altcoins remained in a tight range last week, despite rising exchange-traded fund (ETF) inflows and top US indices, such as the Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500, reaching a record high. Bitcoin ( BTC ) rose above $110,000 for the first time in a month and then pared back those gains, ending the week at $108,000. The market capitalization of all coins ended the week at $3.30 trillion. Here are some of the top catalysts for Bitcoin and most altcoins. Tariff deadline The most important catalyst for the stock and crypto markets will be the end of President Donald Trump’s 90-day pause on tariffs, slated for July 9. The US has reached preliminary trade agreements with a few countries, including Vietnam, China, and the U.K. Other top trading partners — Canada, the European Union, Japan, and South Korea — may revert to the high tariffs he announced in April. A restart of his “retaliatory tariffs” will likely be bearish for Bitcoin, altcoins, and the stock market. For example, Bitcoin price plunged to $74,000 after the Liberation Day speech , and then bounced back after he announced the 90-day pause.

These minutes, for the May 6-7, 2025 meeting, will provide more information about the last meeting, in which officials left interest rates unchanged between 4.25% and 4.50%. The Fed minutes will provide hints on when officials expect to cut interest rates, which would be bullish for Bitcoin and altcoins. Still, the odds of a rate cut in July have decreased recently due to the strong nonfarm payrolls data. The data showed that the economy added over 147,000 jobs in June, while the unemployment rate dropped to 4.1%. Most traders anticipate the bank to cut rates in September if inflation data continues falling. Bitcoin price potential breakout The other key catalyst for Bitcoin and the crypto market will be the potential BTC breakout. The chart below shows that Bitcoin has remained below the all-time high of $111,900 in the past few weeks. BTC price chart | Source: crypto.news Bitcoin has also formed a bullish flag pattern, shown in black, and a cup-and-handle pattern. These two patterns often result in greater gains over time. Therefore, a breakout this week could push it to its all-time high, leading to further gains among altcoins. The other top catalysts in the crypto market include upcoming token unlocks by prominent altcoins such as Aptos ( APT ), Flare ( FLR ), and Ethereum Name Service.
