Wang Feng, the founder of Blueport Interactive, expressed his views on gold prices and the future of Bitcoin, believing that a breakthrough of gold prices above $4400 indicates humanity's return to the golden age, with scarcity becoming a consensus. He warned that under the cold war and conflicts among major powers, artificial intelligence will drive currency devaluation, and the future price of Bitcoin will exceed imagination, calling for patience in waiting.

As the crypto market continues to expand, the surge in the number of tokens is changing the logic of capital allocation. On one hand, the market's high saturation weakens the scarcity of individual tokens, making speculative capital more easily attracted by short-term narratives, and memecoins frequently become the focus, but their fundamentals often struggle to support long-term value. On the other hand, a new direction is rapidly taking shape—artificial intelligence tokens are gradually moving towards the core of the crypto market. In the current environment, some analysts refer to 2026 as the "Year of Artificial Intelligence Tokens." This judgment is not without basis. With the rapid implementation of artificial intelligence in the United States and globally, capital is gradually shifting from high-volatility, low-fundamental assets to AI crypto projects that have real application scenarios. Artificial intelligence tokens are no longer just conceptual narratives, but a direct embodiment of the combination of crypto assets and cutting-edge technology.

Gold and silver hit new highs, why hasn't Bitcoin followed suit? The crypto market may face a "lagging response period"; 3. Bridgewater founder Ray Dalio discusses Bitcoin again: scarcity does not equal Central Bank reserves, gold remains the preferred hard asset.

Billionaire investor and founder of Bridgewater Associates, Ray Dalio, recently expressed a cautious attitude towards the role of Bitcoin in the global financial system. He pointed out that although Bitcoin has scarcity and certain "monetary properties," it is not suitable as an official reserve asset from the perspective of Central Bank asset allocation and reserve management. In a recent interview, Dalio described Bitcoin as a "spiritual currency." He acknowledged that Bitcoin has a fixed supply, is decentralized, and is widely regarded as a digital currency, but these features are not enough for Central Banks to include it on their balance sheets. Dalio believes that Central Banks are more concerned with the security, stability, and controllability of assets, which are precisely the shortcomings of Bitcoin.

PANews reported on October 5 that due to a severe inflation rate of 229%, USDT traded through Binance P2P in Venezuela has effectively become the currency in daily commercial activities, serving as both a unit of account and a settlement tool. In order to avoid frequent price fluctuations caused by the continuous depreciation of the bolívar, local merchants generally anchor commodity prices to the real-time USD exchange rate on Binance P2P for settlement. Due to the scarcity of physical USD, USDT based on the TRC-20 network has replaced cash thanks to its low transaction fees and convenience, becoming the preferred choice for households and small to medium-sized enterprises for daily small transfers, achieving a de facto dollarization driven by stablecoins.

David Duong, the research director at Coinbase, pointed out that the Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) is entering a highly competitive PvP stage, where success relies on execution and differentiation, rather than mere replication.

ChainCatcher news, analyst PlanB posted on the X platform stating, "The market capitalization of gold is about 20 trillion dollars and the market capitalization of Bitcoin is about 2 trillion dollars. Therefore, the value of gold is 10 times that of Bitcoin." The scarcity of gold (stock-to-flow ratio) is about 60, while the scarcity of Bitcoin is about 120. Therefore, the scarcity of Bitcoin is twice that of gold. I believe Bitcoin is at least undervalued by a factor of 10.

Recent studies show that although Bitcoin has the characteristics of scarcity and decentralization, it cannot yet fully replace gold as a store of value. Its high fluctuation makes it behave more like a speculative asset, lacking the stability and historical resilience of gold. Currently, the relationship between the two is more complementary.

The price movement of Bitcoin is influenced by global liquidity and corporate leverage, which may either hit a high point of $150,000 (+23%) or fall to $45,000 (-63%). Bullish factors include the global Central Bank interest rate cuts, the Spot Bitcoin ETF attracting funds for 12 consecutive weeks (with weekly inflows exceeding $1 billion), and the scarcity caused by the four-year Halving (with a daily output of only 450 coins); bearish risks stem from the inflation rebound potentially triggered by Trump’s tariff policies, a strengthening dollar, and a chain liquidation of leveraged companies. Analysts suggest that long-term holders need to endure potential Fluctuation, and Russian investors should follow the impact of the ruble Exchange Rate on Crypto Assets.

Bitcoin today (11) surged to 118,400 USD, setting a new historical high.

On Crypto Twitter (CT), there seems to be a standard script for the success of new projects in how they "soar to great heights": accumulate millions of followers, engage in crazy participatory marketing, gain support from top venture capitalists, and create extreme scarcity during token issuance. However, these revered success rules seem utterly unconvincing in the face of cold data. A recent research report ruthlessly reveals that the "wealth secrets" praised by crypto KOLs are actually four major illusions that mislead the public. When these glamorous appearances are ruthlessly debunked by data, can your wallet remain unscathed?

Gate exchange's latest GT burn data has reached a historical high, with a cumulative burn amount exceeding 100 million coins, accounting for 33.33% of the total supply.

From the explosive growth of human knowledge triggered by the information revolution in the 20th century to the current era of information overload and attention scarcity, the core resource of humanity continues to shift. Nobel laureate Herbert Simon foresaw the concept of "attention economy" as early as 1971, believing that "the abundance of information leads to scarcity of attention." In today's world of Web2.0, filled with a massive amount of content, our attention has become a scarce resource, while the true attention creators—users and content creators—often serve merely as "free fuel" for the platform's monetization.

According to research by 10x Research, Bitcoin is facing three major factors that may lead it to reach $116,000 in July, including strong Spot ETF inflows, uncertainty from The Federal Reserve (FED), and a decrease in supply.

The total supply of Bitcoin is set at 21 million coins, with design considerations including scarcity, divisibility, and technical limitations. Bitcoin controls its supply through a Halving mechanism, and each Halving event can potentially affect the price movement. However, over time, the impact of Halving events may diminish, and market fluctuations are influenced more by other factors. The unique supply design and economic model of Bitcoin hold significant importance in the digital asset space.

BTC, as the first Crypto Asset serving the people, has a market capitalization of over $2 trillion, but currently lacks practical applications to attract new users, with no other use cases besides value storage; ETH, as a trusted and neutral internet-native value storage tool, supports various developer platforms covering a range of application scenarios, attracting new users and enhancing scarcity. At present, BTC and ETH are the only two viable options.
