Bitcoin is not just an investment asset, it's a global store of value.

[Olatundespo]

At one time Bitcoin was considered only as one of the investment method. El Salvador has legalized Bitcoin through legal tender and its President Nayib Bukele is moving forward with a far reaching plan to use Bitcoin as a strategic reserve in the future. The most powerful country in the world the United States has passed bills to store Bitcoin as a strategic reserve in some of their states.

Gold and foreign currency reserves are held as the Federal Reserve of most of the country in the world to reduce inflation and maintain the balance of wealth. While most countries show gold and foreign currency holding as reserves the United States is taking its large economy to a stronger position by considering fuel oil and crude oil as reserves. Some of the new states that will be joined the plan consider Bitcoin as a strategic reserve along with gold and other valuable assets.

Based on demand and the US decision many around the world have started the process of implementing their plans in the same way, resulting in it becoming a global store of value. The number of Bitcoin users is increasing day by day and the number of investors is increasing.

Yes, you are right, the concept of Bitcoin as a strategic reserve is gaining traction globally.
Those countries which you mentioned above knows the benefits which Bitcoin bestows especially if they are reserved, because it can help them when inflation arises, also serve them as an financial innovation.

It’s a great investment but I am disappointed in the performance of this bull run. We have barely done anything vs the 2021 cycle top when you factor in inflation. We are not even double that top. Self custody of your own money is what makes Bitcoin amazing & it’s decentralised nature by design. But as an asset where you are looking for big profits, is that now a thing of the past.

The US President signed a bill for the establishment of a Bitcoin reserve but I doubt if the country has bought a single Bitcoin. Only seized Bitcoin is in US custody. I am also aware that states like Texas, Arizona, and New Hampshire have signed the same bill but it has not been implemented.

Even before Trump became president, Bitcoin was already a globally recognized store of value. Bitcoin adoption will keep increasing without a US policy on Bitcoin reserve. The coin doesn't depend on politicians to become popular.

What a load of bullshit. El Salvador passed bitcoin as legal tender in September 2021 and had to remove that status in February this year due to pressure from the IMF. El Salvador's strategic bitcoin reserve is not a future possibility; it also began in September 2021 and continues to accumulate.

I believe that we haven't seen the highest peak of bitcoin price this circle. There's possibility that the price might reach $150k. The current dip in price is for us to accumulate more bitcoin and watch how the price will bounce back and make a pump of price higher than the current ATH.

What I have noticed is that, the top countries with the highest bitcoin holdings didn't buy these bitcoin but seized them people involved in illicit activities.

2021 ATH was around $68k+ and 2025 around 124k+. Calculating the percentage of ROI.

Code:

ATH_24_25 = 124496
ATH_21 = 68789
ATH_17 = 19764
print(f"potential ROI between (2024/2025 ATH) and (2021 ATH) - {((ATH_24_25-ATH_21)/ATH_21*100)}%")
print(f"potential ROI between (2021 ATH) and (2017 ATH) - {((ATH_21-ATH_17)/ATH_17*100)}%")
 
potential ROI between (2024/2025 ATH) and (2021 ATH) - 80.98242451554755%
potential ROI between (2021 ATH) and (2017 ATH) - 248.05201376239629%

** Process exited - Return Code: 0 **

The bull run performance underperformed to be honest, 248.05% ROI in 2017 against 80.98% in 2025. It is way below what investors truly expected. I don't know if the market has exhausted its bull run but we still stay positive hoping for another possible pump before the bear market decides to set in fully.

But if this is all the market has for us in this cycle then we still receive it with good hands besides  80.98% gain in 3.5 years is stronger than almost any possible profit that can be generated from our regular traditional market like stocks, real estate or  gold

That's still not bad. You know why? Because if they do buy bitcoin that would be great for us and increase the price and I would love that to happen, however if we have bitcoin not sold that also means price will not go down. I rather have them keep those seized bitcoins and not sell it, which is what they are doing. They have been known to sell some bitcoins before, and that is the most important part, and if they can do that, and should not be a big deal at all.

If we can arrange this, then we shouldn't be worried about it. I get that it is not that complicated, but it's also not impossible neither. Just stop selling, and suddenly we have bunch of bitcoin, kept long term, and not crashing the price. That is a lovely thought to me.

So according to you overall inflation is 100% since 2021? I guess they should put you in charge of global economies.

A lot of people in this section only post bullshit, it is starting to remind me of the gambling section.

Be grateful and patient.

Bitcoin has been bullish since 2023 till now , so it has been bullish for a while now but am not sure if the bullrun season has ended yet , because their are still chances that our new ATH may be around the price range of $150k or even more than if am being too optimistic. Yeah bitcoin being decentralized is one of its best feature  and it’s also one of the main reason is so powerful and unique too , Bitcoin serves as a store of value and a potential hedge against inflation.

[Jegileman]

Based on demand and the US decision many around the world have started the process of implementing their plans in the same way, resulting in it becoming a global store of value. The number of Bitcoin users is increasing day by day and the number of investors is increasing.

Bitcoin is a big asset to invest into now. When Nayib Bukele first took the first step to make bitcoin a legal tender in El-Salvador, it never made a lot of interest in the internet or the market reacting to that, but when the US government decided to do the same, the news spread everywhere so quickly that even the market reacted to it. That is the power of a developed nation over a developing one.

Bitcoin has long since after US announcement to use it as strategic reserve got more attention and people are now rushing to invest which has also helped in plummeting of the price to where it is today. It is a great thing to see the government exploring more ways to have Bitcoin as a store of value rather than just investment asset which big institutional investors use it for.

I agree with you. And in my opinion, bitcoin is indeed gradually gaining weight in the global economy all put together with its steady and increasing value over the years. What some people expected when bullrun was mentioned was to see a significant shoot in a very short period of time but that's not going to happen as bitcoin is Gradually gaining its greater value over the world's assets.  As of January 2023, bitcoin was within the range of 20k dollars but today bitcoin has risen well above 110,000 dollars and still counting, reason how much would have been made by anyone who took the smart move of investing since then till now. All I know is that the best time to always invest in bitcoin is now and not later because bitcoin is obviously promising and keeps hitting its target in the global market.

I'm impressed by this time bull run because it doesn't remain at the buttom whenever the price of Bitcoin falls drastically like it usually does in the past. The time it takes to bounce back to new ATH is not much as as it observe a little retracement before spiking, that's the nature of Bitcoin price action nowadays, it's easily predictable and not giving a heartbreak much when it falls.

The issue is that most of us Mis contradict the reason why bitcoin is being created and why is being introduced by satoshi

In a normal circumstances, bitcoin was created as a means of currency which can be used for buying and the selling of goods and services from One region to another region

But due to we failed of comprehend why bitcoin was created and why bitcoin was introduced we thought that the best thing we can do with Bitcoin is to be used as an investment option or to be used as an asset

But all this we are not of the primary obligation why it is being created, for me it is being created as a currency to be used Across The Nation for easy transaction process

But today we are seeing Bitcoin as a store value and we are seen it as only process where we can multiply our finance through investment that is not the major reason why it is being created from my own principles and theory.

[lornadane]

Bitcoin as a store of value makes sense long term, but we shouldn’t ignore volatility. Gold doesn’t swing like BTC does. For governments, that’s a big deal. I think Bitcoin complements gold, not replaces it. Anyone reading this should DYOR and not assume state adoption = guaranteed stability.

[lornadane]

I agree with OP tbh. People focusing only on price miss the bigger picture. Bitcoin’s fixed supply, decentralization, and censorship resistance are what make it a store of value. Short-term volatility doesn’t cancel out long-term fundamentals.
