An ‘Out There’ Idea for 2025

As 2024 comes to a close, all eyes are on what opportunities 2025 will throw up. My answer? The same one I gave in 2017, 2018, 2019…and every year since! Namely, Bitcoin.

For the first time ever, we have real institutional money coming in via the new Bitcoin spot ETFs.

For the first time ever, we also have a pro-Bitcoin US President in charge too…well, we will when Trump’s takes office on 20 January 2025.

And when I explain why Trump’s election is such a big deal you might start to agree with me and realise that this time is very different from previous cycles.

All Eyes on 20th January

With Trump’s win, the game has changed for one Bitcoin. Recent regulatory filings show big buyers are starting to come in en-masse.

In fact, I think we’re at an inflection point where a new Supercycle begins. And January 20th is the key date to watch
