TD₿: Why Are People Ignoring the HUGE Bitcoin Opportunity in 2025? - (a Swan Signal Live segment) with Hurley, John Haar, Steven Lubka and Brandon Quittem
TL;DR: Bitcoin’s fundamentals are stronger than ever: rising M2, soaring hash rate, the U.S. gearing up to accumulate, and the Bitcoin Act gaining traction.
Hey Bitcoiners,
In today’s video, we ponder why despite strong fundamentals—rising M2 liquidity, massive Bitcoin buys by Strategy and Bo Hines, and growing U.S. government interest in acquiring BTC—Bitcoin’s price has barely moved.
Though officials have repeatedly signaled plans for budget-neutral BTC accumulation, markets remain skeptical. Many investors simply don’t believe the U.S. will follow through, despite executive orders and credible insiders confirming the proposals.
Bitcoin's price is also weighed down by its correlation to traditional markets. As a liquid, volatile asset, it's often sold during broader market pullbacks. While its reputation as a long-term store of value is growing, most investors still treat it as speculative. Over time, nation-state adoption and institutional accumulation could shift that perception—and Bitcoin may begin to trade more like a true safe haven.
