In the financial world, the first quarter of 2025 has been like the old Disney ride, Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride, where you never know what the next turn will bring.
The chart below shows Bitcoin bouncing like a fast-dribbling basketball trying to escape a full-court press.
If the chart was a heart monitor, it went from a high cardio workout to sleep mode.
You will notice that the Dow Jones averages for the same period look similar. The point is that 2025 began filled with high hopes and quickly settled back to market uncertainty.
There is enough blame to go around the world a few times, but the financial markets reflect global uncertainty.
Polymarket bettors cite economic uncertainty and global tensions as the reason for the 51% chance that Bitcoin will end last week between $81K and $87K.
As of this writing, it sat around $85K.
Crypto’s Exchange-Traded Funds (ETF) are showing the same pattern, with February’s outflows (selling) erasing January’s inflows (buying).
Bitcoin saw more positive inflows in March than Ethereum, but the numbers are not staggering ($11M).
What is Bitcoin’s future?
Despite the (less-than) encouraging news surrounding Q1 (first-quarter) 2025, Bitcoin’s future is bright.
Trump’s Executive Order establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve is a significant reason digital asset’s gold shines.
Blockhead Research Network (a digital assets-focused media platform) sees a bullish outlook despite Q1 figures.
To begin, the order put Bitcoin on the radar of every nation worldwide, which means some form of digital asset strategy will result.
This alone will create long-term support. However, the Executive Order also establishes a “budget-neutral” strategy for acquiring more Bitcoin.
“The Secretaries of Treasury and Commerce are authorized to develop budget-neutral strategies for acquiring additional bitcoin, provided that those strategies impose no incremental costs on American taxpayers.”
Bo Hines (Trump’s Executive Director of Digital Assets) says the U.S. government wants to acquire as much Bitcoin as it can, which is in keeping with America’s status as the world’s Bitcoin capital.
Matthew Sigel (Head of digital research at VanEck) listed six ways the U.S. government could meet the budget-neutral requirement.
Three of them caught my attention
Bitcoin-backed bonds
“Another option is for the government to create and sell “Bitcoin-backed bonds.” Investors would buy these bonds, and a portion of the money raised would go toward purchasing BTC. When the bonds mature, the government could repay investors either in Bitcoin or U.S. dollars, offering a flexible investment opportunity.”

The Exchange Stabilization Fund
“The Exchange Stabilization Fund (ESF), controlled by the U.S. Treasury, is used to manage foreign exchange reserves and stabilize the dollar. VanEck’s final proposal is for the Treasury to use this fund to buy and hold Bitcoin. Since the ESF operates outside the normal budget process, this method would offer a more flexible approach to BTC accumulation.”

The surplus cheese stockpile
“The U.S. government holds large stockpiles of surplus cheese. VanEck suggests selling off these reserves and using the proceeds to buy Bitcoin. Since this involves selling existing assets rather than increasing spending, it wouldn’t impact the federal budget deficit. At the same time, it would help the government manage its excess inventory more efficiently.”

I find the third option humorous because I had no idea that the U.S. government stockpiled cheese. It raises two questions: Why and what else does it stockpile?
What is Bitcoin’s future?
Bitcoin and the Cryptoverse remain on solid ground to flourish. Trump’s executive order accomplished at least two long-term strategies: the U.S. government will buy Bitcoin, and Bitcoin will be sought globally.
The recent market scare proves that investors are skeptical and cautious — as they should be.
Bitcoin and the Cryptoverse are not immune to market scares but tend to recover faster than traditional markets.
The key to success is a solid investment strategy. If you are worried about losing money, set an exit strategy for the slightest drop in price and buy when the prices move higher.
Playing it safe can give you some peace of mind.
If you believe the long-term sentiment of Bitcoin, buy the dip (even if you can only afford a small amount) and hodl (hold on for dear life).
I use This Bitcoin strategy because I believe in the long-term value.
The Bitcoin quote of the day
“When Bitcoin is at $200k — We will look back on March 2025 and say, how was everyone not buying. It was so obvious.”

How it impacts everyday people
The Cryptoverse will impact humanity, which means change is coming and will affect you.
It will take educating yourself and a willingness to change, but it will help everyday people find a better life once it is embraced.
It is part of the future global economic landscape and must be something you are familiar with.
Education is critical, and intelligent investing is paramount for everyday people to navigate these bumpy roads.
I am putting together a series of courses to help educate you about the world of Crypto and give you a path to financial freedom.
The thought of change often scares everyday people back into old, comfortable living patterns. There is nothing comfortable about being uncomfortable.
However, IF change is to occur, you must weigh the length of your uncomfortableness against the lifetime of enjoyment.
In other words, is it worth the temporary discomfort to avoid a lifetime of complacency and lack?
If your answer is YES, you can follow along and learn how to make a change by being educated in the cryptoverse.
I am committed to the cryptoverse, which offers a path to help you change and find financial freedom.
Disclaimer: I am not a financial planner and do not offer financial advice. I am an avid student of the cryptoverse who is willing to make the things I learn available to everyday people eager to take a chance, change, and explore your financial freedom in the cryptoverse.
