You forgot the biggest point, fam. Bitcoin's performance this year is pretty disappointing for a post-halving year. It’s lost ground to gold, which we thought wouldn’t happen! Really makes you question the previous narratives.

Tariff wars were a huge factor too. The crypto market reacted to Trump’s whims like crazy. Every random tariff announcement seemed to shake things up, and it was kinda disturbing.

AI hype is another mixed bag. So many unprofitable AI companies inflated expectations and there’s now a memory chip shortage. Plus, AI is flooding content creation, which might lead to decline in creative jobs.

Yeah, 2025 has been a mess with all kinds of global events. Trump's back in office and his new tariff policies could start a trade war. Inflation might spike again, which could push us toward a recession.

Seriously though, AI is improving so fast. Everything online feels less unique now. And don’t forget about crypto projects that are jumping on the AI bandwagon.

Bitcoin hit $126k. That’s impressive and shouldn’t be overlooked, even if some argue the market hasn’t been great overall this year. It’s confusing with mixed economic reports from the IMF and World Bank.

Looking back might not help us much. Trump’s presidency affected Bitcoin, but the past is the past. We should focus on moving forward and learning from what happened.

Man, it feels like ages since Trump’s inauguration. That moment sent Bitcoin spiking to $100k. Good times... but then tariffs hit, and it was a rollercoaster after that.

I still think Bitcoin can catch up to gold eventually, but not as fast as everyone hopes. Long term is key. Gold has shown steady growth, but Bitcoin has potential.

Trump’s tariffs really shook things up this year. I honestly didn’t think he’d go through with them at first. But he’s serious about it. Surprising how other countries are handling it.

Wait, Bitcoin shot up to $125k this year? How can you say it didn’t perform? That’s massive growth! From under $50k to that? People grind for years for those kinds of returns elsewhere.

Yeah, I thought Bitcoin would skyrocket post-halving too. Speculations were wild, but look where we are... This cycle is definitely going to be a memorable discussion for years.

We’ve hit historic milestones with Bitcoin, but signs point to a bear market soon. Time to save up for new investments before the next low, especially since we’re still feeling the effects of the pandemic.

This is like a movie, right? Trump back, AI going nuts, gold and Bitcoin rising together. Feels like a serious shift in the system. Everything’s pointing towards real assets.

Totally! It felt like we were day-trading Trump’s tweets. His random tariff announcements made the market jump all over the place. But yeah, the real trend is everybody buying Bitcoin as a reserve now.
