We are just a few weeks from the half way point of this year and what an awful year it has been so far.

Many say Bitcoin is doing well, and it is to some degree but the price is currently less than it was 5 months ago , so it’s maintained its level, nothing special.

Alts on the other hand , which I am mainly in unfortunately, have been wrecked with some down around 75% from their highs during the pump we saw end of last year.  Thanks to a few winners I picked up last year my portfolio is still in the green though.

Just as when I thought things might start being ok for June with the good news on the CPI data the other day, I now wake up to all this FUD with Israel and Iran war going on and the markets are tanking yet again, some of my altcoins down 15/20% from where they were just 48 hours ago.

War is awful, and the tariffs have put everything on a back foot this year but I can’t help but think it’s just an excuse for all this market manipulation to keep prices low.

I had hoped we might see a decent June before the typical boring summer but not even sure if we will get that now, may just have to wait till Q4 once the summer is done which is usually a good time for crypto.

I am just holding for now, not buying or selling , if we fall another 10% then I will buy more. What is everyone else doing and what do we think is left in store for rest of 2025?

Many are saying the top is in for Bitcoin but that can’t be it surely? I’ve seen predictions ranging from $160-200k this year, are we still thinking that? Or is 2025 really the start of a long bear market ..
