it is july 1st and the first half of 2025 is done. now all the news outlets have one headline and it's BITCOIN. news websites are now discussing what happened in the first half of the year. i am seeing articles (i.e
Crypto Losses Surge 125% in 2025 First Half to $2.47 Billion) about how the crypto industry suffered huge losses from the first year from hacks, scams and just altcoins not delivering as expected. despite all this, one consistent thing that everyone can agree on is how bitcoin has remained the most profitable cryptocurrency in the first half of the year and most likely in the second part as well.
headlines such as:
Bitcoin Carried Crypto Markets in 2025's First Half as Altcoins Crumbled are spreading as report suggests that crypto market has increased by 3% but seems to be all thanks to bitcoin. even then, people are still hoping for an altcoin season. anyway, bitcoin gaining 13% as said in the article and popular altcoins declining shows how strong bitcoin has been and sets a good precedent for what is about to come in the second half of the year.
will you continue to trust bitcoin in the next six months as well? because i sure will.
This is a normal state of affairs for the crypto market, while Bitcoin is growing, altcoins will remain in its shadow. And only after Bitcoin reaches its high and liquidity begins to flow into altcoins, only after that will altcoins begin to grow. But in this cycle, altcoins are especially difficult, despite the bull market, they are looking for a new bottom, of course, this does not apply to everyone, but most of the market is going through its most difficult times.
And at this time, Bitcoin shows that it remains the undisputed
No. #1 in the crypto market, so whoever focused on Bitcoin, or at least kept most of the portfolio in Bitcoin, received a good reward for this. And for the other half of the year, two scenarios are possible, either Bitcoin will continue to grow and then altcoins will be left without a large influx of liquidity, or liquidity will flow into altcoins and we will see an altseason. I think that in order to understand what will happen next, it is worth waiting until autumn, but for now Bitcoin feels very good even in the summer.
