Estonian Banker Rain Lohmus made a savvy move in 2015, investing 75,000 USD in Ethereum's inaugural ICO and snagging 250,000 ETH. Fast forward to today, that stake is valued at a staggering 1.184 billion USD...
But here's the plot twist: Lohmus suffered a devastating wallet lockout, rendering his billion-dollar fortune inaccessible...
Picture this: logging into your crypto wallet, gazing at a 9-figure balance, and realizing you're locked out ā forever. The ultimate HODL nightmare! #eth #link #liquidpump #pumpswap
In 2021, Chainlink's LINK token skyrocketed to $55, but that was just the beginning. Back then, it lacked:
ā CCIP integration ā SWIFT connectivity ā Tokenized asset boom ā Gas fees paid in LINK ā JPMorgan, Deutsche Bank, and BNP Paribas adoption ā Stablecoin bill pushing TradFi on-chain
Fast forward to today: Chainlink has checked all these boxes and more! š„
Yesterday, Chainlink launched the Chainlink Reserve, a strategic on-chain reserve fueled by real-world revenue. Here's the game-changer:
ā Enterprises pay for Chainlink services in fiat/stablecoins ā Payment Abstraction converts revenue into LINK ā LINK is locked into the Reserve, supporting long-term growth
This means LINK isn't just the most adopted token in crypto; it's being quietly accumulated by TradFi giants. š¤«
And, Chainlink is on track to break its ATH on Google Trends! š
This is Bitcoinās weekly chart, showing historical halving events in (orange lines) and cycle tops (blue lines). The red line is the 50-week moving average - a key long-term trend indicator.
When BTC breaks above it from below, itās historically marked the start of a bull market.
When BTC breaks below it from above, it signals the start of a prolonged bear market.
Right now, the 50-week MA sits at $92,869. If BTC were to drop and close the weekly candle below this level, history suggests it would confirm a long-term trend reversal and the official start of a bear market.
Looking at past cycles:
āŖļøCycle 1: 364 days from halving to peak āŖļøCycle 2: 518 days from halving to peak āŖļøCycle 3: 546 days from halving to peak
The pattern is clear:
āŖļø Cycle tops tend to arrive about 1.5 years after the halving āŖļø Each cycle has stretched slightly longer than the last š
With the most recent halving in April 2024, repeating this pattern points to a likely cycle peak in October 2025 - giving us roughly 70 more days of potential bull market ahead.
BTC is now in its mid-to-late acceleration phase. If history rhymes, the final leg could deliver another +40% from current prices, putting a possible cycle peak in the $145K - $165K range before the BTC bear season kicks in. #bitcoin #liquidpump #pumpswap
