Outpoll Weekly Recap: Crypto (November 3 – 9, 2025)

4 hours ago7 min read1 comments

This week felt like a masterclass in Bitcoin reasserting its dominance while the altcoin circus provided the usual distractions. The real story wasn't the fleeting pumps on some DeFi tokens; it was Bitcoin's relentless grind upwards, smashing through key resistance levels as the 'digital gold' narrative crushed the weak hands and regulatory noise.While the crowd chased shiny objects in the NFT space or got excited about a minor protocol upgrade on a competing chain, the king was quietly fortifying its throne, with prediction markets sharply increasing the odds of a new all-time high before year's end. Let's be clear: the 'flippening' is a fantasy peddled by those who don't understand the fundamental, unbreakable network effects of the original cryptocurrency.The altcoin rallies we saw were nothing but speculative froth, a sideshow for gamblers who've forgotten that in this game, there is Bitcoin and then there is everything else. The data doesn't lie—inflows into Bitcoin ETFs continued to dwarf the entire market cap of most top-50 altcoins, a stark reminder of where the smart money is flowing. As the macroeconomic winds shift, it's Bitcoin's proven resilience and absolute scarcity that will separate the survivors from the relics, and this week was a powerful preview of that inevitable consolidation.
