4 hours ago7 min read

This week, the crypto market was a masterclass in Bitcoin's undeniable supremacy, a stark reminder that while altcoins flash and fizzle, the king remains on its throne. The entire narrative was dominated by Bitcoin's surge past the $90,000 mark, a move that felt less like a rally and more like a gravitational pull, dragging the rest of the market in its wake.As the institutional money flowed into spot BTC ETFs, it became painfully clear that the 'flippening' is a fantasy peddled by those who don't understand digital gold's core value proposition: absolute scarcity and unbreakable security. Meanwhile, the altcoin circus provided the usual distractions.Ethereum struggled to maintain momentum, its gas fees and governance debates looking more like bureaucratic baggage next to Bitcoin's elegant simplicity. Prediction markets, ever the crystal ball for crowd sentiment, went into overdrive, with traders heavily betting on Bitcoin not just holding these gains but aggressively targeting the $100,000 psychological barrier before year-end.The chatter around potential ETF approvals in new jurisdictions only added fuel to this fire, creating a feedback loop of bullish conviction. Let the DeFi degens play with their leveraged farm tokens and the NFT crowd obsess over their pixelated punks; this week proved, yet again, that in the high-stakes game of crypto, there is only one asset that truly matters.The noise is just that—noise. The signal is Bitcoin.
