Financial Revolution in the U.S.: Why Polygon Could Make POL the Leading Payment Token

Bitcoin on the Path to $20 Million? Analyzing Michael Saylor's Forecast
Michael Saylor, one of the most prominent and consistent advocates of Bitcoin, has presented an extremely ambitious forecast for its value across different time horizons. According to his estimates, the Bitcoin price could reach $150,000 by the end of this year. In the longer term—within the next 4 to 8 years—he expects a surge to $1,000,000 per coin, representing a potential increase of more than tenfold compared to the current level. However, his most impressive long-term scenario predicts a Bitcoin price of $20,000,000 per unit within 20 years.

Donald Trump's administration harmed the crypto industry more than the Biden era📉
Cardano blockchain platform founder Charles Hoskinson stated in his speech that Donald Trump's administration caused more damage to the crypto industry than Joe Biden's presidency. He attributed this to the launch of TRUMP and MELANIA tokens, which, in his view, introduced a political dimension to the market, reduced investor confidence, and reinforced the perception of cryptocurrencies as a tool for political enrichment.
In the State Duma of the Russian Federation, a bill has been prepared according to which cryptocurrencies will no longer be subject to special financial regulation. In addition, the document provides for access to the cryptocurrency market for non-professional investors. This was reported by Anatoly Aksakov.
Bloomberg Terminal Switches to Bitcoin Price Format of $0.1M
The Bloomberg terminal has changed the price display format for Bitcoin: now it is shown as 0,1M (0.1 million dollars) instead of the previous 100000 (100,000 dollars).
This change carries an important underlying meaning:
1. Shift in perception perspective. Previously, Bitcoin was often perceived as an "expensive coin" — an entry of 100000 could subconsciously deter retail investors: they felt the asset was too expensive and "the train had already left." The new format 0,1M shifts the focus: institutional investors see not a "sky-high price," but "one-tenth of a million" — a perfectly normal size for a major asset.
11 years for 7.2 billion: the fraudster who almost became the queen of cryptocurrency👩🦰💰
Imagine this scene: a Chinese super-villainess-billionaire quietly strolls through the foggy streets of London... And behind her — a load of 61,000 BTC and 7.2 billion dollars, honestly 'collected' from 128,000 trusting citizens.
— How did you get caught?! — investigators shout. — Can't I just sit in London with all this 'cabbage'? — she shrugs. — You should've fled to a tropical island! Under the palms! In a bikini! — the officers sigh.
And here’s the finale of this epic saga: the trial, the solemn verdict — 11 years. Not life, not a quarter of a century, just eleven. Almost like a vacation, if you think about it.
— Just 11 years?! — the journalists gasp. — Maybe I’ll get out early for good behavior, — the defendant muses dreamily.
Now, drumroll! — the main question: where are the bitcoins? If 61,000 BTC are sleeping somewhere in a hidden stash and the state hasn’t caught them, then... well, you can just sit back. Calmly, comfortably. Many people won’t earn even a hundredth of that in their entire lives.
So maybe this isn’t a failure, but just... a long-term investment in personal relaxation. With a view of a prison wall.
Bitcoin for countries with inflation is the same as insulin for diabetes💎
In an interview with the PBD podcast, Michael Saylor, co-founder of Strategy, drew a vivid analogy: he compared Bitcoin's role in countries with high inflation to insulin's function in diabetes.
❗The essence of his argument:
1. Who it matters to. In countries where the national currency rapidly loses value (Saylor cited Nigeria as an example), Bitcoin goes beyond being a mere investment opportunity.
2. The function of Bitcoin. It becomes a survival tool — a way to maintain economic stability amid hyperinflation.
3. The insulin analogy. Saylor emphasizes that insulin is essential for people with type 1 diabetes: without it, the body cannot function. Similarly, in the context of a currency crisis, Bitcoin serves as the only 'antidote,' enabling people to preserve their 'economic energy' (i.e., purchasing power and capital).
Thus, according to Saylor, Bitcoin for residents of countries experiencing currency collapse is not a speculative asset, but a vital necessity, comparable in importance to a life-saving medication.
In the Russian Social Fund, they shared the most unusual questions from citizens in 2025 — many were curious whether pensions could be received in cryptocurrency and whether income from mining was taken into account when calculating social benefits.
