Bitcoin Gold hopes to change the paradigm around mining on the Bitcoin blockchain. According to the founders, the Bitcoin blockchain has become too centralized. Large companies with huge banks of mining computers now mine the vast majority of Bitcoin. For the founders of Bitcoin Gold, having large companies control the Bitcoin network defeats the purpose of a decentralized ledger and peer-to-peer currencies. In response, they’ve initialized the Bitcoin Gold project. It’s an alternate fork of the Bitcoin blockchain that implements changes that make mining more equitable. The goal of Bitcoin Gold is to create a network where anyone can become a miner with only basic hardware. As a result, Bitcoin Gold mining would be spread among many miners, instead of a few large companies.There have several features such as decentralization. Bitcoin Gold decentralizes mining by adopting a PoW algorithm, Equihash-BTG, which cannot be run on the specialty equipment used for Bitcoin mining (ASIC miners.) This gives ordinary users a fair opportunity to mine with common GPUs. Besides, there have fair distribution. Hard forking Bitcoin’s blockchain fairly and efficiently distributes 16.5 million BTG immediately to people all over the world who have interest in cryptos. Other methods, such as creating coins with a new genesis block, concentrate ownership within a small group. There also have a replay protection. To ensure the safety of the Bitcoin ecosystem, Bitcoin Gold has implemented full replay protection and unique wallet addresses, essential features that protect users and their coins from several kinds of accidents and malicious threats. Most new mineable cryptocurrencies involve ASIC-resistant hashing algorithms, and it’s becoming something of an industry standard to promote decentralization. In that respect, Bitcoin Gold holds a lot to be excited about. At its core, it’s about transitioning the Bitcoin network to more decentralized mining. However, as we saw above, there’s not much evidence that the current Bitcoin mining system is broken. There have been some small complaints, and it’s not ideal that the network is so centralized. Nevertheless, miners on Bitcoin have a lot to lose if they wield their power too aggressively. There are also new entrants to the Bitcoin mining community that are decentralizing control from a few key ASIC farms. The general consensus from Bitcoin experts is there’s not enough new in Bitcoin Gold to warrant an independent investment. While it certainly doesn’t hurt to hold onto your free BTG that you receive as a result of the fork (if you owned Bitcoin before Oct 24), wait until the dust settles before deciding whether to buy more."

Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has expanded its Bitcoin holdings with the purchase of 797 BTC, after spending approximately 13.8 billion yen, which is worth around $93 million. The company acquired Bitcoin at an average price of around $117,000 per unit. Aiming for “Escape Velocity” Following the latest acquisition, Metaplanet currently holds 16,352 BTC, equivalent to approximately $1.64 billion. It maintains its position as the world’s fifth-largest publicly traded corporate BTC holder, according to data shared by BitcoinTreasuries. The accumulation now comes just a week after the Tokyo-listed company purchased 2,205 BTC. The firm, which shifted from hotel operations to Bitcoin treasury management last year, has been accelerating its accumulation strategy amid rising institutional interest in crypto assets. Metaplanet has set an ambitious target to control over 210,000 BTC by 2027, which is around 1% of the total Bitcoin supply. Metaplanet had previously revealed its plans to leverage its growing Bitcoin reserves to acquire cash-generating businesses, even potentially including a digital bank in Japan. Last week, Gerovich told the Financial Times that the company is racing to accumulate as much BTC as possible, while describing it as a “Bitcoin gold rush” to reach “escape velocity” and maintain a lead over competitors. The exec also said that he would never sell the crypto asset. “We think of it as a Bitcoin gold rush. We need to accumulate as much Bitcoin as we can to get to a point where we have reached escape velocity, and it just makes it very difficult for others to catch up.” Metaplanet’s Ambitious Bitcoin Plan In its next phase, Metaplanet aims to use the crypto asset as collateral to access financing, similar to how securities or government bonds are used. The goal will be to deploy these funds to buy profitable businesses aligned with its strategy. While crypto-backed lending remains rare in traditional banking, experiments like Standard Chartered’s pilot with OKX suggest growing institutional interest. Gerovich ruled out issuing convertible debt to fund growth, preferring options like preferred shares to avoid repayment tied to volatile share prices. The firm said that it envisions digital banking services as a future area of expansion, and aims to deliver superior retail banking options in Japan using its BTC-backed leverage.

Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has purchased nearly $94 million worth of new BTC as Bitcoin once again tests all-time highs. The company announced the purchase of 797 Bitcoin at an average price of $117,451. Metaplanet Purchases 797 More BTC Following Bitcoin Bull “Another week, another purchase,” CEO Simon Gerovich said in a statement on the X platform on Monday. With this latest transaction, Metaplanet's total Bitcoin holdings reached 16,352 BTC, and its total investment value reached $1.64 billion. According to data platform bitcointreasuries.net, Metaplanet is the world's fifth-largest Bitcoin holder among publicly traded companies. Michael Saylor's Strategy topped the list with 597,325 BTC. Other top-ranked institutions include MARA, Twenty One, and Riot Platforms. Metaplanet attracted attention by exiting the hotel management business in 2023 and shifting to a fully Bitcoin-focused treasury strategy. Last month, the company announced its goal of holding 210,000 BTC by the end of 2027. In an interview with the Financial Times, CEO Gerovich stated that the company plans to acquire businesses that leverage BTC collateral to generate cash, but that these initiatives are still in the early stages. He emphasized that there's currently a “Bitcoin gold rush,” presenting an opportunity for the company to expand into areas like financial services. Metaplanet's revenue rose to 1.1 billion yen ($7.6 million) in the second quarter of the year, a 42.4% increase compared to the same period last year. Shares of the company rose 1% to 1,580 yen ($10.7) in Tokyo on Monday, suggesting investors are continuing to price in institutional interest in Bitcoin. Metaplanet's aggressive purchases demonstrate that institutional investors' interest in BTC continues to strengthen, and companies are positioning Bitcoin as a strategic asset on their balance sheets. *This is not investment advice.

Robert Kiyosaki, author of “Rich Dad Poor Dad,” a book on financial freedom and investing known for his famous book, “Rich Dad Poor Dad,” described Bitcoin surpassing $120,000 as a major gain for existing investors in a social media post. However, he emphasized that those who haven't yet invested are about to miss out on this opportunity. Robert Kiyosaki: “Bitcoin Exceeds $120,000, Those Who Don't Act Are Missing the Opportunity” Kiyosaki stated that he would buy another Bitcoin, but he wouldn't buy more until the global economy's direction became clearer. He also issued a warning to investors: “Those who are greedy often lose in the market.” Addressing those who haven't yet invested in Bitcoin, Kiyosaki emphasized that large sums of money aren't necessary to get started, saying, “You can even start with one Satoshi (0.00000001 BTC).” Encouraging small investors with this advice, Kiyosaki stated that gradual accumulation over time makes more sense. Kiyosaki also noted in his post that famed investor Warren Buffett currently has $350 billion in cash reserves. He believes Buffett is likely looking for opportunities to buy high-quality assets cheaply after a global market correction or crash. Robert Kiyosaki has long expressed his belief in decentralized or limited-supply assets like Bitcoin, gold, and silver. In the face of inflation, interest rates, and global debt crises, he advises investors to turn to instruments that “preserve the purchasing power of money.” These statements by Kiyosaki are considered both a warning and an opportunity message to individual investors at a time when Bitcoin is reaching new highs. *This is not investment advice.

Satoshi Nakamoto, the anonymous creator of Bitcoin, is the 11th richest man in the world. His fortune of 1.096 million BTC currently equates to $129.23 billion based on data from Arkham Intelligence. Although Forbes’s real-time billionaire tracker doesn’t officially include Satoshi Nakamoto, its data would place him in 11th position. In that spot, he’d surpass Michael Dell, whose net worth is $125.1 billion. Sergey Brin currently holds 10th place with $140.3 billion. In order for Satoshi Nakamoto to become the richest man in the world and take Elon Musk’s spot, the price of a single Bitcoin needs to be around $366,241. This will make his Bitcoin holdings of 1.095 million BTC equivalent to roughly $401.0 billion. To reach that valuation, each Bitcoin would need to rally by more than 180% from its present price. Analyst predicts Bitcoin at $400,000 Months ago, anonymous crypto trader apsk32 predicted that Bitcoin would hit the $400,000 price point. His prediction is based on a mathematical model of network growth. The analyst created a model that consists of three plots. The first plot shows historical gold prices in US dollars per ounce. The second plot shows Bitcoin’s market capitalization against the price of gold. Apsk32 stated that BTC is following the path of gold, which hit an all-time high of $3,500.05 per ounce. He explained that modeling Bitcoin’s price against the US dollar doesn’t make sense, as the Federal Reserve will continue to print money. Bitcoin’s gold normalized market cap based on power law. Source: apsk32 via X. The growth of Bitcoin’s market capitalization measured in gold ounces follows a straight line, which is clear in the top-left plot. This straight line suggests that Bitcoin follows a power law, aligning with Metcalfe’s Law of network growth. The analyst then calculated Bitcoin’s implied prices in US dollars based on BTC’s supply at every point in time and gold’s historical data. In the third plot, he created a log plot like Bitcoin’s famous Rainbow price chart, but added Bitcoin’s implied prices over the past 16 years. In terms of support bands, he added a blue band named “years-ahead.” The support bands “years-ahead” range from 0 through 5 years ahead of the underlying implied BTC price or power line. According to historical data, Bitcoin’s price has stayed below the five-years-ahead line, even during previous bubbles. This framework identifies realistic BTC price ranges and shows that, for this cycle, the one-year-ahead band lines up at around $400,000. Reaching that BTC price target would make Satoshi Nakamoto the richest person on Earth. In the past 7 days, Bitcoin has gained over 9.6%, jumping from $108,301 to its all-time high of $118,667 based on CoinGecko data. Currently, Bitcoin trades at $117,934 with a 24-hour trading volume of $19.8 billion. The crypto king has a market capitalization of $2.343 trillion with 19,891,615 coins in circulation.
