The Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show podcast.
Hey there, crypto enthusiasts! This is Crypto Willy bringing you the hottest updates from the past week in the digital currency world.
Bitcoin has been on an absolute tear! After a V-shaped recovery that saw it jump from 82K in late March to 94K by the end of April, Bitcoin is now sitting pretty at a whopping 104K as of today, May 13th, 2025. Plan B, one of our favorite analysts, pointed out this recovery is a clear bull market sign, though we're still far from his stock-to-flow model's 500K average prediction for the 2024-2028 halving cycle. But hey, we're only one year into this cycle with three more to go!
The fundamentals remain incredibly strong – Bitcoin is twice as scarce as gold but still valued at just a tenth of gold's market cap, making it super undervalued according to many experts. When prices dipped to 82K in March, some were calling for a bear market, but the on-chain analysis didn't show any distribution phase that typically signals the end of a bull run.
Meanwhile, Ethereum's growth trajectory is giving new hope to the broader cryptocurrency market. Increased institutional adoption is driving this upward momentum, which is fantastic news for all of us hodlers.
If you're looking to diversify your portfolio this May, the latest market data puts Bitcoin at the top with a market cap of $2.03 trillion, followed by Ethereum at $296.15 billion with a price of $2,453. BNB is holding strong at $648, while Solana sits at $173. XRP has had an impressive run, now at $2.52 with a market cap of $147.84 billion. And don't forget our favorite meme coins – Dogecoin is trading at $0.22 and Shiba Inu at $0.00001559.
Cardano deserves a mention too, though it's still facing adoption challenges compared to Ethereum and has some centralization concerns that keep popping up in community discussions.
In the AI-meets-blockchain department, Lightchain AI is making waves with a booming presale that's attracting significant attention from investors looking for the next big thing.
Remember, we're in a really interesting phase of this bull cycle – institutional money is flowing in, regulatory landscapes are clarifying, and mainstream adoption continues to grow. The technical indicators suggest we might see even more upside in the coming weeks, but as always, don't invest what you can't afford to lose.
That's all for this week's roundup! This is Crypto Willy signing off – stay bullish, my friends, and I'll catch you next week with more crypto insights!
