Calling all crypto investors

ended 03. December 2025

For all you crypto investors, apologists, doubters and outright heretics…. Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies generally have had a seriously volatile couple of months, with the price of BTC down sharply since its early October high of over $126k. Meanwhile, Eric Trump's crypto mining business, Amercian Bitcoin (ABTC) went to the centre of the earth yesterday, shedding nearly 40% of its value in under an hour. Some ‘analysts’ have said crypto is in for a long and hard winter ahead. As everyone is an analyst in crypto, because it's a democratic and decentralised coin for everyone designed to dismantle fiat currencies and free us all from our neo-Rousseauian chains, send us your responses to these Qs ASAP. Oh, and also let us know if you're happy to be featured as a crypto investor case study in the media. Just add 'CASE STUDY' at the end of your responses. We will be writing this story TODAY so your thoughts by 09:30 PLEASE.

  • What the hell is happening in crypto right now?
  • Is now a good buying opportunity of BTC and other cryprocurrencies that have hit the deck?
  • Have you taken a hit? If so, are you worried or confident of a comeback?
  • Where do you expect BTC to be come the end of 2026 (yes, it's that time of the year)?
  • Any insights into ABTC in particular?

BE IN IT TO WIN IT.

Whether it’s Eric Trump’s mining business (ABTC) or the Melania and ‘Hawk Tuah’ tokens, the playbook is identical.

We are watching a conveyor belt of what investigative journalist Coffeezilla rightly exposes as engineered hype cycles. These assets, stock or coin, are often set up by the same shadowy insiders to enrich themselves while leaving retail investors holding the bag. The 40% crash isn't a glitch; it’s a correction of vapourware.

Is this a buying opportunity? Absolutely not. You aren't 'buying the dip'; you are providing exit liquidity for the architects of a scam. When the primary value proposition is a famous name rather than technical utility, gravity always wins.

BTC will survive until 2026, but the 'tourist capital' chasing celebrity names won't. Real wealth is built on utility, not viral moments. If you want to gamble on these projects, go to a casino, at least there they give you free drinks while you lose your money.

Bet on crypto and be prepared to lose your money. Unlike currencies or commodities, crypto isn’t driven by fundamentals or economics. Instead it’s momentum and herd mentality. This is a truly speculative asset class that no one knows whether it’s going up or down. A true gamble, that will leave half of investors worse off.

BTC will likely fall further as it enters is bear winter. History is showing us however that we are seeing higher lows as more institutional adoption and regulatory bodies start to hold the asset on their balance sheet.

Equally though the gains we saw in the bull market were lower than previous years, catching many off guard who weren’t quick enough to take profits and may now have to wait another 2 or 3 years to see BTC break its next all time high

Crypto’s latest plunge is simply another reminder that this is an asset class driven far more by sentiment and speculation than by fundamentals, so sharp swings—up or down—shouldn’t surprise anyone, despite supporters’ claims that it’s an alternative safe haven. Do not be misled: there is nothing inherently safe about crypto, and even less about the miners. On the bright side, there may be some respite ahead as the new UK retail crypto ETFs come online, but they’re likely to remain a small, niche market for more sophisticated investors and won’t be enough on their own to fundamentally shift the dial. As for forecasts—whether for Bitcoin or ABTC—crystal-ball gazing is entertaining, but who really knows; they could easily bounce back, as they have before, or this could just as easily be the end if speculators finally fall out of love with the new digital fool’s gold.

Crypto is doing as crypto does.

The depth of the book is relatively thin which means prices can move faster.

The issue I have with analysis of crypto is pretty much every time someone has said it's done, it's ended up higher a year later.

It's an extremely volatile asset class, yes has had the best risk adjusted returns out of any asset over the past 15 years.

The confusion with volatility and risk is the problem in this analysis. Just because something is volatile doesn't make it more risky.

By year end, I expect BTC to be hovering at around the 90-100k mark since I am bullish on liquidity roaring back as fund managers wish to 'window dress' in the last few weeks of the year (this applies to markets generally).

Years ago I was on a call with FTX, the crypto exchange, and one of the key members said 'yeah sometimes it goes up and sometimes it goes down', and that is the attitude to take with volatile assets - as long as you aren't using leverage!
