The year 2025 is about to come to a close. Looking back at this year, Bitcoin has not only left a profound mark on the price curve but has also moved to the core narrative stage of great power competition and asset allocation.
Bitcoin.com News recently reviewed the top ten most discussed Bitcoin posts on Twitter in 2025. These posts clearly record Bitcoin's formal entry into the mainstream world, obtaining its "ticket" to the narrative, from debates on value logic to the games of policy implementation, and to the achievement of mainstream consensus, accumulating tens of millions of clicks, with influential figures including tech giants, political figures, crypto leaders, and investment moguls.
Musk: Bitcoin is Based on Unforgeable Energy
Views: 8.3 million
On October 14, the American financial blog Zerohedge stated, "Artificial intelligence has become the new global arms race, and capital expenditure will ultimately be borne by the government. If you want to understand why the prices of gold, silver, and Bitcoin have skyrocketed, it is because governments around the world are printing money in large quantities to support this AI race, leading to currency devaluation. Has anyone calculated how many nuclear power plants the U.S. needs to build by 2028 to power all these daily 'self-indulgent' AI transactions?"
In response, Musk commented, "This is why Bitcoin is based on energy: you can issue fake fiat currency, every government in history has done this, but energy cannot be forged."
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang recently expressed a similar view. He believes, "Bitcoin is a new form of currency made from surplus energy that can be carried and transported anywhere."
From a technical perspective, the proof-of-work (PoW) mechanism used by Bitcoin does indeed require a large amount of electricity, logically similar to the physical process of gold mining. This design ensures that Bitcoin's supply cannot be arbitrarily inflated like central bank money printing, theoretically giving it strong anti-inflation properties. This high energy consumption characteristic has also sparked serious environmental controversies, including Musk himself publicly criticizing Bitcoin's carbon footprint, which even led Tesla to suspend Bitcoin payments in 2021. However, the industry is actively exploring and laying out renewable energy solutions such as solar and hydro power. It is worth noting that not all PoW mechanism cryptocurrencies hold equal value; Bitcoin's unique status stems more from global consensus, making it a form of digital gold.
In contrast, traditional fiat currencies are mired in a global debt crisis. Many countries are expanding money supply through central bank bond purchases, leading to currency devaluation. For example, hyperinflation in Zimbabwe and Venezuela has forced people to turn to cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and stablecoins to maintain their daily lives. This trend is exacerbating the trust crisis in traditional currency systems and promoting the rise of crypto assets as safe-haven assets and hedging tools.
Eric Trump: Now is a Good Time to Buy Bitcoin
Views: 6.29 million
On February 6, Eric Trump, the second son of Donald Trump, posted on X that now is a good time to buy Bitcoin.
In terms of returns, at that time, Bitcoin's price was around $96,000. In the following months, Bitcoin began a strong upward trend, soaring to a historical peak of $125,000, with significant phase returns outperforming most traditional financial assets.
In terms of influence, Eric Trump's statement not only reflects his personal investment view but also represents the overall perspective of the Trump family to some extent. In recent years, the family has deepened its involvement in the crypto industry, from public statements and capital participation to policy positions, subtly pushing crypto assets into a more mainstream discussion framework.
In multiple public statements, Eric Trump has stated that Bitcoin has become the strongest asset of this era, believing it has advantages over traditional hard assets like real estate, and has repeatedly emphasized a long-term investment strategy of buying on dips. Additionally, Eric Trump has indicated that he does not rule out the possibility of running for U.S. president in the future, but is not yet ready to provide a clear answer.
CZ: U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Plan Basically Confirmed
Views: 4.29 million
On January 23, U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis announced her role as chair of the Senate Banking Committee's Digital Assets Subcommittee, to which CZ commented that the U.S. strategic Bitcoin reserve has basically been confirmed. Cryptocurrency is advancing at a rapid pace once again.
Just 42 days later, on March 6, President Trump officially signed an executive order to include Bitcoin in the U.S. strategic reserves. As of now, the U.S. government holds approximately 328,000 Bitcoins, maintaining the top position globally in government-held amounts, with these assets primarily sourced from seizures in criminal and civil cases by the judicial department.
Brian Armstrong: Firmly Bullish on Bitcoin
Views: 1.74 million
On October 31, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong stated, "Coinbase is firmly bullish on Bitcoin. We increased our holdings by 2,772 BTC in the third quarter and are still continuing to accumulate."
In fact, Coinbase had initially considered emulating Strategy's aggressive strategy, planning to allocate 80% of its balance sheet to Bitcoin, but ultimately abandoned it due to concerns over cash flow risks. Nevertheless, by the end of the third quarter, Coinbase's total Bitcoin holdings had reached 14,548 BTC, with a market value of approximately $1.28 billion. More than half of this share comes from this year's accumulation, which has successfully placed Coinbase as the eighth largest Bitcoin reserve company globally.
The core logic behind this continued investment is that Coinbase views Bitcoin as a tool that can effectively constrain inflation and debt crises, serving a similar hedging role as gold, and supports Bitcoin as a national strategic reserve asset.
Cynthia Lummis: Calls for Upgrading U.S. Reserves with Bitcoin
Views: 1.58 million
In February of this year, the audit of the U.S. gold reserves sparked controversy. On February 17, Senator Cynthia Lummis proposed in response to Musk's suggestion of "reviewing the U.S. gold reserves annually," stating, "Bitcoin can solve this problem well. A basic computer can audit Bitcoin reserves anytime, anywhere. It is time to upgrade our reserves."
As the chair of the Senate Banking Committee's Digital Assets Subcommittee, Lummis is not only the proposer of the reserve plan but has also long participated in legislative work on crypto regulation at the congressional level, advocating for the establishment of a regulatory framework for digital assets. As early as 2024, Lummis proposed a Bitcoin strategic reserve plan and firmly believes that a Bitcoin strategic reserve is the only solution to offset U.S. debt, a vision that has now officially materialized. However, this crypto-friendly senator will leave office after her term ends in 2027.
Chamath Palihapitiya: Suggested Allocating 1% of Personal Assets to Bitcoin 13 Years Ago
Views: 910,000
On July 26, Silicon Valley venture capitalist and billionaire Chamath Palihapitiya referenced a video of his speech from 13 years ago at the TechCrunch Disrupt conference, stating, "Thirteen years ago, around the time this video was filmed, I published a commentary in Bloomberg, suggesting that everyone in the world allocate 1% of their net worth to Bitcoin. At that time, Bitcoin was only $80."
In this early video, Chamath Palihapitiya described Bitcoin as the "red pill," using the concept from "The Matrix" to metaphorically suggest that we are entering a completely unknown world. He revealed that he holds Bitcoin in both his fund and personal accounts, considering it a tremendous investment because Bitcoin is a far superior store of value compared to gold, calling it "Gold 2.0." He also predicted that Bitcoin would become a better store of value in the next 3 to 5 years, especially in countries with currency pressures like Russia, Iran, Venezuela, and Argentina, where it would be widely used. Subsequently, Bitcoin could become a payment mechanism. The opportunity to invest in Bitcoin is enormous, involving trillions of dollars in potential value, with the key being to try and understand this opportunity.
In fact, this well-known Bitcoin evangelist from Silicon Valley has maintained a highly consistent stance over the years. He has publicly stated that he purchased 1 million BTC at $80 each, predicting that Bitcoin could reach $200,000 and potentially become one of the most important inflation-hedging assets in the next 50 to 100 years.
Looking back today, whether it is Bitcoin's marginal breakthrough in the global financial system, its gradual application as a non-sovereign store of value in high-inflation countries, or the price trends of Bitcoin, all to varying degrees confirm Chamath Palihapitiya's early judgments.
Jack Dorsey: Calls for Tax Exemption on Small Bitcoin Payments
Views: 860,000
On October 9, Twitter founder Jack Dorsey's payment company Square launched a Bitcoin wallet solution, enabling local businesses to accept BTC payments with zero fees, currently supporting the automatic conversion of up to 50% of merchants' daily card sales into Bitcoin, building a diversified investment strategy. At the same time, Square announced it would launch Bitcoin payment functionality. Subsequently, Dorsey posted, "We need to establish a small tax exemption policy for everyday Bitcoin transactions."
As a well-known Bitcoin advocate, Dorsey has consistently emphasized that Bitcoin is not just a cryptocurrency but a currency, and it will fail if not used for everyday payments. On November 19, Dorsey's company Block initiated the "Bitcoin is Everyday Money" initiative, calling for U.S. legislation to establish a tax exemption threshold for Bitcoin payments under $600, simplifying the tax burden on everyday small transactions.
Michael Saylor: Bitcoin's Volatility is Vitality
Views: 490,000
On November 27, Strategy founder Michael Saylor released a CoinDesk interview video on X. At the time of the interview, Bitcoin's price had fallen to nearly $80,000, and Strategy's stock price had also dropped nearly 70% from a year ago.
In the interview, Saylor discussed his views on market volatility, future trends, and the market sentiment of the day. He stated, "Bitcoin's volatility is its vitality; it is a characteristic, not a flaw. If you choose to hold Bitcoin, investors should have at least a 4-year time horizon; if investing in a treasury company like Strategy, a 4-10 year long-term view is needed." Saylor emphasized that if Bitcoin did not have volatility, it would not be high-performing, and the company would have no value. Volatility is a gift from Satoshi to believers; we can harness it to push civilization forward.
Although Bitcoin's price recovery has been limited, Strategy continues to express its long-termism stance through actual actions of continuous accumulation. In the past month, Strategy has purchased over 22,000 Bitcoins and has clearly stated that it will continue to increase its holdings in the future.
Scottie Pippen: Bitcoin's Current Market Value is Just the Beginning
Views: 480,000
On October 18, NBA legend Scottie Pippen made bullish comments about Bitcoin, stating, "Bitcoin, this is just the beginning." At that time, Bitcoin's price was around $10,700.
This is not Pippen's first public discussion about Bitcoin. Last year, he made a surprising statement on the show "Making Money," claiming that he personally met Satoshi Nakamoto in 1993 and mentioned that he "has a story to tell" about that interaction. At the time, he wasn't given an explanation; otherwise, he would definitely be ahead of many now. Like most people, he started late and only began to truly understand Bitcoin last year when its price was around $33,000. Since then, he has started to seriously study the entire cryptocurrency world, trying to learn a bit more about it.
Although these comments may seem somewhat "abstract," this retired star athlete is a real participant in the crypto market and a public figure with influence, having expressed a positive attitude towards Bitcoin multiple times through public statements, which also indicates that Bitcoin is increasingly being accepted by the mainstream world.
Anthony Pompliano: Bitcoin's Victory Comes from Minimal Human Intervention
Views: 60,000
On August 21, venture capitalist and Bitcoin advocate Anthony Pompliano stated that Bitcoin wins because it has the least human intervention. It is the first automated asset in the digital world.
Pompliano is a staunch supporter of Bitcoin and a representative figure of the Bitcoin standard. He clearly pointed out at the end of 2020 that Bitcoin is the biggest winner in the current macro environment and still firmly believes that Bitcoin is the king of crypto assets and a free market solution for wealth protection. As early as July of last year, Pompliano predicted that the U.S. would incorporate Bitcoin into its national balance sheet or strategic reserves within the next 10 to 15 years, and a few months ago, he stated that the U.S. would start purchasing cryptocurrencies at some point.
