【BiTi】2025 will be a watershed year for the cryptocurrency industry as it transitions from intense volatility to institutionalization. Looking back on this year, Bitcoin’s annual volatility reached 63%, ending the year down 8%, which is indeed underwhelming—by comparison, gold rose 53% and Nvidia increased 30% during the same period, highlighting a clear gap.
Even though Bitcoin once hit a historical high of $126,000, it still revealed vulnerabilities under sustained inflationary pressure. Especially during the “1011 crash,” which directly dragged down the year’s performance. The impact of macroeconomic factors was more severe than expected.
From this annual report, the core advice for investors is one sentence: prioritize allocation to compliant and transparent assets. Geopolitical risks, hacking incidents—these are no longer low-probability events but normalized threats. Instead of chasing uncertain high returns, it’s better to put risk control first.

63% volatility, is this even called investing? Might as well just gamble.

63% volatility? Damn, I went all in directly. Now I’m just waiting for the moment of reversal.
Gold rose 53%, Nvidia up 30%, Bitcoin down 8%? That’s the price I pay for choosing to believe in myself rather than macro factors.
Compliance and transparency? Sounds like they’re advising me to wash my hands and get out of the game. Not interested.
I didn’t escape the 1011 wave. Now it all depends on how the on-chain data plays out in 2025. Risk control? I’ll talk about that after I go bankrupt.
Geopolitical risks and hacker incidents becoming normal? I’ve been used to it. Over the years, I’ve stepped on more pits in crypto than you’ve eaten meals.

63% volatility... As I always say, that's just how the crypto world is. It’s exciting, but no one can truly predict it.

63% volatility, yet gold has only increased by 53%... This comparison is a bit painful.
However, compliance and transparency are easy to talk about, but actually implementing them is extremely difficult.

63% volatility, an 8% annual decline—how can anyone still call this a bull market?

Gold has risen by 53%, while Bitcoin has fallen by 8%. The gap is truly remarkable... We still have to honestly comply with regulated assets.

Smiling and then crying, 63% volatility really is a knife-mouthed but soft-hearted person.

Gold rose 53%, I only gained -8%, is this called benchmarking learning? Haha.
---
On October 11th, I realized that risk control > dreams. Now I’ve truly learned.
---
Is geopolitical risk and hacker incidents becoming normalized? Then should I insure my wallet first?
---
Regulatory-compliant transparent assets, to put it nicely, are just honest and laid-back work.
---
Back when it was 126,000, how many people were shouting about reaching 200,000 by the end of the month? And now?
---
Instead of chasing high returns, it’s better to live well. I’ve realized that, everyone.

A 63% volatility is accurate, but when Bitcoin drops 8%, why does no one say that gold will also decline?

63% volatility? This move really underperformed; gold and Nvidia crushed it.
