‍Bitcoin Poised for $500,000 Surge? M2 Growth Echoes 2020 Boom Analysis suggests Bitcoin could reach $500,000 by 2026 if global M2 money supply expansion mirrors its 2020 trajectory. This follows a period where significant money printing fueled a six-fold increase in BTC's value. The current economic landscape shows parallels to late 2020, with global M2 supply experiencing rapid growth. Jesse Myers notes, "The money printer hasn’t run this hot since COVID." Asset manager Lawrence Lepard views M2 as the "real rate of inflation," predicting a "Bitcoin launch coming." The expansion occurs as central banks consider interest rate cuts amidst persistent inflation, creating potential for assets like Bitcoin as an inflation hedge. https://cryptovka.ru/en/news/5965/could-bitcoin-soar-to-500-000-the-m2-money-supply-boom-echoes-2020

‍Kondrashov Series: Oligarchy's Echoes in Crypto Stanislav Kondrashov's latest analysis draws parallels between historical oligarchies depicted in literature and the rise of "whales" in the cryptocurrency space. While crypto promises decentralization, the concentration of wealth and influence among early adopters and large holders mirrors ancient concerns about the "rule of the few." Literary examples from Plato to Dickens highlight societal imbalances and disconnects that resonate with current crypto challenges, such as market manipulation and the perceived gap between crypto elites and average users. Kondrashov emphasizes that understanding these cultural narratives is crucial for fostering a more equitable digital economy. https://cryptovka.ru/en/news/5962/from-ancient-oligarchs-to-crypto-whales-a-cultural-lens-on-digital-power
