Bitcoin’s earliest realistic path to becoming the world’s global reserve currency (defined here as reserve-currency primacy rather than limited reserve-asset adoption) sits around the mid-2040s under a scenario model that treats official mandates, collateral usage, and invoicing conventions as binding constraints.That timeline starts from a reserve system where total global foreign-exchange reserves reached $12.94 trillion in 2025’s second quarter and the U.S. dollar still accounted for 56.32% of allocated reserves.The same IMF series shows why a decade-scale flip is hard to model with high confidence, even under fast private adoption. The denominator is large, and changes slowly.In 2025Q1, the IMF…

Bitcoin regret is coming for anyone ignoring Coinbase CEO’s 5% rule as banks fight to cap gains

Both used “5%” as their anchor. Neither meant the same thing.The post-ETF era didn’t just mainstream Bitcoin ownership, it turned position sizing into the new battleground. Financial advisors, wealth managers, and compliance officers now treat roughly 5% as a responsible ceiling for a volatile satellite holding.Meanwhile, crypto executives are trying…

It’s an outlook mirrored across the altcoin ecosystem as Bitcoin struggles below…
