# Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show - Week of December 2, 2025

Hey everyone, Crypto Willy here, and what a wild ride we've had this past week in the crypto space! If you've been following Bitcoin, you know we're experiencing some serious volatility that's keeping everyone on their toes.

Let's dive right in. Bitcoin kicked off December with a bang, though not exactly the kind we wanted. The crypto asset was bouncing all over the place early in the week, trading just around $85,000 after hitting a sharp reversal from its Black Friday peak above $92,000. That's a pretty gnarly swing in just a few days, folks. But here's where it gets interesting – by Tuesday, Bitcoin surged back above $91,000, mostly recovering from that brutal Sunday night and Monday morning plunge below $84,000. Talk about a comeback! The bulls are definitely showing some muscle here as support is building in that $80,000 to $85,000 range.

Now, on the price prediction front, technical analysts are forecasting Bitcoin could reach around $87,759 by December 4th, representing about a 2.08% increase from current levels. The Fear & Greed Index is sitting at 24, which signals extreme fear in the market – classic buying opportunity territory for the contrarians among us. Over the last 30 days, Bitcoin has only had 40% green days, so patience is definitely being tested right now.

But it's not all doom and gloom. Some massive regulatory wins just hit the scene. The Chicago-based exchange Bitnomial is about to switch on the first CFTC-regulated spot crypto venue in the US, with self-certified rules taking effect right now. This is huge because it legitimizes crypto trading in a way we haven't seen before in America. Meanwhile, the GENIUS Act is formalizing capital, liquidity, and diversification rules for payment stablecoin issuers, with Fed Governor Michelle Bowman confirming that new standards are being drafted alongside other banking agencies.

Speaking of legitimacy, Vanguard – one of the world's largest investment firms – is finally opening the door to crypto ETFs after years of resistance. That's a massive signal that institutional money is taking this space seriously. And in other partnership news, Ripple's latest collaboration is bringing XRP payments to Africa's largest market, expanding cryptocurrency adoption on a continental scale.

To put this all in perspective, Bitcoin's journey has been absolutely wild. Back in 2010, it was worth just a few cents. Fast forward to today, and we're looking at a 629,900% increase over 14 years. Even from just six years ago at $17,000, we've seen a 641% gain. That kind of upside potential is exactly why we stay engaged with this space.

So there you have it – regulatory breakthroughs, institutional adoption, and some seriously dynamic price action all converging at once. This is the stuff that gets us excited about the future of crypto.
