Bitcoin rose 50% in 45 days from April into May, before reaching a new all- 
time-high just shy of $112K. Since then, it’s fallen 6%, sitting now right at 
$105K. Was the ATH a rare surge, and have Bitcoin’s fundamentals returned to 
something more pessimistic? Or is this a temporary pullback with strong 
support underneath? Evidence points more to the latter, especially with news 
that Bitcoin miners in Nigeria are addressing one of the longest-standing 
objections to crypto. And that could set Bitcoin, and the Bitcoin meme coin 
BTC Bull token, up for big moves in the weeks to come. Bitcoin Goes Green in 
Nigeria, Answers Longstanding Criticism Nigerian startup Green Flare aims to 
take environmentally-damaging natural gas flares (burn-offs) and turn them 
into Bitcoin. Specifically, they’ll use the energy generated by burning off 
the natural gas to power large-scale Bitcoin mining operations. Once the 
three-stage project is completed, it will generate 53MW of energy for Bitcoin 
mining rigs. Burning off gas from oil production is a leading producer of 
greenhouse gases, including methane. And Nigeria ranks in the top 10 for gas 
flaring emissions, accounting for 75% of global flaring, according to World 
Bank&#8217;s 2023 data. At the same time, producing Bitcoin required so much energy 
that, in 2023, total global Bitcoin mining operations would have ranked 27th 
in the world in energy consumption. According to the same UN report, 66% of 
the energy used to mine Bitcoin came from fossil fuels. In light of this data, 
Green Flare’s plan makes perfect sense. Offsetting Bitcoin’s emissions 
footprint by capturing and using energy that would otherwise have been wasted? 
A great plan, if we&#8217;ve ever seen one Two of the three sites should be live by 
Q4 of 2025. The investment shows the increasing maturity of the crypto and 
Bitcoin economies. Despite Pullback, Bitcoin Remains ‘Structurally Strong’ 
According to the experts at Bitfinex, Bitcoin is undergoing its first 
meaningful correction since the April lows, cooling off after a relentless 50 
percent surge that took the asset from $74,501 to a new All-Time High of 
$111,880. The current pullback reflects a change in tempo, following nearly 50 
days of uninterrupted upside marked by minimal retracements. —Bitfinex, 
Bitfinex Alpha The pullback is more than a technical correction; the ‘TACO’ 
phenomenon – for ‘Trump Always Chickens Out – continues to keep tariffs and 
the trade economy in a state of uncertainty and volatility. That impacts 
Bitcoin directly and indirectly. More disposable income encourages retail 
traders, while higher Treasury rates often cause risk-adverse investors to 
shift towards T-bills and away from Bitcoin. But despite the external and 
internal factors leading to the correction, Bitfinex reports: We believe 
Bitcoin remains structurally strong. This correction appears to be a healthy 
reset rather than a breakdown —Bitfinex, Bitfinex Alpha Trump’s TACO moves 
might be a sign of instability, or galaxy-brained chess moves; either way, 
Bitcoin looks strong beneath the surface, and poised for future growth. When 
it does head back up, will it take BTC Bull Token with it? BTC Bull Token

According to a recent video by angel investor and crypto influencer Armando 
Pantoja, many XRP holders feel stuck as rival coins keep climbing. He pointed 
out that focusing only on getting XRP to $10,000 misses the point. Instead, he 
urged people to look at returns and real uses. This shift in perspective could 
change how investors see the token’s potential. Related Reading: Pepe Makes It 
To Trump’s Feed—Is A Crypto Endorsement Next? Emphasis On ROI Based on 
reports, Pantoja noted that wanting XRP at $10,000 is unrealistic. He said you 
can get the same gains without waiting for that sky-high price. For example, 
Bitcoin would need to hit over $300,000 to triple your stake if you bought it 
at today’s levels. But XRP only needs to reach about $8 from its current 
trading price near $2.30 to yield the same ROI. That’s a big gap. If you 
bought XRP at $2.30, a move to $8 feels more achievable—for some, at least. 
While Bitcoin’s market cap towers over others, XRP’s total value is around 7% 
of that of Bitcoin’s. This smaller size means it could swing more on positive 
news. Should I sell all my $XRP for $BTC Just got back from

(@_TallGuyTycoon) May 30, 2025 Comparing Market Caps And Gains Bitcoin 
recently touched a new all-time high near $112,000. Meanwhile, XRP held around 
$2.30 in value. Investors pointed to this gap as proof that XRP had no 
momentum. But Pantoja reminded his audience that XRP climbed over 300% over 
the past year, while Bitcoin rose by 50% over the same period. Those figures 
show that past performance for XRP has outpaced Bitcoin’s in percentage terms. 
This is based on reports that track prices from June last year to now. Still, 
the wider market’s focus tends to follow Bitcoin’s chart. When BTC booms, 
altcoins often run too. But sometimes they trail behind or fall back harder. 
XRP’s Payment Use Case Based on reports around its network, XRP stands out for 
speed and cost. It can settle a payment in a matter of seconds and handle up 
to 1,500 transactions per second. That’s fast, especially when compared to the 
SWIFT network used by banks. Fees are low enough that moving funds across 
borders can cost mere pennies. Pantoja said this real-world utility is more 
valuable than hype. He urged investors to think about banks or money-service 
companies adopting XRP for cross-border transfers. Such adoption could drive 
demand more than price rumors ever will. Related Reading: Bitcoin Maxi Max
