Streamex Unleashes Gold-Tokenization Strategy Poised to Shake Global Markets and Redefine NASDAQ

Fifteen years ago today, Satoshi Nakamoto typed out a short, almost casual 
statement on a Bitcoin forum that would end up sounding prophetic: “The 
utility of the exchange made possible by Bitcoin will far exceed the cost of 
electricity used. Therefore, not having Bitcoin would be net waste.” Related

Analyst Says It traded for a mere $0.07 at the time — Aug. 7, 2010 — and 
largely among a small group of early adopters. It could be mined on a desktop 
computer. Today, Bitcoin exchanges near $117,000, after reaching a high this 
year of $123,000. The token is no longer an esoteric experiment by an unknown 
programmer but the linchpin of a $2.3 trillion crypto space that has 
captivated retail investors, Wall Street, even government. #SatoshiNakamoto on

Forum Post To Strategic Reserves Cryptanalyst Crypto Rand went back to the 
pioneering post by Satoshi Nakamoto this week, illustrating how the idea has 
come to pass in real time. As many wondered back then whether or not Bitcoin 
would ever be able to warrant its energy consumption footprints, today the 
demand has expanded beyond the individual level to institutions — even 
nations. The United States is said to be compiling a Strategic Bitcoin 
Reserve, an idea which would’ve been absurd back in the year 2010 but today 
sounds like the next course of the asset within the world of global finance. 
Macro Moves Meet Satoshi’s Vision Bitcoin’s price action this week offers a 
real-time example of how it’s now influenced by the same forces as gold, 
bonds, and other macro assets. The Bank of England just cut interest rates by 
25 basis points to 4.00% — its second cut this year — in a bid to steer 
inflation toward its 2% target. The move sparked a rally across crypto, 
pushing BTC back to $117,000 and lifting Ethereum (and other altcoins as well) 
to nearly $3,900. According to the argument made by Satoshi, the utility of 
bitcoin is no longer simply about peer-to-peer transactions. It has developed 
into a liquid, universally recognized store of value responding to central 
bank action, investor sentiment, and geopolitics. Related Reading: Bitcoin

Balancing Act Ahead Nevertheless, volatility has not gone away. Tariff plans 
by Trump and slower-than-projected cuts by US interest rates have deflated 
some of the air from Bitcoin&#8217;s previous highs, demonstrating that even in 
2025, macro headwinds can tumble it down sharply. Yet on a scale compared to 
2010, it is mind-boggling — from cents to six figures, from a forum message to 
central bank monitoring screens. Fifteen years later, the comment by Satoshi 
on electricity and utility doesn’t come across as prophecy alone — it comes 
across as challenge. And so far, Bitcoin has seemed determined to prove him 
right. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView
