Dean: More Than Just an Underdog 🐶
Fine, I’ll admit it: I love an underdog story!
There’s just something magnetic about the odds being stacked against the protagonist . . . their back against the wall . . . and obstacles mounting at every turn.
And yet, against all odds, they prevail!
Looking at the global economy, that’s essentially the story of Bitcoin USD (BTC-USD).
Born out of response to the 2008 financial crisis, it was created as a direct response to the mismanagement of economies.
But its path to notoriety wasn’t an easy one . . .
BTC was pronounced dead hundreds — if not thousands — of times by mainstream media:
But before the reporters can finish the eulogy, BTC springs back like:
And for good reason!
Whether you’re a BTC bull or skeptic, these four catalysts make a strong case for why it deserves a spot in your portfolio.
(The last catalyst is my favorite! 🧡)
Catalyst #1: Trade War 🪖
If you’re keeping up with the news or checking your portfolio, you know that a global trade war is unfolding.
With President Trump pivoting as quickly as he announces tariff news, it’s hard to say which sectors will be winners of this phenomenon.
However, gold is already emerging as a clear victor:
We’ve been able to ride this wave as well in our Platinum Tier options portfolio.

Unlike most sectors, gold benefits from chaos in the markets, especially the fiat currency market.
With no end in sight for the trade war and deglobalization, gold could be in high demand for some time.
The same can be said for BTC, as it’s often regarded as digital gold!
As gold surges, BTC could see increased demand as a gold proxy.
In fact, BTC is arguably better suited than gold as a hedge against volatility in the fiat currency market.
Catalyst #2: Scarcity Drives Demand 💹
That’s because BTC is much scarcer than gold.
New gold will be discovered today, tomorrow — and likely the day after that.
New BTC? Nope!
Only 21 million BTC will ever exist — and of that total supply, 94% was already issued:
BTC also benefits from an event called the halving, where the number of BTC added to circulation daily dwindles by 50% every four years.
In other words, after the next halving, only 225 BTC will be added to circulation daily, compared to the current 450.
This event further contributes to the scarcity of BTC.
That’s phenomenal, especially considering . . .
Catalyst #3: Big Buyers 🤑
Big buyers are accumulating BTC.
Strategy Incorporated (Nasdaq: MSTR) — previously known as MicroStrategy but now rebranded as Strategy B — purchased $285 million worth of BTC.
It now owns 531,644 BTC, representing 2.5% of the entire supply and 2.6% of the supply in circulation.
Just yesterday, BlackRock bought 455 BTC, while total U.S. ETFs bought a total of 878.
That same day, Semler Scientific Inc. (Nasdaq: SMLR) announced that it’s raising $500 million to purchase more BTC.
The acquisition race is on — with no signs of slowing anytime soon!
As BTC is bid higher, the crypto market could enter a state of euphoria as big companies raise more funds to buy it.
Speaking of debt . . .
Catalyst #4: Rate Cuts ✂️
Whether it was Trump’s Art of the Deal approach or economic necessity, one thing’s clear: The Fed is ready to cut rates.
As rates fall, companies will access more favorable borrowing opportunities.
This is good news for finite assets like BTC.
But BTC enjoys an additional tailwind as more money is printed to facilitate quantitative easing (QE).
Remember, BTC’s supply is forever capped.
As a result, it could become more attractive when the value of the dollar decreases as fiat is printed during QE.
Blink & You’ll Miss It 👀
Right now, all eyes are on BTC’s sharp 25% drop from its peak. Retail investors aren’t focused on what’s unfolding globally and in the U.S.
This is a great setup for BTC to rocket, as this lull allows long-term investors to build positions.
As BTC takes off, altcoins could rocket hundreds of percent.
In this environment, we’ll also locate opportunities to make leveraged bets on the crypto market.

#GBC100: Wednesday, April 16, 2025
The #GBC100 is down 0.95% today.
Created on September 22, 2022, the #GBC100 is an index/portfolio comprised of opportunity, growth, innovation, and crypto-related investments.
Our goals with the #GBC100 are twofold . . .
First, we want readers to get a sense of what our investments are doing in the market, because they can sometimes perform very differently than traditional indices (like the S&P 500 or Nasdaq 100).
Second, we’d like to eventually turn the #GBC100 into an ETF.
That way, instead of owning hundreds of growth stocks, you can get exposure to ATG Digital thinking — in opportunity, growth, innovation, and crypto — all in one place.
