As gold inches closer to the $5,000 mark, investors are turning their attention to Bitcoin. Historically, when both assets rally, Bitcoin tends to outperform — and with gold making fresh highs, analysts believe Bitcoin could be next.
“21 million is 21 million.” That’s the message from Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, in a recent post on X. While he owns gold and silver mines, Kiyosaki emphasized that unlike metals, Bitcoin’s supply is permanently fixed at 21 million coins — no central bank or mining firm can produce more.
This scarcity, he argues, is what makes Bitcoin the most reliable hedge against inflation, monetary debasement, and global uncertainty.
“I can always mine more gold if prices rise,” he said, “but Bitcoin is locked forever.”
Gold surged to $3,500 in April before cooling to $3,237 as of May 5 — still a 33% gain YTD. Bitcoin, meanwhile, has remained flat with just a 0.82% rise this year. But this may be the calm before a breakout.
Crypto analyst Cryptollica points to historical patterns: from March 2020 to March 2022, gold rose 35.5%, while Bitcoin soared over 1,100%. If a similar trend plays out, BTC could rally to $155,000, especially if it breaks its current resistance range.
The upcoming U.S. Federal Reserve interest rate decision is another catalyst. Despite Donald Trump pushing for a rate cut, the CME FedWatch Tool shows a 97% probability the Fed will keep rates steady this week. However, if policy shifts in the second half of 2025, it could unleash a wave of liquidity — boosting both gold and Bitcoin.
Kiyosaki’s endorsement is more than just hype — it taps into Bitcoin’s core value proposition. If history repeats, Bitcoin may soon outshine gold in the race for store-of-value supremacy.

The Ethereum price chart shows that it could hit the $3,250 level, even though the cryptocurrency has not been performing well recently in relation to Bitcoin and other assets. This technical setup appears as on-chain data shows that big-time investors are buying more.
On-chain analysis platform Lookonchain has observed significant Ethereum accumulation by whale accounts despite ETH’s price woes. According to their data, a wallet identified as 0xd81E withdrew 1,900 ETH (worth approximately $3.1 million) from the Gate exchange just hours ago.
Whales are still accumulating $ETH.
0xd81E withdrew 1,900 $ETH($3.1M) from #Gateio again an hour ago.
Since Feb 15, this wallet has withdrawn 48,477 $ETH($100.35M) from #Gateio and is currently sitting on a $21M loss.Meanwhile, 0x3bd2 withdrew 2,600 $ETH($4.26M) from #Binance… pic.twitter.com/rCX1DAzlHk

This withdrawal appears to be part of a larger accumulation strategy, as the same address has withdrawn a total of 48,477 ETH (valued at $100.35 million) from the top crypto exchange since February 15. The wallet is currently sitting on an unrealized loss of around $21 million based on current prices.
In a separate transaction, Lookonchain reported that another whale address, 0x3bd2, withdrew 2,600 Ethereum (worth $4.26 million) from Binance after showing no activity for an entire year. This re-activation of inactive wallets to pull out ETH to personal wallets usually indicates optimism about future price appreciation.
But not all that has happened in the whales’ world is good. Analyst Ash Crypto mentioned in a tweet that one whale sold 2,056 ETH for $3.72 million and initiated a 10x leveraged short position in ETH. That shows conflicting sentiments from the large holders.
The Ethereum daily chart indicates a firm downtrend since late 2024, as ETH is registering lower highs and lower lows. Nevertheless, recent trade prices indicate a topping pattern can form. Analyst Crypto Fella has shared several key resistance levels now in focus for a possible recovery rally.

The chart identifies four major resistance zones that Ethereum would need to overcome to confirm a reversal. The first one is at approximately $1,750, followed by levels near $2,000, $2,500, and ultimately $3,250. These horizontal resistance bands represent previous support areas that have now flipped to resistance after being broken to the downside.
The analyst emphasized the importance of breaking the current resistance. He also stated that Ethereum price needs to break this resistance and mentioned that traders cannot ignore this opportunity. His analysis points to a potential target of $3,500 if a breakout occurs.
The technical setup shows a descending trendline that has contained price action since December 2024. A decisive break above this trendline, combined with reclaiming the $1,750 level, would provide the first technical confirmation of a trend change.
Despite the mixed analysis by several analysts, an analyst had predicted the Most Hated Rally for Ethereum earlier this month.

Changpeng Zhao (CZ) has proposed a significant change involving gas fees for transactions on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC), sparking community interest.
Users who transact on the Binance Smart Chain pay a BSC gas fee, with CZ now calling for a significant reduction to the standing rate.
Any user who has ever transacted on the Binance Smart Chain has undoubtedly paid a BSC gas fee. It refers to the transaction fees required to process transactions on the BSC network.
The gas fees are paid in BNB, the powering token for the Binance ecosystem, and the native crypto of Binance Smart Chain.
Data on BscScan, the blockchain explorer that tracks transactions on the BNB Smart Chain, shows gas fees at 1 Gwei as of this writing.
Meanwhile, data on Bitbond shows gas fees of 1.3 Gwei or $0.017 for a 15-second fast transaction speed.
Users looking for normal speeds of up to one minute pay 1.1 Gwei or $0.014 in gas fees. Slow transactions of up to three minutes require a gas fee of 1.0 Gwei or $0.013.
Still, there have been times when BSC gas fees jumped, adding up quickly for arbitrage traders.
Notably, the amount of gas fees required for a transaction depends on the complexity, size, and network congestion at the time of the transaction.
Binance founder and former CEO Changpeng Zhao wants the rate revised, sharing the proposal in a post on X (Twitter).
“Let’s reduce BSC gas fees? by 3x, 10x?,” CZ posed.
Notably, BSC gas fees are generally lower than on the Ethereum network. This makes BSC popular for decentralized applications (dApps) and transactions.
“Hey CZ, much appreciated, but as I use BSC chain most of the time, I have rarely felt that I’m paying any fee, like it’s too minor sometimes free,” one user remarked.
While CZ considers reducing BSC gas fees, he remains cognizant of the challenges of low gas fees. Against this backdrop, he refuted suggestions for zero gas fees.
CZ cites the role of validators and builders, who maintain network integrity and security by processing transactions, preventing double-spending, and ensuring trustless operations.
“Lots of spam, and also need to consider validators and builders,” CZ challenged.
The absence of gas fees would overwhelm the network due to a lack of cost deterrence, a common issue in blockchain systems.
To some, however, the adjustment would be a game-changer, benefiting decentralized finance (DeFi) and gaming, among other sectors. Others advocate for continued BNB burns for ecosystem growth.
“BNB burning from fees is good for BNB growth. No need to reduce,” another user wrote.
Meanwhile, it is worth mentioning that lower BSC gas fees could draw significant volume and activity. Recently, Tron founder Justin Sun advocated for lowering the costs, hoping to attract more traffic to the Tron blockchain.
“IMO, lowering fees and raising the energy cap won’t hurt TRON’s profitability. The fee cut should drive transactions to 20 M+ daily in three months, expanding market share and boosting profits. More energy will also encourage TRX staking for free transfers,” Sun stated.
He also spearheaded energy cap adjustments and reduced SunPump gas fees by 50%, lowering transaction costs to encourage greater user adoption.
Amidst these efforts, TRON’s revenue surged to record highs, placing it first among all blockchains at the time.
