Russia's largest energy supplier Rosseti to launch cryptocurrency mining business
According to the Russian state news agency TASS, Russia's largest energy supplier Rosseti plans to launch a cryptocurrency mining business, allowing specific power supply centers to collaborate with Bitcoin mining companies. Rosseti stated that the company will act as the "operator coordinating the deployment of crypto mining infrastructure," focusing on "underutilized power supply centers." Rosseti's CEO Andrey Ryumin has written to Russian Prime Minister Mishustin seeking approval to coordinate the deployment of mining centers across regions. The company claims that crypto mining can not only improve the utilization of idle capacity but also increase grid load and tariff revenue, thereby promoting economic development and tax growth in Russia. Rosseti is exploring various tools to incentivize low-load power centers to participate in mining, including adopting special electricity pricing policies while leveraging the grid's load management capabilities to ensure reliable power supply.

Opinions
Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, reiterated on social media his prediction from his 2013 book, stating that February 2025 will see the largest stock market crash in history. He indicated that this crash will lead to significant funds flowing from the stock and bond markets into Bitcoin, gold, and silver. He predicts that Bitcoin will see substantial growth and advises investors to position themselves early in cryptocurrency and precious metal assets. He emphasized that even a small investment, such as one Satoshi, could yield significant returns. Kiyosaki views this crash as an opportunity for "discounted" assets while reminding investors to stay away from "fake assets." Previously, it was reported that the author of Rich Dad Poor Dad stated: buying one Satoshi of Bitcoin can also lead to wealth.

Matrixport: A 10% pullback in Bitcoin could be a strategic buying opportunity
Matrixport stated that since the bull market began at the end of 2022, Bitcoin has shown strong resilience, with 30-day price pullbacks rarely exceeding -10%, while monthly declines during bear markets often reach 30% or more. Last week, Bitcoin approached the -10% pullback level, which is typically seen as a consolidation bottom in this bull market. In contrast, the +40% surge in March and November 2024 is considered an opportunity for profit-taking. From the trend charts, Bitcoin is currently still in a bull market phase, and if the trend continues, a -10% pullback could be a strategic buying opportunity.
