“Phishing was the most costly attack vector last year,” a CertiK spokesperson told Cointelegraph. “Our figures are conservative, the actual figure is higher when you consider unreported incidents and other types of phishing scams like pig butchering.”

Jack Mallers, founder and CEO of Strike, believes Trump has the “potential to use a day-one executive order to purchase Bitcoin” although he cautioned that it would not equate to a 1 million Bitcoin purchase.

So far, Trump’s team has not directly confirmed the claims about an executive order, but Trump was asked on CNBC if the US would create a BTC Reserve similar to its oil reserve (which could mean legislation) and he answered, “Yes, I think so.”

An executive order, however, would lack stability, as subsequent presidents often reverse such orders. The only way to ensure the long term future of a strategic Bitcoin reserve would be with legislation with majority support.

Trump’s actions to date certainly suggest a favorable administration going ahead. He’s nominated pro-crypto and pro-deregulation Paul Atkins as chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commison after Gary Gensler stepped down.

During the 2013-2014 bull run, the supercycle theory was supported by the theory that Bitcoin would gain international interest as an alternative asset to fiat currencies.

However, in each cycle, the supercycle narrative was not fulfilled ending in a price crash that wiped out proponents as it entered a prolonged bear market.

Su Zhu, co-founder of Three Arrows Capital, was the most notable proponent of the Supercycle Thesis from 2021, arguing that crypto markets would remain in a bull market without a sustained bear market, with Bitcoin eventually peaking at $5 million.
