Bitcoin’s tango begins with indifference and ends with overflowing greed.
For retailers, this is the time to act with long -term strategy and vision.
In 1935, Carlos Gardel and Alfredo Pera composed “his eyes closed”, a tango in which the personal tragedy – the death of the beloved woman – contrasts with the indifference of the world.
“His eyes closed and the world continues,” says the lyrics, as he recognizes that, Although the life of one has a transcendent event, that of others continues its course as if nothing.
Some of this style happened last night, August 13, 2025, when Bitcoin reached a new historical maximum by exceeding $ 123,500. For those who follow his career closely, it was a monumental milestone, worth marking a before and after and worthy of being celebrated in a big way.
But, outside that circle, The reaction was almost non -existent. Neither charged covers, nor massive headlines, nor long discussions in the street. In Google, “bitcoin” searches remained at low levels. In the press (of course, not in cryptootics, but in the non -specialized press), the record was just any other comment or minor note.
Who has lived other Bitcoin cycles knows that a historical maximum used to be synonymous with generalized euphoria. In 2017, the first time it exceeded $ 20,000, Christmas donings were full of brothers -in -law talking about the issue, the media speculated with “the bubble” and even the taxi drivers gave investment advice. In 2021, when he climbed beyond 60,000, Google search engines registered an upload of consultations and the news put him on a giant screen.
Today, the contrast is abysmal. Bitcoin is at its best price in history, but does not awaken the same passion popular. The graphics show a new roof, but the social feeling is indifference. As in Gardel’s tango and pear: a news that for some means everything, but that for the rest is unadverted, almost invisible.
The strongest explanation of such behavior is that This cycle is dominated by the great institutional players. What was previously a phenomenon of small savers seeking to “get rich fast” is now a stealthy movement of investment funds, banks and public companies.
In the following image it can be seen that there are more than 100 companies that are quoted in stock exchanges that are accumulating BTC as if there were no tomorrow:
Blackrock, Fidelity, Microstrategy, Sovereign Funds of the Middle East: the protagonists of this Bullrun do not argue in forums or publish memes on Twitter. Buy Bitcoin, accumulate in the long term and manage strategies with decades horizons. For them, an ATH is not a party: it is just an accounting fact.
Instead, The average retailer shines for his absence. Many feel still marked by 2022 falls, others don’t even pay attention, and a majority simply knows that Bitcoin has just broken another record.
The very low individual interest does not mean that Bitcoin has lost strength. On the contrary: it reflects a degree of maturity. The asset ceased to be a speculative toy to transform into a serious piece within the global financial board. But that transition brings with it a curious effect: the more serious it becomes, the less noise it does.
Even so, the history of Bitcoin has an almost choreographic rhythm that is repeated in each upward market: first buy those who are convinced, whether pioneers or institutions. The price reaches records and then, when small savers return in mass, they do it late, in the final part of the cycle, pushed by greed and the fear of staying outside.
Today we are clearly in the second stage. Bitcoin has just written a new record in its history, but does it in the midst of silence. And that silence, far from being a sign of weakness, is precisely the calm that precedes the storm.
This generalized indifference has a practical consequence: opens a unique opportunity. While “the world continues to walk” as if nothing, the individual investor can accumulate without pressures, without headlines that feed hysteria and without the risk of buying in full bubble.
The Dollar Cost Averaging strategy (DCA) – Comply little by little, with a long term discipline— Find your golden moment here. Because when the multitude returned and the media frenzy turns on again, it will be too late to enter cheap.
In other words: what today seems just an isolated fact (“Bitcoin in 123,500”) tomorrow will be remembered as a simple step in a much greater ascent.
Let’s not fool ourselves: the noise will return. We always saw it. The last -moment news will return, the influencers promising millions, the WhatsApp groups full of “How do I buy?” And the retailers will open accounts in exchanges when the price is already around 140,000 or $ 150,000.
That is the tango that is danced every cycle: first indifference, then overflowing greed. And in the middle, the opportunity for those who know how to read the beat before the rest.
Gardel was right. Yesterday’s AT is a big fact for Bitcoin, but small on the scale of everyday life. The world continues its course: inflation worries, war conflicts advance, governments stagger. In the midst of all that, Bitcoin marks a new milestone and, nevertheless, he still does not shake the collective project.
The world keeps walking, but Bitcoin’s train too. Its logic remains intact: limited offer, increasing adoption, more and more institutions placed in the long term. That there are no bombastic headlines does not change that destination.
For the small investor, the message is clear: this is the time to act with serenity. Make DCA, think in the long term, avoid being paralyzed by the indifference of others. Because when the noise returns – and it will return – it will be too late to enter calmly.
Gardel tango reminds us that life does not stop for tragedies or individual successes. Bitcoin, in his own way, shows that cycles do not stop for collective indifference. The price will continue its course, it will mark new records, and one day this ATH will be just a memory.
