Today, trending crypto discussions on X revolve around the market’s recovery, news, and analytics. Beau, Doctor Profit, Hunter Horsley, Grant Cardone, and Tomas Greif shared their analysis and takes on the market and particular crypto projects.

In today’s X recap, you’ll find details on:

  • PENGU token’s performance
  • Bitcoin’s chart forms the golden line
  • Types of Bitcoin investors 
  • Cardone Capital’s Bitcoin accumulation
  • Crypto inheritance problem

1. Pudgy Penguins Competes With Disney, Says Security Officer Beau 

In the last 7 days, PENGU, the native cryptocurrency of the Pudgy Penguins NFT collection, has soared by over 150%. The surge comes amid the overall crypto market recovery and is tied to World Penguin Day, celebrated on April 25.

Reacting to PENGU’s bullish performance, Beau (@beausecurity) says the collectible is no longer competing with fellow NFTs. Instead, it’s a cultural movement competing with Disney, Hello Kitty, Star Wars, or even Donald Trump.

According to Beau, NFTs and the PENGU token allow the community to benefit from cultural movements. Currently, the token trades at around $0.01 and is among the 100 largest cryptocurrencies with a market cap of over $821 million.

2. Doctor Profit Comments on Bitcoin’s Bullish Breakout 

Bitcoin is holding above the 50-week exponential moving average (EMA). Trader Doctor Profit (@DrProfitCrypto) commented on the golden line pattern that has formed, calling it one of the most beautiful charts.

The trader sees this as a sign of further upward momentum, with a possible target of $100,000. The chart shared by Doctor Profit shows Bitcoin’s two breakouts: one at $24,000 in February 2023 and the other at $95,000 in April 2025, suggesting that the pattern may repeat itself.
Currently, BTC trades at $94,500, up 8.3% over the last 7 days, supported by institutional inflows.

3. Bitcoin’s Recent Surge Is Not Retail-Driven, According to Bitwise Investments CEO

Hunter Horsley, the CEO of Bitwise Investments, says the types of investors buying Bitcoin are expanding.

Commenting on Bitcoin’s surge above $94,000, Horsley noted that Google searches for Bitcoin are still near long-term lows. He believes the rise is mainly fueled by institutions, advisors, corporations, and even nations.

In an earlier post, Horsley said that the most powerful aspect of Bitcoin is not its technical or investment characteristics, but the way it unites people around the world who are willing and working to make it succeed.

4. Grant Cardone Reveals Bitcoin Accumulation Plans for Cardone Capital

Businessman and founder of Cardone Capital, Grant Cardone, revealed the company’s strategy to buy Bitcoin using its real estate holdings.

Cardone Capital is starting its 4th fund, adding 350 BTC to a total of 1,512 BTC across funds. In the comments section, Grant Cardone clarified that while real estate provides cash flow and tax benefits, Bitcoin offers a large potential for price growth.

5. Tomas Grief Raised the Question of Bitcoin Inheritance

Tomas Greif, Chief of Product and Strategy at Braiins, highlights a key issue with Bitcoin self-custody. “My wife would have no idea how to access our BTC if something happened to me,” he says.

To address the issue, Greif suggests combining self-custody with custodial solutions. While self-custody protects against risks like centralized control and unbacked “paper” Bitcoin, using custodians in different jurisdictions may offer better overall protection.

Greif believes that as Bitcoin adoption grows, more than 90% of people will rely on custodians, with only 5% continuing to practice self-custody.
