Crypto KOL Ansem Says Bitcoin Is a Good Buy at Current Levels Despite Prior Bearish View

Crypto KOL Ansem said Bitcoin’s current price offers a favorable buying opportunity, reiterating his long-term investment thesis despite previously holding a bearish stance.

According to ChainCatcher, Ansem argued that Bitcoin’s core narrative remains intact, citing its resistance to government seizure, ability to move across borders quickly, and insulation from long-term U.S. dollar debasement as reasons it can serve as a long-term store of wealth.

He noted that gold outperformed Bitcoin during 2024 to 2025, which he said weakened the “digital gold” narrative, but added that a return of price momentum could restore market confidence.

On macro conditions, Ansem said that with the Strait of Hormuz reopening and inflation pressures potentially easing, the U.S. Federal Reserve’s hawkish stance may be near its peak, creating room for rate cuts rather than further hikes. He also said a strong dollar and rising rates have pressured gold, but added that if profit-taking in AI stocks leads capital to rotate into real estate, cash, and long-term value-storage assets, both gold and Bitcoin could benefit.

Ansem also said institutional interest in Bitcoin remains, referencing Paul Tudor Jones.

He said his earlier bearish view was tied to what he described as position risk around Strategy founder Saylor, and he previously doubted Bitcoin could hold $60,000. Ansem added that current price action appears to be pricing in a worst-case scenario in which Saylor is forced to sell, and said that even if such selling were required, it would not happen for at least six months.

He concluded that Bitcoin is at the intersection of long-term historical support and what he views as extremely pessimistic market sentiment, calling entry in early Q3 a trade setup worth monitoring.
