The year 2025, has been both challenging and full of surprises. As entrepreneurs, we need to be able to swing with the punches and come out on top.
In this article, we look back at some of the events that shook the entrepreneurial landscape and some free or nearly free Pop Up World apps, tools and articles that can help you in the coming New Year!
Here goes…
The Rise of Gold and Silver
One of the most astonishing events of the year and a nice surprise was the astronomical rise of gold and silver. Hopefully, you managed to catch the run.
Gold has increased from around $2624 per ounce to around $4286 per ounce, a 63% increase.
Silver has seen a rise from $28 per ounce to $63 per ounce, a staggering +120% increase.
Indicators show this rise could continue in the new year.

The Rise (and Fall) of Bitcoin
In October (2025), Bitcoin hit a peak of $126,000, an astounding surge from the January price of around $94,000.
The surprise was not so positive. At the time of writing (December 2025), Bitcoin sits at around $91,000. So, Bitcoin has gone down ever so slightly this year (-4%).
The potential of Bitcoin in the new year is strong. However, entrepreneurs should be careful not to go ‘all in’ as price swings can be dramatic. Only put in what you can afford to lose.
