KEY LEVELS TO WATCH AS BITCOIN PRICE SLIPS BELOW $34K!! WILL BTC STILL HIT 6-FIGURES THIS YEAR?!!

➡️ Tap into OPM (Other People’s Money): http://opm.cryptonewsalerts.net

Strategist Lyn Alden said she switched from “uninterested to quite bullish on Bitcoin” in 2020.

Following the drop of BTC to sub-$3,600 in March, she remains optimistic on the top cryptocurrency.

Alden, who found Lyn Alden Investment Strategy, wrote:

“So, I’m neither a perma-bull on Bitcoin at any price, or someone that dismisses it outright. As an investor in many asset classes, these are the three main reasons I switched from uninterested to quite bullish on Bitcoin early this year, and remain so today.”

The three reasons Alden laid out are scarcity, halving, and the potential of Bitcoin to act as a backdrop to inflation.

Reason# 1: Scarcity of Bitcoin

Unlike traditional financial assets, even gold, the supply of Bitcoin is fixed.

No more than 21 million BTC can ever exist, which makes Bitcoin a deflationary currency.

Scarcity could give Bitcoin value, Alden explains in her paper.

There are no central entities that could alter the monetary policy of BTC.

If the demand for Bitcoin continues to increase and its supply remains the same, it could push the value upwards.

She explained:

“Bitcoin’s protocol limits it to 21 million coins in total, which gives it scarcity, and therefore potentially gives it value… if there is demand for it.”

Reason #2: The May 11 halving

On May 11, the Bitcoin blockchain network underwent its third block reward halving.

Approximately every four years, a halving gets activated, slowing down the production of BTC by half. 

The purpose of a halving is to decrease the rate of BTC production gradually as Bitcoin approaches its maximum supply of 21 million.

A halving cuts block rewards miners receive by half, leading to a massive decline of miner revenues for a brief period.

Following every halving, Bitcoin historically saw extended price rallies.

The previous halvings occurred in 2012 and 2016.

At the time, BTC was hovering at $11 and $650 in 2012 and 2016 respectively.

Now, BTC remains above $9,000, after reaching a record high at $20,000 in December 2017.

Alden wrote:

“Bitcoin has historically performed extremely well during the 12-18 months after launch and after the first two halvings. The reduction in new supply or flow of coins, in the face of constant or growing demand for coins, unsurprisingly tends to push the price up.”

Reason #3: Backdrop of heightened levels of inflation

In May 2020, billionaire hedge fund investor Paul Tudor Jones praised Bitcoin and described it as “great speculation.”

Tudor Jones said he holds just over 1% of his net worth in Bitcoin.

He explained that the potential devaluation of cash strengthens the value proposition of BTC.

He said:

“Every day that goes by that bitcoin survives, the trust in it will go up.”

Similarly, Alden said that other hedge funds have been investing or experimenting with Bitcoin as of late.

“Smaller hedge funds have already been dabbling in Bitcoin, and Tudor Jones may be the largest investor to date to get into it. There are now firms that have services directed at getting institutional investors on board with Bitcoin, whether they be hedge funds, pensions, family offices, or RIA Firms.”

The past few weeks have undoubtedly been rough for crypto; from the February highs, the Bitcoin price has fallen 36%, reaching a low of $3,800 in March.

Robert Kiyosaki, the author of the popular financial book “Rich Dad Poor Dad,” sees no reason to fear, though. In fact, the well-known investor recently went as far as to say that it’s time to drop dollars for Bitcoin (BTC) and other hard money.

In a recent tweet, Kiyosaki explained that with the Fed “counterfeiting […] trillions of fake dollars – $82 billion a month to $125 billion a day” and interest rates at 0%, it makes sense to save “gold, god’s money, or Bitcoin, people’s money,” rather than the fiat dollars that don’t yield anything and are being constantly debased.

He added in a later tweet that the dollar is likely “dying,” boosting the case to invest in gold, silver, and Bitcoin.

“DEATH OF DOLLAR. People desperate for money. Very sad. If government gives you free money take it yet spend it wisely. DO NOT SAVE. Buy gold, silver, Bitcoin. Dollar is dying. Silver $20. Best Buy for future security. Everyone can afford $20, especially with free fake money.”

It should come as no surprise, then, that demand for Bitcoin is booming regardless of the current BTC price action.

Leading cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase reported that during the now-infamous “Black Thursday” crash, the exchange saw a dramatic surge in buying interest for cryptocurrency:

“But beyond just a rush, two things are clear: customers of our retail brokerage were buyers during the drop, and Bitcoin was the clear favorite. Our customers typically buy 60% more than they sell but during the crash this jumped to 67%, taking advantage of market troughs and representing strong demand for crypto assets even during extreme volatility.”

The U.S.-based Kraken corroborated this narrative, writing in a recent tweet that the exchange “recorded an 83% rise in sign ups, and a 300% increase in verifications” over the past few weeks.

Bitcoin price needs to hit $340,000 just to match its performance from its last BTC halving cycle, data shows.

In a Twitter series on Aug. 20, popular statistics resource ChartsBTC noted that the BTC price still has huge room for growth at current levels of $11,700.

Comparing lows, highs and halving prices from its two previous Bitcoin halving cycles, ChartsBTC put the difference between peaks at 36x for the 2012 cycle and 17x for the 2016 cycle.

In order to repeat even the more modest cycle’s success, BTC/USD would have to trade at $340,000. 36x from last cycle’s high — Bitcoin’s all-time record of $20,000 — comes to $720,000.

Comparing cycle lows, the results are even more dramatic — the smallest jump of 130x from the previous cycle would deliver a Bitcoin price of $400,000.

Running the same diagnosis for Bitcoin’s price at the time of its halving events, the price target is $250,000.

“The multiples from prior cycles applied to the current one arrive at highs between $250k and $1.6M in the next 18 months,” ChartsBTC summarized.

The account noted that while the math adds up, there is little evidence which demands that such levels really do appear within the given timeframe. “While this may sound exciting, it’s just hopium,” it added.

“The prior highs and lows won’t dictate the future.”

Yearn Finance (YFI) Becomes First Altcoin to Exceed the Price of Bitcoin – Now What?

Yearn.finance’s native governance token YFI became the first-ever altcoin to surpass the price of Bitcoin (BTC) on Aug. 20.

It spiked to as high as $13,444 on Binance, fueled by the growing demand for Decentralized Finance, or DeFi.

Yearn.finance is a DeFi protocol that launched in July with no premine in a decentralized setting by developer Andre Cronje.

It is the first protocol on Ethereum that claims to give token holders all the power to govern the network.

Blockchain analytics firm IntoTheBlock said`:

“Just a month ago, the yearn.finance token was trading around the $1000 mark. #YFI is up more than 10x in one month, climbing to $10,551.25 yEarn Finance is the first project on Ethereum, whose governance is entirely in the hands of token holders.”

Cryptocurrency researcher Hasu explains yearn.finance as a platform that allows users to execute various investment strategies.

He says: “If you’re not familiar with Yearn, you can think of it as a smart bank account that automatically allocates your assets to different low-risk investment strategies that execute on the Ethereum blockchain.”

The price of YFI, the governance token of the protocol, increased naturally as the total value locked in yearn.finance surged.

According to data from Defipulse, more than $670 million worth of capital is locked in yearn.finance.

Compared to other tokens, the price of YFI is high due to its unique monetary supply.

Its supply is capped at 30,000, which is significantly lower than most digital assets.

While the price of YFI has surpassed $12,000, its market capitalization remains below $400 million.

By market cap, it is the 45th biggest cryptocurrency in the global market.

As such, crypto startup investor Ian Lee explained that YFI surpassing Bitcoin is more of a psychological event than anything else.

He explained:

“YFI ‘flipping’ BTC price is arbitrary & more psychologically than practically important. What is important is what yearn.finance is doing & Andre Cronje is building in DeFi.”
