BITCOIN PRICE JUMPED 42% LAST TIME IT HIT THIS LEVEL! | BTC Price Analysis

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

In an interview with Altcoin Daily, Binance founder, and CEO, Changpeng Zhao (CZ) answered true to Bitcoin reaching a $1 million valuation one day.

However, considering that the BTC price prediction came from a quickfire, true, or false segment at the end of the interview, it would be wise to take this valuation with skepticism.

Of more significant concern was CZ’s view on the long term outlook for the market leader.

Contrary to his million-dollar price prediction, he believes a bigger and better alternative will replace Bitcoin at some point.

The interview covered a wide range of topics, including cryptocurrency as a hedge against traditional finance, Bitcoin maximalism, and the role of DeFi in taking the space forward.

But of interest was CZ’s opinion on the long term future of Bitcoin, especially when taking into account the antiquated nature of its core technology, and the limitations of updating it as a live blockchain.

“To be honest, I think Bitcoin’s dominance over time will decrease, not increase. It may increase in the short term… there’s a lot of innovations people do that people can bring back to Bitcoin, like second layer solutions etc. But when the technology is out already and adopted for ten years, there’s relatively limited scope that you can update it.”

CZ expanded on this by saying sooner or later, every technology eventually gets replaced by something better.

He drew on examples such as dated programming languages, and once-dominant hardware and software firms losing ground to more innovative rivals.

“nothing lasts forever… so things change… if we look at 10, 15, 20 years later, I think it’s totally conceivable that something new will replace Bitcoin, and something better than Bitcoin.”

However, he was keen to state that Bitcoin will still be around, simply because going back to fiat is an unlikely alternative.

But he remains adamant that another, more current product will usurp the market leader down the line.

“But if you ask 20 years from now is it still going to be king? A hundred years from now, a thousand years from now, and the answer is obviously we’re not sure, things just change over time.”

Bitcoin has considerable influence on the rest of the other markets.

If CZ’s prediction plays out, what then for the future of cryptocurrency as a whole?

Zhao dealt with this by saying a decoupling of this effect will occur, but this will happen over a long period. “within the next six months, if Bitcoin went to zero that would be true, everything else will be hit really really bad. But if you look at a five year, ten year horizon… I don’t think cryptocurrencies will be gone.

However, as the most decentralized and censorship-resistant, Bitcoin will retain its place in the short to medium term.

TOP FUND MANAGER EXPLAINS WHY BITCOIN WILL UNDERGO “EXPLOSIVE” RALLY

According to the chief investment officer of Hayman Capital Management, Kyle Bass, Bitcoin will soon rally alongside the two top precious metals:

“Silver, Gold, Bitcoin, etc all look to be ready to make explosive moves higher given the sheer amount of money printing going on around the world. Here is a chart or front-month silver going back 10 years.”

Bass is a prominent investor who called the Great Recession in 2008.

He has also been critical of China and the central bank money-printing efforts that have gone on over the past decade.

In late 2019, he said that what will also fuel a rally in the price of Bitcoin is people in Asia, especially in China, trying to siphon funds out of the sometimes closed economy there.

Binance CEO Believes Bitcoin is Going to $1 Million, But With a Twist

Top Fund Manager Explains Why Bitcoin Will Undergo “Explosive” Rally

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

Bitcoin Bull Max Keiser Believes Shareholders Will Demand Corporations to Grab BTC Following Microstrategy’s $425M Acquisition.

Keiser stated that now shareholders of other big companies and corporations are going to demand to convert their cash reserves into Bitcoin as Tahini’s pro-Bitcoin restaurant chain has already begun to do.

The Nasdaq-traded business software producer Microstrategy amazed the crypto community by placing more if its cash into Bitcoin.

Back then, its CEO Michael Saylor tweeted that the company had acquired 16,796 Bitcoin for $175,000,000.

That was the second purchase of BTC by this company.

The first acquisition took place on Aug. 11, when Microstrategy acquired 21,454 BTC for a whopping $250,000,000, making headlines in crypto and mainstream media.

Bitcoin proponent Max Keiser tweeted that now shareholders will demand that corporations start acquiring Bitcoin with their spare cash.

$MSTR declares war on the Fed, Who will join them? *Every* CFO/CEO, per statues of corporate governance, is now obligated to examine their own “melting ice cube” Shareholders will now *DEMAND* they deploy idle cash to Bitcoin. Michael Saylor is a board room revolutionary”

He was, in fact, commenting on a tweet thread posted by the Canadian restaurant chain Tahini’s, which has recently converted all of its cash reserves to Bitcoin.

On Aug. 19, the Tahini’s franchise acquired BTC using all of its spare cash reserves down to the last dollar.

The CEO Omar Hamam tweeted that, despite difficulties after the lockdown and many of his staffers deciding not to go back to work (as they received stimulus checks), he decided that the stimulus cash he received from the government would no longer be a secure investment.

So he started educating himself on blockchain and Bitcoin and then decided to convert all of his company’s cash reserves in BTC.

MicroStrategy CEO Says ‘Bitcoin Scales Just Fine As Store Of Value’

Bitcoin (BTC) as a store of value “scales just fine,” the CEO of the company that just purchased 38,250 BTC has said.

In a tweet on Sep. 17, Michael Saylor revealed more information about MicroStrategy’s dramatic launch into Bitcoin.

“We acquired 21,454 BTC via 78,388 off-chain transactions, then secured it in cold storage with 18 on-chain transactions. Bitcoin scales just fine as a store of value.”

Continuing, Saylor described a status quo where on-chain transactions for major investors will remain a rarity:

“If Bitcoin is treated as a treasury reserve asset, based on our model, 99.98% of all transactions will be off-chain, and assets-at-risk will be in cold storage 99.92% of the time.”

Off-chain transactions via solutions such as the Lightning Network allow Bitcoin transaction volume to increase without adding volume to the blockchain and raising fees to appeal to miners.

In his popular book, The Bitcoin Standard, Saifedean Ammous likewise argues that off-chain activity will become the norm once Bitcoin gains a much larger user base.

That could happen sooner rather than later.

Following the Pompliano interview, statistician Willy Woo picked up on Saylor highlighting the world’s 35,000 publicly traded companies that have spare cash reserves of $5 trillion.

“I make out if others follow MicroStrategy’s lead and even just 1% of that capital finds its way into BTC, that’s enough to blow Bitcoin cap to $2T,” he tweeted.

Woo added that given MicroStrategy took six months to approve its shift to Bitcoin, any copycat moves would begin to surface in 2021.

Why did $425M MSTR buy not move #bitcoin price up? Because they bought carefully, thousands of small incognito algo orders over a period of weeks. Key thing: $425M is transferred from weak hands (shitcoiners, traders, noobs) to strong hands (hodl): reducing future sell pressure🚀 pic.twitter.com/bBJsAFj6iy

What are the odds … that other cash-rich companies like Google, Apple, Microsoft will not get serious questions about #bitcoin at the next shareholder meeting, or even get sued for breaching their fiduciary obligation for not buying bitcoin and letting all that cash melt away? pic.twitter.com/QY1C0NbMjG

Technicals Suggest Bitcoin Looks Ready For Another Leg Higher Over $11K

BITCOIN BTC DOMINANCE DOWN 11%

Bitcoin has started to consolidate just above the $10k mark but altcoins are still climbing which has pushed BTC dominance to an eight-month low.

Has the alt season finally arrived? Since the beginning of this year, the BTC market share has declined by almost 11%.

By the end of last year it had topped 70% but today it has dropped to 62.5% according to Tradingview.

This is the lowest it has been since early July 2019. The Bitcoin price itself has made around 44% this year in a climb from just under $7,200 to top out at $10,500 a couple of days ago.

These gains are impressive when compared to any other asset such as gold which has only managed just over 4% in the same period.

However, in the world of cryptocurrencies, these gains have been eclipsed by some of the altcoins, several of which have surged by three figures since the beginning of the year.

Total market capitalization itself is up over 60% since New Year’s Day as the rest of the cryptocurrencies out-perform their big brother.

Total crypto market cap topped $300 billion this week which is the highest it has been since early August last year.

XRP Price Hits 7-Month High as BitMEX Users Reel From 60% Flash Crash BitMEX continues to field major criticism and even anger from traders who lost huge amounts of money in a flash crash involving altcoin Ripple XRP.

The crash, which occurred at 14.00 UTC on Feb. 13, saw XRP/USD fall 60% from $0.33 to just $0.13 – for two seconds.

In that time, traders complain, measures designed to prevent liquidations of positions failed to activate, and BitMEX automatically erased their entire balances.

BitMEX is well known for offering trades with significant leverage. In the case of XRP, traders are able to leverage by up to 50 times.
