BITCOIN WILL FIRST HIT $100K, THEN $288K IN ‘2ND LEG OF THIS BTC BULL MARKET,’ SAYS S2F CREATOR!!!!!

➡️ REPLAY – Teeka Tiwari’s ‘Set For Life’ Summit: Register here: http://teeka.cryptonewsalerts.net

This past weekend, data shows the most active Bitcoin options contracts were calls for $28k, $32k, and $36k by the year’s end.

This means a number of options traders are betting the BTC price will exceed the all-time high (ATH) the decentralized currency touched in December 2017.

On September 14, researchers from the data analytics firm Skew.com tweeted about an unusual number of call options for December 2020 that are well above the 2017 ATH.

“[December 2020] $28k, $32k, [and] $36k calls among the most active bitcoin options contracts yesterday,” Skew tweeted.

All of these calls are well above the mid-December 2017 ATH, which saw BTC touch $19,600 per coin.

The new open positions took place on the crypto-financial derivatives platform Deribit.

The action took place after $570 million (notional) of BTC options contracts expired on Deribit on August 28.

There were 752 open positions for $36k, 462 contracts for $32k, and 230 for $28k.

Additionally, some $9k and $9,750 calls were set for the end of September.

Responding to Skew’s December calls tweet, one individual wrote:

“Without opining the possibilities to this, it will be entertaining to revisit at the end of the [fourth] quarter.”

Essentially, bitcoin options are crypto-derivatives products that provide a person or group with the right, but not obligation to buy and sell the BTC at a predetermined strike price, while also leveraging an expiry date.

“If you think from a technical perspective what we are getting right now is Bitcoin flipping a former resistance level at $10,000 to become a support. From May to the end of July, Bitcoin was desperately stuck below $10k. But for [seven] days now $10,000 is holding strong.”

Global Fiat Failure Will Push Countries to Accumulate Bitcoin, Says Max Keiser

Max Keiser, Wall Street vet and host of RT’s Keiser Report, says he believes countries will seek refuge in Bitcoin as fiat currencies fail on a global scale.

“You’ll see countries start to accumulate Bitcoin and start to mine for Bitcoin as well, and then they’ll start to subsidize the money they would be subsidizing the energy industry in and subsidizing that in the Bitcoin mining space.

So then the game theory kicks in. So, for example, Iran right now has something like 2% of the global hash rate of Bitcoin… Let’s say suddenly they’ve got 5% of the hash rate… So then America says ‘Wait a minute this is like the Sputnik moment.

Iran could potentially be the richest country in the world if they have a significant piece of Bitcoin,’ and the price goes to $400,000 to compete with gold…so then they (America) start to subsidize their mining.”

Keiser says the race to acquire more BTC between competing countries will drive the price and security of Bitcoin to heights never before seen.

“So what this does is it increases the hash rate so the hash rate now is over a hundred quintillion calculations per second in the Bitcoin mining space… Which means the security goes up, which means it’s even harder money.

Bitcoin is not only hard money but it keeps getting harder every week and every month because the hash rate gets higher and higher and higher. So with that higher security, higher hash rate, the price goes up. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. So now you’re chasing the Bitcoin up through to a $100,000, $200,000 a coin to get the hard money because all your fiat money is collapsing.”

PlanB, creator of the Bitcoin stock-to-flow (S2F) model, says the Bitcoin price is unlikely to dip below $8,200 even as the top-ranked cryptocurrency has dropped 13% over the last one week.

The BTC price has fallen below the $9,000 mark. Taking to Twitter on Wednesday (February 26, 2020), PlanB identified $8,200 as the likely bottom for the current downward slide.

PlanB’s tweet reads:

“$8.2k bottom still stands. It would really be unprecedented if it breaks, never happened before. Note it has nothing to do with s2f.”

Thus far, PlanB’s S2F has been the most historically accurate Bitcoin price prediction model with a forecast of $100,000 per BTC before the end of 2021.

PlanB’s latest tweet is a reiteration of predictions offered earlier in February, stating that the Bitcoin price would stay above $8,200 and that the post halving BTC price will be above $10,000.

Over the last three days, Bitcoin (BTC) has lost over $1,000 and is down close to 18% since been unable to overcome resistance at the $10,600 price level.

Despite the current slide, the Bitcoin price is still up by more than 20% since the start of the year.

‘Rationalized Bullshit’ – Vitalik Buterin Pans Bitcoin Price Forecasts

Ethereum (ETH) co-founder Vitalik Buterin does not believe that the popular stock-to-flow model is useful for predicting the BTC price.

In a Twitter debate on Feb. 27, Buterin became the second well-known figure to criticize stock-to-flow, which calls for BTC/USD to trade at an average $100,000 between 2021 and 2024.

The model has been historically accurate at predicting Bitcoin’s growth and currently calls for an average of around $8,606.

After trading at more than 20% higher, Bitcoin this week fell to within $200 of that target.

For Buterin, however, stock-to-flow is a prediction model like any other. 

Discussing press articles that attribute specific events to Bitcoin price growth, he claimed that the vast majority were “post-hoc rationalized bullshit.”

“Your daily reminder that 95%+ of articles of the form “event X will make crypto go (up | down)” are post-hoc rationalized bullshit,” he wrote.

When asked specifically whether stock-to-flow articles also came under that banner, Buterin added: “Nah, that stuff is part of the 95%.”

Bitcoin Price Won’t Fall Below $8.2K During This Crash: PlanB

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

A group of Bitcoin influencers is offering their take on the BTC future, as well as the future of the global macro economy as Chainlink (LINK) soars to new all-time highs.

In a new episode of What Bitcoin Did podcast, Nic Carter, Tuur Demeester, Robert Breedlove and Alex Leishman agree that a widespread economic shift is brewing around the world, which will ultimately benefit BTC.

Carter, a partner at Castle Island Ventures, says he thinks a cascade of currency failures is coming over the next two years.

“What I think is likely to happen in the next 24 months is a wave of sovereign currency failures similar to the Asian financial crisis in the late ’90s, similar to the post Soviet Union, when a lot of sovereign currencies failed. You see it at times of dollar strength. You see it at times of global dislocation. It’s regional. It’s contagious. We’ve begun to see some distress in some sovereign currencies when there’s a lot of debt.

The world is very indebted in emerging markets and unfortunately, I think it’s going to immiserate tens or hundreds of millions of people. And for some of those people, they will be able to use crypto financial rails to exit their sovereign local currency and they can go to Bitcoin. They can go to the US dollar. There are stablecoins on these rails. So I think this is going to be a big story for the next year.”

Adamant Capital founder Tuur Demeester says increasing debt will cripple economies five to ten years in the future.

As for Bitcoin, he says traders need to prepare for another massive rally that will set everyone’s hair on fire.

“I think Bitcoin is a self-directed insurance policy. There’s a unique opportunity to get some exposure to that and there’s so much said about crypto and to me, the essence is just buy a little bit, start with that and then make a plan about storage, how you’re going to store it.

And also think ahead, like are you going to diversify that storage. The first time you buy, you store it in one place, but then I think it’s a good idea to think about storing it in different places. Because there is no FDIC. It’s not insured. If you lose your keys or if a company goes bust, it’s game over and you have to re-buy your Bitcoin. So think about that.

Also, make a plan for the price. Bitcoin prices, Bitcoin rallies are nothing like you’ve ever seen. Prices go up 10x, 100x in short periods of time. So you want to think beforehand about what you’re going to do when that happens.

Also, think about tax consequences. If you have a plan about selling, make sure you know the tax consequences of what you’re doing. Because a lot of people got burned in 2017.”

Chainlink (LINK) Surges 39.5% to a New All-Time High – Here’s Why

Today the price of Chainlink (LINK) soared by more than 34% to reach a new all-time high at $8.48 and also notch a market capitalization of $2.5 billion.

Three key factors that likely pushed the price of LINK to a new record high were: high-profile partnerships, price discovery, and the strong momentum that currently drives the altcoin market.

On July 6, the price of LINK surpassed its previous record high at $5.31 and officially entered a price discovery phase, which typically leads to a “fear of missing out” rally among investors.

Once price discovery occurs and the asset begins to rally to a new peak, the probability of an extended uptrend rises.

Within seven days of LINK recording a new historic high, its price rallied by more than 40% from $5.31 to $8.48.
