Title: Did the Bitcoin Blast Off Arise from an April Fool’s Day Prank?
Post by: Zed0X on April 02, 2019, 02:47:42 PM
The cryptocurrency market is still nascent. Analysts believe that the looming regulations and challenges may have tamed the prices to slump into a prolonged crypto winter. However, crypto spring seems to have arrived in style with a bitcoin blast off that saw the crypto surge by up to 20% within minutes.

In the early morning hours of April 2, Bitcoin saw its largest positive surge in price for more than four months. The most popular crypto climbed to a 2019 all-time high of $5100 registered on BitMex. The rapid price increase saw BTC reach the November 2018 prices. Also, the whole market cap followed suit and surged by at least $20 billion.

The Pranks

The unexpected takeoff led to many analysts wondering what could have caused it. Some think it is just the normal technical analysis that prompted more buyers to enter the market. However, others believe that the bitcoin blast off took place due to a fools’ day prank. There was a publication circulated on April 1st.

During April fool’s day, the news stated that the SEC had approved the Bitcoin ETF. The decision about this matter has been pending for almost a year now and it would represent good news for the markets potentially resulting in price spikes. The SEC story, sadly, was fake news and was just an April fool’s day joke. https://www.financemagnates.com/cryptocurrency/news/sec-drops-the-bomb-approves-bitcoin-etfs-markets-skyrocket/

Another possible reason for the bitcoin blast off could be the news that Warren Buffet, the American business magnate, was diversifying into Bitcoin. Nonetheless, that was old news that also appeared on April fool’s day, making it fake news too. In the real world, Buffet most recently described BTC as being “a delusion, basically.”

The magnate has also previously called the most popular digital currency a “rat poison squared”.  Thus, it would be a positive injection to the markets if Buffet flipped to the BTC side and become a maximalist for the digital currency. But, that is all fake news.

The socialblade april fools, of showing income in Bitcoin, Ether and other altcoins reached a lot of people it seems. But I think overall, despite the additional publicity for crypto on april 1st, the technicals were showing that a big move was coming - and there it was.

The rise in Bitcoin prices over the past two days is very impressive. I would like to hope that this will be the beginning of a good growth of the cryptocurrency market. However, usually a sharp jerk in the price goes down. Moreover, such a growth in recent times is really rare. Therefore, I think that if the market goes up, then in the next few days, it will first fall down, in order to start growing again. In the next few days we will see what will happen with the price of Bitcoin.

That would be funny if it were true that some bought because of those false news on April Fools Day. Looking at the chart now, it does not look that way. Many would have instantly cashed out upon finding out that those news weren't true causing a big dump.

Sometimes April Fool brings a negative impact. I can't imagine who has bought BTC with a high price today. But I still see the price is not decreasing till now. BTC price survives around $4,750 and it is not a prank. It is the true rate of Bitcoin on coinmarketcap.

However, even the news was fake or true, the price of Bitcoin has already increased. And it is still increasing to reach a higher rate. I don't think it is all about April's prank. It is the time for Bitcoin to increase, and it happened to coincide with April fool.

Hopefully this is not just a joke that happened in April. But as evidence that there are already signs of a cryptocurrency price increase will begin. And this is not only a temporary increase and will come back down sharply.

If Bitcoin growth would have started because of the April Fool's joke mentioned above, then we would have already seen its price drop to the level as of the end of March. This did not happen, and therefore there is no reason to associate the rise in the price of Bitcoin with an April Fool's joke. Of course, finally it will be possible to say only in a week or two.

Yes as it appears, the Bitcoin and alts price increase the past few days was not a joke. The price came down to $4k level after passing thru $5K but it's showing a strong support so far preventing a further decline.

Perhaps due to these jokes on April 1 there was an uptrend in prices, but I doubt that only a joke could cause prices to rise by 20% in such a short period of time, especially since Bitcoin capitalization rose by $10 billion in a couple of days, this is quite a large amount. Perhaps there were also other reasons for such a large increase in prices.

if according to my predictions. the price of bitcoin even though now the price starts to rise again. in April but I still can't confirm that the bitcoin price will always improve in April. because I still doubt that the price will drop sharply again. but I always hope and see the price of bitcoin always goes up and improves

yes, it looks like this month there was an explosion in crypto price increases, especially at bitcoin prices, because seeing the development of current bitcoin prices has also been much more developed than last month.

I think this is a coincidence, during April MOP, at the same time BTC experienced a price increase, hopefully the price of BTC continued to rise

the beginning of April was a very good start for the increase in the price of bitcoin, but I still strongly believe that the price of bitcoin will continue to rise after this.

I think also like that, that spring will recover soon for other bitcoin and crypto, and the price of bitcoin will be increasingly developed with technological advances.

I also remember that a good growth of Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market in general began precisely after the first of April. I do not think that everything began with good jokes about the growth of cryptocurrency and people began to buy bitcoins in large quantities. In any case, I do not know such examples. Although this possibility is not excluded. After all, good and bad news greatly affect the price of cryptocurrency. Then someone joked very well. Most likely, there were a lot of such jokers.

Bitcoin is linked to Warren Buffet and he stated that Bitcoin is a "Delusion" . LOL
It's better if he just keeps quiet, don't take care of Bitcoin, if Bitcoin is indeed an illusion why is the circulation of Bitcoin attracted by many people? LOL

Yes, by a strange coincidence, Bitcoin began to grow well in price since April 1. Maybe someone successfully joked and the joke was a success. It turns out, after all, the cryptocurrency is very susceptible to news factors. Moreover, in this case, they were positive, but they can also be negative.

Most likely, it was a coincidence. But, nevertheless, it was the first of April this year that Bitcoin began to grow in price. Since then, it rises, periodically leaving for the correction of its price. Well, perhaps someone’s good joke was a success and this served as a catalyst for price increases. Already hard to say.

You made double comments, mate. Both are similar [100%] and it's better to delete one of them.
You may make a mistake and not aware of it, then I suggest to be more careful.

Anyway, regarding your comment, in fact it didn't experience the same condition as 2017.
There are many differences between the current year and 2017. So, I think it will be hard to expect the same thing.

Yes, I remember that it was on the first of April that bitcoin this year began to grow rapidly in price and grew until the end of June, having increased almost four times during this time. Perhaps the impetus in the growth of its price was served by certain optimistic jokes about bitcoin.
Now we expect the next growth  in cryptocurrency prices. It is necessary that again someone successfully joke.
