In a recent interview, Pierre Rochard, Bitcoin Strategist at crypto exchange Kraken, said that the current Bitcoin bull ran could take the BTC price a lot higher than $100K.

Rochard, who is also the co-host of “Noded Bitcoin Podcast“, as well as Co-Founder of Satoshi Nakamato Institute, made his comments during an hour-long interview (that took place on November 26) on the very popular “Altcoin Daily” YouTube channel.

When asked if $100K was a realistic price target for Bitcoin, he replied:

“I think that’s unrealistic. I think that’s way too low. $100,000, I mean, that’s a 5x from where we’re at basically now, and I think that’s not even really a parabolic top if you were to look at the chart…

“One of my theories is that this cycle is going to be longer than all of the past cycles. And so, it’s going to take us longer to get to the top.

‘Maybe we’ll have a correction at $100,000, and then it’ll ‘crash down’ to $80,000, but then I think it’s going to make another run. I think the ultimate top for this cycle, it’s impossible to know ahead of time, and this is what makes me worried about people trading. The top might be $200,000, it might be $400,000, or it might be $600,000, and each one of those is multiples of the other.

“Trying to time it to me is kind of futile because we’re talking about literally billions, tens of billions, hundreds of billions of dollars flowing into Bitcoin over the next 18 months or next 36 months if we have a very long cycle. So where that moves the price, a lot of it is going to depend on how many coins are actually lost versus coins that are waiting for a very big price to come onto the market versus coins that are not going to come onto the market at all because the owners have a long-term view.

Bitcoin ve kripto piyasasının geri kalanı, geçtiğimiz birkaç gün ve hafta boyunca yoğun bir yükseliş trendinin eşiğine geldi.

Kripto, birçok farklı borsada tüm zamanların en yüksek seviyelerini belirlediğinde, momentumu nihayet durdu ve bu, sadece birkaç gün önce belirlenen 16.400 $ 'lık düşük seviyelerden bir toparlanmanın ardından gerçekleşti.

Kripto'nun bu düşük seviyelere gerilemesinden bu yana gördüğü güç olumlu bir işarettir, ancak 20.000 doların biraz altındaki bir gecede reddedilmesi, bu bölgenin direnç seviyesinin ne kadar yoğun olduğunu gösteriyor.

Bir tüccar şimdi BTC'nin bir konsolidasyon dalgası görmesini umuyor, çünkü bu, birden fazla düşüş göstergesini nötr veya yükseliş bölgesine geri getirebilir.

Bitcoin, şu anki 18.700 $ 'lık fiyatıyla% 5'in biraz üzerinde işlem görüyor. Bu, dün belirlenen 19.800 $ 'lık en yüksek seviyesinden kayda değer bir düşüşe işaret ediyor.

The initial phase of an Ethereum blockchain upgrade that’s been in the works for years has launched.

The beacon chain for Ethereum 2.0 allows investors in the second-largest cryptocurrency to stake their coins and earn rewards in return for powering the network.

It also promises to greatly increase the amount of transaction volume that the network can process using second-layer solutions, with a long-term target of 100,000 transactions per second in mind according to Ethereum creator Vitalik Buterin.

Today’s launch of Ethereum 2.0’s “Phase 0” became inevitable once Ethereum holders sent the required 524,288 ETH into the deposit contract.

Ethereum owners with at least 32 ETH can stake their coins, but their investment will remain locked until Phase 1 rolls out, which could take a year or more to happen.

Ethereum and the aggregated crypto market have been caught in the throes of an intense bout of volatility as of late, which has primarily come about due to Bitcoin’s inability to break above the upper-$19,000 region.

The selling pressure placed on the entire market overnight came about after Bitcoin made another attempt to set fresh all-time highs, with the benchmark crypto plunging as low as $18,200 before finding significant support.

This sent a shockwave throughout the entire market, with ETH plunging into the upper-$500 region after navigating into the mid-$600 region.

One trader is still expecting ETH to see some serious upside in the near-term, especially against its Bitcoin trading pair.

أعرب مايك نوفوغراتز ، الرئيس التنفيذي لشركة الخدمات المالية Galaxy Digital ، مؤخرًا عن مشاعره المعتادة تجاه البيتكوين في برنامج Squawk Box الصباحي على CNBC. خلال المقطع القصير ، سأل القائم بإجراء المقابلة في البرنامج شركة Novogratz عن Bitcoin (BTC) فيما يتعلق بالذهب. وأشار إلى أن اللاعبين الكبار يشترون على ما يبدو العملات المشفرة بعد بيع استثماراتهم في الذهب ، حيث شهد الذهب مؤخرًا مستوى مرتفعًا من التدفق الخارجي.

قالت نوفوغراتز صباح الثلاثاء: "أعتقد أنها ذات مغزى لكنها ليست القصة الحقيقية". وأشار إلى أن "القصة الحقيقية هي اعتماد Bitcoin ، واعتماد العملة المشفرة ، عبر مجموعة متنوعة من الحسابات" ، واستمر في الإشارة إلى اهتمام Guggenheim الأخير باقتناء 500 مليون دولار من أصول GBTC الخاصة بـ Grayscale.

قال Novogratz ، في إشارة إلى اللاعبين الرئيسيين الذين استثمروا في Bitcoin في عام 2020 ، "إنها مجرد مجموعة من المستثمرين المؤسسيين الذين يغيرون رأيهم ، أو يدركون أن الوقت قد حان الآن ، هناك سيولة كافية لبيتكوين لتكون جزءًا منها". الملياردير الممول التحوط بول تيودور جونز و Microstrategy ، شركة ذكاء الأعمال.

أوضح نوفوغراتز أنه "إذا كان من السهل شراء بيتكوين ، لكان السعر أعلى بكثير". "كانت Grayscale Trust طريقة ممتعة جدًا للأشخاص للحصول على عرض مثل ETF."

Gary Cohn, de voormalige president van Goldman Sachs en voormalig economisch hoofdadviseur van Donald Trump, is van mening dat Bitcoin mogelijk geen langetermijnperspectieven heeft voor investeerders.

In een interview met Bloomberg dat vandaag is vrijgegeven, zei Cohn dat het crypto-activum "een deel van de basisintegriteit van een echte markt mist" vanwege het gebrek aan transparantie. Hij zei dat investeerders een systeem in twijfel zouden kunnen trekken "dat geen controlespoor heeft".

"Om alle redenen is het een sterk ontwikkelende beleggingscategorie, het kan mislukken", zei Cohn over Bitcoin. "Een deel van de integriteit van een systeem is weten van wie het is en weten wie het heeft en weten waarom het wordt overgedragen."

De voormalige president van Goldman Sachs heeft gesproken over Bitcoin (BTC) en blockchain na zijn ontslag uit zijn functie bij de Trump-administratie in 2018. Sindsdien is hij toegetreden tot de raad van adviseurs van blockchain-gerelateerd technologiebedrijf Spring Labs.

In de maanden na de bull run van 2017 zei Cohn dat hij "geen grote voorstander was" van Bitcoin, maar toch het potentieel zag van blockchain-technologie. Destijds geloofde Cohn dat crypto een rol zal spelen in de toekomst van financiën, maar het zou waarschijnlijk een wereldwijd token zijn dat 'gemakkelijker te begrijpen' is dan Bitcoin, waarbij hij mijnkosten noemt als een potentiële bron van verwarring voor investeerders.

Gary Cohn, the former president of Goldman Sachs and former chief economic adviser to Donald Trump, believes that Bitcoin may not hold long-term prospects for investors.

In an interview with Bloomberg released today, Cohn said that the crypto asset “lacks some of the basic integrity of a real market” due to its lack of transparency. He said that investors might question a system “that does not have an audit trail.”

“For all the reasons it’s a strong developing asset class, it may fail,” said Cohn regarding Bitcoin. “Part of the integrity of a system is knowing who owns it and knowing who has it and knowing why it’s being transferred.”

The former Goldman Sachs president has spoken about Bitcoin (BTC) and blockchain following his resignation from his position in the Trump administration in 2018. He has since joined the board of advisers of blockchain-related tech company Spring Labs.

In the months following the 2017 bull run, Cohn said that he was “not a big believer” in Bitcoin but still saw the potential of blockchain technology. At the time, Cohn believed crypto will play a role in the future of finance, but it would likely be a global token “more easily understood” than Bitcoin, citing mining costs as a potential source of confusion for investors.
