About a month ago, I compiled an overview of the winners and losers of this new geopolitical conflict. Bitcoin featured very prominently among the list of winners back then, proving once again that the largest cryptocurrency usually weathers geopolitical developments quite easily. A month later, that is still the case. We also have a surprising […]
Bitcoin, which briefly dipped below $60,000 at the end of February, is up 20% since then and appears to have (probably) started a new bull run. Much depends on the negotiations between Iran and the United States, but be sure not to miss the upswing. I expect a small stop if $80,000 is breached in […]
The crypto market (just like global stock exchanges, for that matter) needs direction and signals from the White House that the war between the US and Iran is over. As that confirmation is lacking, larger investors eager to make a quick profit are clearly capitalizing on the need for volatility of smaller investors int eh […]
Donald Trump’s family has apparently made enough money from the crypto hype surrounding him, because the best-known Trump-related cryptocurrencies, Trump’s own memecoin and World Liberty Financial, are in free fall since the beginning of April. The rising volume and downward trend suggest that insiders are now exiting. WLFI Commentators in the United States claim that […]
Today is April 12th already, and the monthly return for Bitcoin is green with a gain of around 5%. If we can maintain this, it will be a second consecutive month, and Bitcoin will be well on its way to closing out ‘crypto winter’ and (normally speaking) preparing for a new long bull run. However, rising […]
While everyone probably expected some memecoins to emerge as the biggest weekly gainers following the fragile Iranian peace agreement, it turns out that privacy coins were the major winners once again. ZCash added no fewer than 60 percent in a single week and seems well on its way to match its record from last year. […]
Digital currencies are making global headlines again now that the regime in Tehran is accepting payment in crypto (or Chinese Yuan) for passage through the Strait of Hormuz. Payments are being made in either Bitcoin or USDT. It is unclear which crypto platform is processing the payments though. Iran demands $1 per barrel of oil […]
Last week, an old clip of John McAfee went viral on various social media platforms. In it, the (now deceased) antivirus mogul claimed that the Bitcoin founder had unwillingly revealed himself through the layout and style of his own Bitcoin White Paper. In it, all words that can be spelled in different American and English […]
Investors initially went risk-off on Tuesday as President Donald Trump’s ultimatum to Iran ticked away. When it emerged overnight that a two-week peace proposal is ready to be signed, Bitcoin suddenly shot up rapidly. All in all, the largest digital currency has performed quite well since the start of the war between the United States […]
The average XRP holder on the XRP Ledger is not in a comfortable position right now. Wallets that have been active over the past year are down an average of 41% on their investment. That is the lowest MVRV (Mean Value to Realized Value) level for XRP traders since the FTX collapse in November 2022. […]
