bitcoin’s Recent Rise Could Be Attributed to Rising Institutional Interest

Last year bitcoin, the most well-known and expensive of the cryptographic coins, touched $20,000. After that, however, it’s journey has taken a slight downturn. The fluctuating price of the pioneer cryptocurrency has been the talk of the market for months now, but over the period of these last seven days, the valuation of leading crypto has edged closer to the $10,000 mark. One big reason for this uptick comes from the introduction of more prominent investors and upgraded technology.

Speculating on Demographic of Speculators

Although there are multiple question marks behind the rise of bitcoin trading, the improvement of sheer fundamentals plays an integral role. The CEO of Brave New Coin Fran Strajnar, for instance, thinks improving the crypto’s lightning network and external influences are attracting the investors.

With Soros’ and the Rockefellers’ taking note of the digital currency ecosystem, it is safe to say that crypto is certainly on the rise. In addition to this, there’s also high chance of a bitcoin ETF being approved by the Securities and Exchanges Commission (SEC).

Responsible for macro investment in Soros’ New York-based Fund Management, Adam Fisher said that the multi-billion wealth management firm intends to set foot into trading digital assets very soon. The Rockefeller family isn’t far behind, either. The billionaires are looking to invest their wealth in startups that are issuing coins of their own. This move comes in the wake of the family’s partnership with CoinFund.

The likes of Goldman Sachs and Barclays are also testing the waters, with the former hiring Justin Schmidt as the head crypto trader and the latter announcing plans to create a crypto trading desk.

Rob Viglione from ZenCash, believes that investors are now re-entering the volatile market and the recent high indicates the same. Thanks to the plethora of information about the once unexplored domain, people are now aware of the significant gains that virtual currencies promise over the long haul.

Two Big Economies Losing the bitcoin Race

Taking a backseat to all the financial upheaval are India and China. bitcoin has been banned in India, owing to the judgment passed by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), which has been on the receiving end of some flak by many Indian crypto startups.

Close on its heels is China. Although the country remains the center point for blockchain technology, it is unsure about ICOs and everything surrounding the new funding model. Due to this pariah status, investors are looking elsewhere to invest – mainly Hong Kong and Singapore.

bitcoin Experiencing a Quick Pullback

At the time of writing, bitcoin and all alt-markets are seeing pullbacks – a healthy occurrence after a week of rising prices. BTC is reaching higher highs with each run after touching a support level of $9200. This detail indicates the return of favorable sentiments.

According to the author, once the psychological 10k barrier is broken, the market will see a lot of investors jumping in.

Antonopoulos On Trust: Fake News ‘Is About To Happen To Money’

Andreas Antonopoulos has predicted that the world’s money supply will suffer the fate of information in the fake news era.


Money To Get Its Fake News Moment

In a talk originally held April 11 but republished Saturday, Antonopoulos said that in light of the multiple currency failures seen in recent times, consumers no longer know what gives cash in their pockets value. During the discussion Antonopoulos commented:

blockchain training conference Antonopoulos

What’s really interesting is what just happened in [the] news that has left an entire generation of people now unable to discern truth from fiction, easily manipulated through propaganda […] What I’m going to suggest today is this is about to happen to money.

Just like the information consumer watching television or reading news sources online, the debate about whom to trust and whether the reputation of a source means that source can be considered reliable is now transferring to the financial sector.

…And bitcoin Is Already On Consumers’ Radar

Antonopoulos highlights the currency failures in countries including Zimbabwe, Venezuela, and Ukraine as prime examples of central banks failing to uphold the promise that cash will be worth approximately the same tomorrow as today.

One day, that phrase which seemed so meaningful and strong and satisfying – ‘the full faith and credit of the United States of America’ […] – compare it to this one: ‘the full faith and credit of the National Bank of Zimbabwe.’ […] That sentence no longer has much weight to it.

In terms of bitcoin’s role in providing a haven away from trusting third party authority, Antonopoulos used India’s increased interest in the virtual currency following demonetization of 86% of its cash supply last November.

bitcoin is not going after replacing national currency; […] it’s doing something far more dangerous: it’s encouraging people to put their savings outside the system.

Germany: ‘If You Think bitcoin Is Safe As Fiat, Take Responsibility’

For those reading the news a month after Antonopoulos’ words, a warning against using bitcoin, this time from Germany’s central bank, now strikes an altogether less sincere tone.

“From our perspective bitcoin does not constitute a suitable medium for storage of wealth,” Bundesbank board member Carl-Ludwig Thiele told German newspaper, Die Welt, last weekend. “Just one look at the highly volatile exchange rate demonstrates that.”

In further comments even more ironic in light of Antonopoulos’ words about trust, Thiele continued:

Carl-Ludwig Thiele

Whoever nonetheless thinks bitcoin is as safe as the euro or dollar must take responsibility for that. All we can do is warn people about using bitcoin as a means of wealth storage.
