VeChain Price Resumes Bullish Trend as Community Tries to Educate Elon Musk

Vechain price resumes bullish trend as community tries to educate elon musk


When bitcoin goes in the red again, a sudden sea of bearish pressure emerges upon all alternative markets. Today is once again one of those days where no project seems to note real gains. One interesting exception is the VeChain price. Despite some hourly bearish pressure, its overall price trend remains intact.

VeChain Price Trend Trucks Along Nicely

It is always interesting to see how the different alternative markets handle bitcoin’s bearish momentum. As can be seen on the market cap tracking sites, most of them are not doing too well right now. In the top 15, VeChain is the only notable exception in this regard. Its uptrend is still intact, primarily because the altcoin continues to gain in BTC value.

Over the past 24 hours, the VeChain price has risen by 5% in USD value and nearly 6% in BTC value. Because of these gains, the VET price sits at $0.004547, or 115 Satoshi. That in itself is pretty remarkable for many different reasons, primarily because the overall industry trend is anything but positive or stable right now.

On social media, there is no shortage of people trying to explain the benefits of VeChain, Pablo Wilco goes as far as directly addressing Elon Musk in terms of using VeChain for Tesla-oriented ventures. A bit of a bold move first and foremost, although those who dare take some risks often achieve success. For now, musk has not responded to this “challenge” as of yet.


Scott has seemingly missed all of the recent crypto winter, for some unknown reason. While it is true VET hit an ATH that was much higher at one point, those days are long gone. The current value of below $0.005 is not instilling much confidence in that regard. However, it seems the ATH of $10 is not entirely accurate either. That figure only comes to surface where long-term price speculation is concerned.

Br1ght Eyes seemingly has no shortage of positive thoughts where the VET price is concerned. Although this token has yet to reach $0.005 again, this user expects the momentum to top out near $0.0053. A bold prediction, given the overall market momentum. Even so, if VeChain bucks the overall trend, that price point may not be ludicrous either.

For the time being, no one should dump everything into VeChain in search of quick profits. While the altcoin is still going strong, it seems unlikely it will buck the bearish pressure for a long time. Additionally, VET has rather bleak trading volume, which may prove insufficient to sustain the uptrend. Reaching $0.005 will seemingly not occur today.

Billionaire Mark Cuban Buys $20 in Bitcoin, Says It’s ‘In a Bubble’

American billionaire Mark Cuban took the bitcoin world by storm when he revealed his interest in the cryptocurrency and the possibility it may be a bubble.


Shark Calls bitcoin Bubble

Mark Cuban is, among other things, an American billionaire, businessman, investor and television personality. He is also known for being one of the main investors on the ABC reality television series, Shark Tank.

Yesterday, Cuban took the bitcoin world by storm when he tweeted about his new-found interest in the digital currency:

With an extensive resume in the business world and an estimated net worth of 3.4 billion dollars, it’s no wonder that Cuban’s interest in bitcoin has brought confidence to many traditional investors. However, Mark Cuban later tweeted his thoughts regarding a possible bubble in the current BTC price.

It is impossible to say with certainty if bitcoin is or isn’t in a bubble as signs pointing towards both possibilities are visible. Although the current price has made Cuban see signs of a bubble, he still recognizes the value in bitcoin as a decentralized payment system, stating:

I’m not questioning value. I’m questioning valuation.

So why is this important at all? Another person getting into bitcoin isn’t really groundbreaking and Cuban only bought $20 dollars worth in bitcoin to see how it works. 

However, it’s worth noting that Cuban’s visibility as a businessman and as a TV personality can go a long way in expanding Bitcoin’s outreach to traditional investors. Though, the most interesting part is that he wasn’t always a fan of bitcoin.

In a 2014, Mark Cuban told USA Today that despite being “great as an encryption technology,” he didn’t think bitcoin could make it as a global currency, stating:

I think it’s got no shot as a long term digital currency.

This means that bitcoin’s endurance as an immutable and decentralized payment system is starting to pay off,  revealing the true potential of bitcoin as a “long term digital currency.” Not only that, but the value of blockchain technology itself was also underlined in another one of Mark Cuban’s tweets:

The B-Word

While the focus created by this recent development has been received as a positive for bitcoin, it is also worth noting that the concerns of a possible cryptocurrency bubble are very real. So much so that some publications have even claimed that Cuban’s tweet regarding the possible bitcoin bubble made the price of bitcoin drop.

So, are we in a bubble? Mark Cuban isn’t the only ‘shark’ that believes this to be true.

Vinny Lingham, a South African Internet entrepreneur, co-founder & CEO of Civic, and one of the ‘sharks’ on the Shark Tank South Africa version, has expressed similar thoughts.

When asked if bitcoin is currently in a bubble, he stated:

Yes, but people who called the bubble in 2011 were wrong. It took two years to burst.

Although it’s impossible to point out a bubble with absolute certainty until it pops, one thing is clear: at 3 to 7 transactions per second, bitcoin is nowhere near ready to be adopted by the mainstream as a global digital currency.

If scaling can be achieved, however, there is no telling how high bitcoin can go.
