From the first Bitcoin-themed hotel to robots using the IOTA tangle, here’s a look at some of the stories breaking in the world of crypto.
Bitcoin (BTC)
The founder of the cryptocurrency exchange BTCC says it’s only a matter of when, not if, Bitcoin will hit $60,000. Bobby Lee says the milestone will dramatically increase price stability and adoption, bringing Bitcoin’s total circulation value to $1 trillion.
When #Bitcoin passes the USD $60,000 price level in the coming years, it‘ll reach a total circulation value of $1 Trillion. That will be a huge #milestone for $BTC, and it‘ll lead to more price stability, higher global liquidity, and even faster adoption worldwide. #VirtuousCycle
