From a whopping $400K Bitcoin price prediction to new adoption for XRP, here’s a look at some of the stories breaking in the world of crypto.
Bitcoin
The chief market analyst at ThinkMarkets UK says an end to crypto’s long winter is in sight.
According to Naeem Aslam, the fact that Bitcoin has officially ended its longest-ever monthly losing streak indicates the bear market is coming to an end. And if past is prologue, Aslam says an eventual BTC surge to $400,000 is a likely scenario.
“…there is a high chance that the next bull run has a minimum potential of pushing the price 5 times higher. That is over $100K. I personally believe that each Bitcoin can go up as much as $400K, and if history repeats itself, this number is not a fool’s paradise. This is a simple math calculation: approximate percentage projection of the price which we experienced during the last bull run.”
In the short term, some analysts are predicting a big move in the near future. Crypto trader DonAlt told his 86,000 followers on Twitter that Bitcoin could hit $4,500 on the upside or sink down to $3,500.
Ethereum
The founder of Ethereum development studio ConsenSys says he believes most of the world’s economy will run on blockchain technology within 10 to 20 years.
Speaking at SXSW in Austin, Texas, Joseph Lubin explained that the current number of people using blockchain in the real world is similar to the number of people who were using email in 1983.
