The past week has seen a multitude of developments in the crypto landscape, with a particular shine on Bitcoin. Elon Musk reiterated his faith in Bitcoin by forewarning a collapse of the US Dollar, spurring wild price predictions. Rep. Sheri Biggs publicized her investment in bitcoin through BlackRock bitcoin ETF, valued up to $250,000, while Strategy, led by Michael Saylor, mulls over Bitcoin-backed credit instruments. Interestingly, crypto-linked stocks outperformed Bitcoin this week. Charles Schwab plans to directly compete with Robinhood by introducing Bitcoin and ether trading.
Bitcoin price peaked at a two-month high amid Middle East Deal optimism but fell to $76,000 after Iran closed Hormuz. An astronomical buying spree by Epic Strategy nudged Bitcoin's price, and current predictions suggest a reach of $140,000 within the year. A lack of a bear market bottom indicator leaves room for speculation, but Iran's strategic interest and Strategy's $1 Billion Bitcoin buy seem promising.
Criticisms come from the 'O.C. Guy' alleging Bitcoin being a Ponzi scheme and threats of theft from quantum computers. Meanwhile, diverse prospects from Goldman Sachs filing for their first Bitcoin ETF to murmurs about Satoshi Nakamoto's wealth being locked, continue to add to Bitcoin's enigma.
