The Price Plunge: What’s Happening with Bitcoin?
It’s been a nerve-wracking week for Bitcoin enthusiasts as the cryptocurrency took a nosedive, slipping more than 8 percent and falling below the $10,000 mark for three days in a row. This dramatic dip has left many investors scratching their heads and wondering if it’s time to panic or party. According to crypto analyst Willy Woo, there might be a silver lining. The NVT ratio and other on-chain indicators suggest that a bullish wave could be on the horizon. Meanwhile, Su Zhu from Three Arrows Capital confidently argues that Bitcoin is more likely to surge to $100,000 than plummet to $5,000. Those are some bold claims for a volatile market!

The 18-year-old college freshman apparently feels that his father’s decades of investment experience can’t compete with his own youthful exuberance. When Twitter was asked to choose between the student who’s never held a job and the veteran investor, the social media crowd rallied behind the Bitcoin fan. You know things are interesting when family squabbles can also be a barometer for crypto sentiment!

In what may seem like a dystopian twist, a new token called GoodDollar aims to provide daily amounts of basic income to users. Perhaps Andrew Yang would approve? In unrelated news, a Twitter user named Alon Gal claimed to own a wallet containing 69,000 Bitcoins. The catch? He can’t remember the password! Maybe it’s time to try the classic “password123.” Meanwhile, decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) have exploded in popularity, increasing by a staggering 660 percent in just a year.
Blockchain Ventures and Scams in the Spotlight
On the more corporate side of things, Starbucks is making strides toward transparency with plans to deploy blockchain technology for tracing its coffee beans. In contrast, the Texas State Securities Board has identified new cryptocurrency scams, with alleged operators facing lengthy prison sentences. Not to be outdone, YouTube has suspended Sunny Decree’s crypto livestream for violating their policy on “harmful and dangerous” content. Seems like the tech giants are keeping their eyes peeled as the crypto world continues to evolve.
