Bloomberg’s Surprising Shift
It appears that the skeptics are softening like butter on a hot skillet. In a recent article, Bloomberg, a bastion of traditional finance cynicism, acknowledged a shift in the Bitcoin narrative. This time, it’s not just “another day, another dollar,” but a deeper and more liquid Bitcoin market!
Key Metrics Indicating Growth
Bloomberg laid out several metrics that suggest Bitcoin’s promising trajectory:
- Record-high Bitcoin futures open interest
- Increasing number of non-zero wallets
- Steady hash rate
- Irrelevance of Bitcoin’s correlation with macro assets
These indicators collectively punctuate that the current bull run is fundamentally different from the 2017 spectacle. Even after the $3,000 price drop, Bitcoin’s fundamentals remain robust.
The Call from Crypto Experts
Crypto aficionados are proclaiming, “It’s different this time!” Regular contributor and crypto enthusiast Mati Greenspan emphasizes the improvements in the Bitcoin network since its last major peak. He remarked, “The last time we saw Bitcoin get this high, the blockchain was close to collapsing, but the network has had improvements since then.”
What Does the Future Hold?
Antoni Trenchev, the CEO of Nexo, is looking toward the horizon with optimism, predicting that Bitcoin could hit new all-time highs as soon as 2020 wraps up. He quipped, “If Bitcoin captures just 10% of gold’s market cap, we will be at $50,000 in no time.” Talk about aiming for the stars!
Bitcoin vs. Gold: The Battle of the Titans
Mike McGlone from Bloomberg Intelligence has also thrown his hat in the ring, suggesting that Bitcoin is increasingly encroaching on gold’s territory. His observations highlight an undeniable trend: Bitcoin is gaining traction over gold in terms of investment flows. With Bitcoin’s year-to-date returns soaring at 135%, compared to a measly 19% for gold, it’s safe to say that Bitcoin could indeed be the new gold standard—pun intended.
The People Have Spoken
The overall consensus leans toward acceptance of Bitcoin as a serious asset. While the institutional love affair grows, retail investors are also joining the party, predicting a bullish future for Bitcoin. As we watch this complicated dance of digital assets continue, the only question left is: Are you ready to cha-cha with Bitcoin?
