Bitcoin has been trending in recent news due to multiple factors, including the movement of $240M worth of cryptocurrency tied to the Silk Road, the result of a long-drawn legal case, to Coinbase by the US Government. This stirred instability in the crypto market given its consequent influx of sell-orders, leading to Bitcoin's value falling momentarily. Concurrently, customer repayments related to the Mt. Gox case, an earlier Bitcoin exchange that failed, causing sizeable losses, seems to be inducing anxiety among Bitcoin investors whilst the potential approval of Ether ETFs poses new market dynamics.
Controversially, Trump appears to be in dialogues to address the Bitcoin convention, seemingly going against President Biden's reported 'hostile stance' towards Bitcoin. This political influence on Bitcoin is spotlighted in the crypto asset's utilization in political war chests and the proposal of bills permitting Bitcoin tax payments.
Renowned author Robert Kiyosaki, amidst Bitcoin's volatility, encourages holders to remain steadfast, likening the current phase to a 'Banana Zone', and expressing intentions to acquire more Bitcoin during dips. Other personalities, such as Julian Assange's family, are leveraging Bitcoin for fundraising purposes.
Projections for Bitcoin's future are mixed, with analysts positing scenarios of a further dip to rocky price continuance and technical analyses suggesting possible bearish dominance. Amid such uncertainty, Bitcoin miners continue to diversify their revenue streams, thus leading to speculation around Bitcoin's sustainability. Insight into this tumult is offered by acknowledging Bitcoin's derivatives approaching 'quadruple witching' volatility due to imminent quarterly options expiry. Nonetheless, banks such as Nubank are increasingly adopting Bitcoin products, implying sustained faith in Bitcoin's potential irrespective of short-term volatilities.
