Crypto Billionaire Predicts Massive Price Growth by 2021

Published

Crypto prices are once again going up, and Bitcoin has just passed a major resistance level at $6,000. With a situation like that, it is not surprising that everyone in the crypto community is looking forward to the future, wondering what to expect in years to come. Many experts have already given their predictions, some more optimistic than others, but almost all bullish.

Crypto billionaire Mike Novogratz has always been very supportive of cryptocurrencies, and very bullish on Bitcoin. He recently stated that he sees the coins’ prices triple in the following 18 months, meaning that Bitcoin’s return to $20,000 might not be far away, according to him.

He noted that Bitcoin is back to $6,000 after its price hit as low as $3,100 only a few months ago. These days, Novogratz does not believe Bitcoin will return to such lows unless there is a devastating exchange hack or a major shift in regulations. Of course, there was a big hack that had the potential to damage the coin’s price, only days ago. The world’s largest crypto exchange by trading volume, Binance, saw a significant security breach which resulted in a theft of 7,000 BTC.

However, so far, the coin did not react negatively to this incident. While Novogratz believed that such an event would shatter the new confidence in BTC, it simply did not happen. However, he commented on this saying that it is still a big issue for institutional investors, which are necessary in the crypto space in order for coins to reach the next step. He even urged exchanges to self-regulate and prevent such incidents in the future, as it will go a long way when it comes to convincing institutions that it is safe to join.

Of course, there are also those who still remain skeptical of Bitcoin, even after its grand return. Nouriel Roubini, known as “Dr. Doom,” is definitely among them. He still believes that Bitcoin is one of the biggest ‘bubbles and busts’ ever created, and his skepticism is only backed by the coin’s constant volatility.

Novogratz’s stock market warning

While as bullish on Bitcoin as ever, Novogratz also has deep concerns when it comes to the stock market, as he believes that overexuberance might be coming. According to him, the hype and enthusiasm around IPOs is a sign that an equity melt-up might be coming.

This comment was likely caused by Uber’s public IPO that is scheduled for Friday, with a goal of raising at least $9 billion. Then, there was Beyond Meat’s IPO, which brought a spike of 163% on its first day. Novogratz is worried that this is not a trend which would last. Indeed, similar happened to Bitcoin in 2017 and early 2018, which eventually led to a year-long bear market.

One theory regarding the potentially upcoming melt-up concerns the Federal Reserve. It is no secret that the US President Donald Trump urged the Fed to cut interest rates, and by a full percentage point, at that. This is not typically a move that would be made within a strong, healthy economy. Novogratz believes that this might be a catalyst that would bring the melt-up, but he also worries that things might not end there.

Novogratz is also not alone in this prediction, as another billionaire, Sam Zell, made a similar warning yesterday. He stated that following Trump’s instructions can only lead to a disaster — one which might severely damage the USD.

On the other hand, Trump’s campaign adviser, Stephen Moore, stated that the Fed’s decision to raise rates last year was a bad one. He, instead, urged the country’s central bank to lower the rates. He also supported tax cuts, even saying that they worked better than expected.

Hong Kong, Hong Kong, 25th January, 2021, // ChainWire //

Xeno Holdings Limited (xno.live ), a blockchain solutions company based in Hong Kong, has announced the listing of its ecosystem utility token XNO on the ‘Bithumb Korea’ cryptocurrency exchange on January 21st 2021.

Xeno NFT Hub (market.xno.live ), developed by Xeno Holdings, enables easy minting of digital items into NFTs while also providing a marketplace where anyone can securely trade NFTs.

The Xeno NFT Hub project team includes former members of the technology project Yosemite X based in San Francisco and professionals such as Gabby Dizon who is a games industry expert and NFT space influencer based in Southeast Asia.

NFT(Non-Fungible Token) technology has recently gained huge focus in the blockchain arena and beyond, making waves in the online gaming sector, the art world, and the digital copyrights industry in recent years. The strongest feature of NFTs is that “NFTs are unique digital assets that cannot be replaced or forged”. Unlike fungible tokens such as Bitcoin or Ether, NFTs are not interchangeable for other tokens of the same type but instead each NFT has a unique value and specific information that cannot be replaced. This fact makes NFTs the perfect solution to record and prove ownership of digital and real-world items like works of art, game items, limited-edition collectibles, and more. One of the ways to have a successful…

Should Crypto Projects Devote Resources to Community Growth and Marketing?

Published

on

2020 has been an incredible year for crypto as investors have generated windfall profits and crypto projects have seen their businesses gain the spotlight they’ve been looking for.  While Bitcoin has received most of the attention after major institutional investors announced they were accumulating the increasingly scarce asset, many altcoins have also seen their fair share of glory.  When looking at all the big winners of the past year, the first project that probably comes to mind is Chainlink, having appreciated by more than 550% YTD and now valued at over $4.5 billion.  But, the actual biggest winner of the year is HEX with a YTD return of over 5,000%.

I mention both of the above projects as they have each taken slightly different paths to achieve greatness.  Chainlink has devoted resources toward building a fundamentally sound business with many strategic partnerships while HEX has spent vast sums of money on marketing and promotion.  Both approaches are valid, but one thing is certain, it is absolutely imperative for crypto projects to let the crypto community know what makes them special.  Of course, one of the reasons that makes crypto so valuable is the powerful blockchain technology that most projects are utilizing.

Cryptocurrency vs. Blockchain Technology

It’s important to make a distinction between blockchain technology and cryptocurrency.  Although they are often used interchangeably, they are different.  Blockchain technology and crypto were both created after the 2008 financial crisis, but cryptocurrency…

He also added “This does not mean we will prohibit other types of NFTs from our ecosystem However, it simply means that XENO’s efforts as a company will be targeted into these verticals initially as a cohesive business approach.”

Development and Procurement Lead, Gabby Dizon explained, “Despite our initial focus, we found ourselves with a unique opportunity to host some of the works of Mr. Hiro Yamagata. We are collaborating with Japanese artist Hiro Yamagata to enshrine some of his artwork into NFTs.”
