Bitcoin price BOOST: CEO claims 'Cryptocurrency game hasn't even started yet'

-
’s price has plunged by around $25billion in the past 24 hours and the cryptocurrency seems set to suffer more disappointing days on the markets.
But Ran Neuner, CEO of OnChain Capital, told CNBC bitcoin will come back to hit the high-value levels reached in 2017.
He said: “I’ve been tracking bitcoin since last year and it went up from $17,500 up to $20,000 in anticipation of the futures.
“The futures were kind of an un-event. The event was the momentum play when people started to get into cryptocurrencies.
“So you had these people, these retail investors, getting into cryptocurrency for possibly the wrong reasons.
“They got into it because of the fear of missing out, they got into it because they wanted to make the money without understanding the technology. And the market went up.
“But then the market started to come down and everyone who didn’t understand the technology turned around and said ‘hold on, why are we actually back here?’
“I’m expecting the market to hover here for a little bit, a little bit nervous. And then I’m expecting some kind of something to bring up the green candle and that will start the momentum back up again.
“Bitcoin is a store of value but it’s a new store of value and there’s not massive market adoption yet. And as we get mass market adoption then we can expect for it to become the universal store of value.
The cryptocurrency expert claimed the only reason bitcoin is yet to become the universal store of value it is set to be, is because the technology behind cryptocurrencies is not ready yet.
He said: “I always say, if we were going out to run a marathon, we’ve just parked our car and picked up the goody bag, we haven’t even got to the start line of cryptocurrency.
“The technology isn’t ready to go mainstream yet. It’s very hard to open an account, it’s unscalable.“So, yes there is a new digital gold, a new digital store of value, I think bitcoin is the store of value, but the game hasn’t even started yet.”
According to Coindesk at 10:54 pm on February 2, bitcoin price is $8,762.15, while its competitor is valued at $

Can Litecoin (LTC) Overthrow Bitcoin with Amazon?

Why Amazon and Litecoin (LTC)? If you are following up with the latest news about the world of cryptocurrencies, you could have picked up the news that Kakao, which is Korea’s largest tech and messaging online platform, started to adopt cryptocurrencies. Since Kakao is the equivalent to Facebook and somewhat Amazon as well, it is expected from these services to have at least a minor comeback regarding the story of adopting and accepting cryptos. However, we know that Facebook announced weeks ago that all ads related to cryptocurrencies will be banned on Facebook as of June, so you can take the liberty of expelling Facebook from this equation, as this social media platform is obviously not sharing the same opinion that Kakao representatives have regarding cryptocurrencies. Moreover, if we get a few weeks back, there is also that scandal revolving around Facebook with allegations that this company is making a lot of money by using personal information uploaded on ...

U.S. households likely owe $25 billion in capital gains taxes for their cryptocurrency holdings, which could result in "massive" selling of the digital currencies into U.S. dollars by the mid-April tax filing deadline, one Wall Street analyst said. "This is a massive outflow from crypto to USD and historical estimates are each $1 of USD outflow is $20-$25 impact on crypto market value," Thomas Lee, head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors, said in a Thursday report. Formerly chief equity strategist at J.P. Morgan Chase, Lee is the only major Wall Street analyst to formally cover bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. "Additionally, we believe there is selling pressure by crypto exchanges who are subject to income tax in U.S. jurisdictions," Lee said. "Many exchanges have ...

Bitcoin price: Cryptocurrency expert reveals THIS reason why bitcoin could soon RALLY

Bitcoin price took a hit in January after banks and officials faced increased pressure to regulate cryptocurrencies, but Pantera Capital CEO Dan Morehead thinks the worst is over for the cryptocurrency . Speaking on CNBC , Mr Morehead said: “Bitcoin has been growing at 165 percent a year for the six years that we have been in business. And something that is growing that fast hardly ever gets down below its 200-day moving average. “When it does it is a very good time to buy. It did five years ago when we launched our first fund and it just crossed that earlier in April.” He added: “Technical traders use these different averages to decide when to get in. “But it is amazing that bitcoin gets up so much   quickly   and when it just gets back to its average, that means it is time to buy again because it has been a vertical line for eight years.” Mr Morehead said he thinks there is a “rare opportunity” in bitcoin’s price decline since January. He said: “In   D...
