Latest news about Bitcoin and all cryptocurrencies. Your daily crypto news habit.
Bitcoin continues to prove its worth as the ultimate store of value, gaining widespread adoption in hundreds of countries globally. This pioneer cryptocurrency has successfully surpassed previous records to achieve new all-time highs in 14 different countries grappling with economic and financial crises.
Bitcoin Peaks In 14 Nations
In a recent X (formerly Twitter) post, crypto analyst and Bitcoin investor, Lark Davis revealed that Bitcoin has made new all-time highs in 14 countries. Lately, cryptocurrency has experienced exponential growth in both popularity and value, emerging as an alternative currency for individuals in nations struggling with the depreciation of their fiat currency.
According to Davis, “fiat currencies are collapsing.” This unfortunate development has been attributed to the high level of inflationary pressures and political instability experienced by most countries.
Among the 14 countries experiencing record-breaking BTC highs include Japan, Argentina, Laos, Congo, Ghana, Turkey, Burundi, Sudan, Lebanon, Malawi, Egypt, Pakistan, Sierra Leone, and Nigeria. The majority of these countries have been reportedly struggling with high inflation, leading to a decrease in the value of their fiat currencies.
Countries like Turkey and Nigeria have witnessed a dramatic devaluation in their fiat currencies. Even Japan known for its technological innovations and strong economic performance has seen a depreciation in their Yen against the United States dollar (USD).
The consistent devaluation of these nations’ currencies relative to the USD has significantly affected the standard cost of living for citizens. As a result, individuals are shifting to Bitcoin, seeking to leverage the digital currency’s robust financial technology and continuously rising value as a hedge against economic instability.
In response to the global shift towards this pioneer cryptocurrency, Bitcoin enthusiast, Balaji has disclosed that BTC has become an indispensable lifeboat within these 14 countries, housing over 1 billion people and boasting a combined Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of $7 trillion. Additionally, he underscored the negative effects the US dollar has inflicted on the fiat currencies of multiple nations over the years.
“The dollar is a vampire. It drains the life out of every other fiat currency. But then Bitcoin flips the dollar. Because since Bitcoin’s inception, USD has collapsed against BTC by six orders of magnitude. Just a few more to go,” Balaji stated.
Analyst Sets Sight On $200,000 BTC Price
Lately, Bitcoin bulls have been taking the lead, experiencing massive gains that have pushed its price closer to the $60,000 mark. Due to the unrelenting momentum in its price dynamics, Founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of 10T Holdings, Dan Tapiero has remained bullish on the cryptocurrency, predicting an exponential rise in Bitcoin’s price ranging from $150,000 to $200,000 in 2024.
The macro investor has stated that Bitcoin is up by almost 100% and is poised to jump even higher. According to the CEO, if Bitcoin manages to break through the $70,000 threshold, the cryptocurrency would ascend directly to $90,000, achieving an all-time high not witnessed since its inception.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $59,142, reflecting a 1.75% increase in the last 24 hours and a 10.21% rise over the past seven days, according to CoinMarketCap.
