Brace Yourself: Bitcoin Predictions that Might Just Make You Rich (or Not)

by

Ah, the illustrious Richard Teng, CEO of Binance, has graced the world with yet another Twitter gem about Bitcoin—the granddaddy of all cryptocurrencies. His latest epistle suggests an “upward momentum” for Bitcoin, advising nations and corporations alike to hop on the digital bandwagon before the train leaves the station, or risk paying top dollar later, darling.

procrastination may not just cost you your weekend—it might cost a fortune! 🤑

Countries and corporations that buy #Bitcoin early will benefit from the upward momentum.

Those who delay adoption risk paying a premium later.

Teng’s words arrive at a rather opportune moment, with Bitcoin fluttering like a butterfly, gaining traction amid a flurry of institutional interest. Yet, let’s not forget, dear reader, that the price has recently taken a bit of a tumble—plummeting nearly 21% from its dizzying height of $109,114 reached back in January. It’s almost as if Bitcoin is playing hide and seek with your wallet! 🐾

But worry not! Teng’s tweet serves as a delightful cocktail of market prediction and cautionary tale: early investors stand to win big, while the dawdlers may find themselves regrettably on the sidelines, clutching their purses a little tighter.

Institutional Interest is the New Black

As the ever-reliable UToday has noted, Bitwise data indicates that corporations currently possess about 688,000 Bitcoins—around 3.28% of the total supply, capped at a modest 21 million. Strategy, my dear, isn’t just a clever name; it’s absolutely smashing the competition, outperforming others by a stupendous margin.

Just last week, the fabulous Michael Saylor’s Strategy splurged an eye-watering $285.8 million on Bitcoin. Yes, from April 7 to April 13, they snapped up a staggering 3,459 Bitcoins at an average price of around $82,618. According to Bloomberg, they’ve dropped a cool $7.79 billion on Bitcoin this quarter alone. If only we could all have such delightful shopping sprees!

As I write this, Bitcoin has perked up slightly, enjoying a 0.71% bump in the last 24 hours—now sitting pretty at $85,816. A perfect time to reconsider those investment strategies, wouldn’t you say? 🍸
