Bitcoin 2022 Price: $113,972!

Posted on by Wayne Burritt

While I’m not in love with price predictions, when I figured out a reasonable 2022 target for Ethereum (ETH), I have to admit I kinda enjoyed it.

So, I figured, why not kick off our first installment of 2022 with a bold prediction of where we think the price of Bitcoin (BTC) is headed over the next 12 months?

For this exercise, we'll ignore the fundamental factors that are in play behind these price movements. Instead, we'll just look at some charts, do a little math, and see where our BTC prediction journey leads us.

So, let's get started! Continue reading "Bitcoin 2022 Price: $113,972!" →

Top Cryptos vs. Bitcoin In 2021

Posted on by Aibek Burabayev

2021 is done, and we can check the performance of top cryptocurrencies compared with the main coin for the past year. I promised to build this leaderboard in my earlier post where I compared fiat currencies with gold.

The crypto universe repeatedly extends as new coins and tokens appear in the arena one by one. I put the top ten largest cryptocurrencies by the market cap against Bitcoin in this post. I skipped stablecoins and Shiba Inu coin as the latter has less than one year of history.

It was a good year for Bitcoin, gaining almost 60% against the U.S. dollar in 2021. However, in its own digital universe, it was the loser to all top cryptocurrencies, as you can see in the comparison above.

Let's check the top three leaders. Continue reading "Top Cryptos vs. Bitcoin In 2021" →

Our Greatest Crypto Hits Of 2021!

Posted on by Wayne Burritt

Don't blame me, but I couldn't resist the temptation of closing out 2021 with a list of crypto's 2021 greatest hits. While I came up with a bunch, I had to narrow it to three.

Enjoy!

Greatest Hit #1: Jaw-dropping Research

There's no doubt about it: One of the greatest crypto hits of 2021 had to be the two bombshell research reports from mainstream financial powerhouses.

The first from consultancy behemoth Deloitte surveyed executives from around the world and found that blockchain would fundamentally change the way they conducted their businesses. And this seismic shift wasn't happening 10 or 20 years down the road. Nope, these corporate heads saw the shift happening in the next 24 months.

And that wasn't all. A staggering 81% of the executives thought that blockchain was both scalable and adoptable. And that means that getting their businesses in the blockchain game was not only doable, but it could grow with their businesses. In fact, three quarters said they didn't have much of a choice: If they didn't get in the blockchain game, they were going to lose competitive advantage.

The New NFT ETF: Here's What It's All About

Posted on by Wayne Burritt

Let’s get right to it. In the third quarter of 2021, trading volume in NFTs (Non-fungible Tokens) hit a staggering $11 billion. That’s up 704% from the prior quarter and a mind-numbing 38,060% from the year-ago period.

That’s right: NFTs have grown 38,060% compared to 2020. And frankly, these nosebleed numbers took me by surprise.

To add even more bullish power, the first NFT-focused ETF, Defiance Digital Revolution ETF (NFTZ), just hit the streets.

These developments meant it was time to take another look at NFTs and what’s really under the hood of this brand new NFT ETF, the NFTZ.

If you missed my article in October about NFTs, take a look when you can. In the meantime, it won’t hurt to do a quick review of NFTs before we dive headlong into the nuts and bolts behind NFTZ.

What Is An NFT Again?

NFT stands for Non-fungible Token. And to understand what that means, you have to get your head around fungible and non-fungible. Continue reading "The New NFT ETF: Here's What It's All About" →

Ethereum 2022 Price Target: $27,884!

Posted on by Wayne Burritt

After Thanksgiving, I was perusing the crypto space and kept seeing 2022 price targets for Ethereum (ETH) that were frankly all over the place.

I saw everything from $5K, $6K, $7K, even $14K. And with a recent price of about $4,700, I figured that these nosebleed predictions were way too bullish. And that’s coming from someone who has sung Ethereum’s praises time and time again.

I couldn’t have been more wrong. After I did a little analysis, I came up with a 2022 price target for ETH that put even these huge predictions to shame.

The Outlook For Ethereum (ETH) Is Huge

First off, I don’t like price predictions. They don’t really mean much. And in my experience, they aren’t that reliable.

But they’re fun to play around with. So, as we set out on my quest to predict the price of ETH in 2022, take my analysis with a little tongue in cheek.

Now, down to business.

Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words... Continue reading "Ethereum 2022 Price Target: $27,884!" →
