The largest cryptocurrency, both in terms of price as well as market cap, Bitcoin [BTC] has witnessed nothing less than a roller coaster ride. The king coin has been experiencing high volatility causing a commotion in the crypto industry. While several decided to sell, many crypto personalities preferred to stay patient, banking on a further rise. At the time of writing, the coin was trading for $39,630 and had surged over 14.53% in just a day.
Lauding this price change, the Winklevoss twins, Peter Schiff, and several others took to Twitter. Prominent entrepreneur, Michael Saylor went on to compare Bitcoin to electricity and said:
“Powering your treasury with #Bitcoin is like powering your home with #Electricity.”
Gemini’s CEO, Tyler Winklevoss recalled the market sentiment and urged people to remain focused instead of listening to “noise”.
The king coin has been receiving an array of appreciation with tech entrepreneurs such as Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey praising Bitcoin in his tweets in a thread justifying Trump’s ban. But the real question is if Bitcoin would continue its hot streak or fail trying to reach – or even surpass – its recent all-time high.
