Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) Executive Chairman Michael Saylor laid out a new logic for cryptocurrency accumulation in a recent post. According to him, Bitcoin’s breakthrough lies in the ability to “convert economic energy into digital form and securely bind it to a person, family, company, machine, or state.” This statement immediately explains the changes taking place

Veteran trader Peter Brandt’s earlier bearish Bitcoin call is facing a reality check after the largest cryptocurrency by market cap staged a sharp rebound and moved well above the $58,000–$62,000 zone he had previously identified as a potential downside target.

Speaking on the Milk Road Show, Duong said his outlook has moved higher in recent weeks. He said he had
A rare Bitcoin ($BTC) bull market signal has emerged after the cryptocurrency posted one of its strongest weekly gains in recent years, raising speculation that a new market cycle may already be underway.

The last 24 hours were probably the most volatile. Technically, Bitcoin rose more than 25% this week, and its highest wick nearly touched the $80k level.
