Masters of Forecasts
Entrepreneur Robert Kiyosakipredicted a rise in Bitcoin to $1 million in the event of a global economic collapse. He cites the high US national debt as a possible reason for a crash in the global market. He did not specify how digital gold could be used in such a catastrophic scenario.
With a more conservative forecast Tom Lee, co-founder of Fundstrat, he predicts a Bitcoin price up to $180,000 on the condition that the SEC Bitcoin-ETF is approved.
As reported, on 15 August the British company Jacobi Asset Management launched the first Europe-listed Bitcoin-based ETF.
Donald Trump’s Wallet
The Arkham Intelligence linked a cryptocurrency wallet that has been receiving millions from selling NFT, to former US President Donald Trump and began tracking him.
In the context of the presidential race, more American politicians see the need to speak out in support of cryptocurrency. The most active supporters appear to be Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — Jr. and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
