Image
Bitcoin [BTC], the world’s largest crypto asset has witnessed impeccable growth in terms of both adoption and price. Despite 2022’s slump, the community seems optimistic about the asset hitting greater heights. Back in 2021, during the peak of BTC, prominent asset manager Fidelity made a highly bullish prediction about Bitcoin. However, the current scenario raises the question of whether this forecast remains valid and applicable. Fidelity’s Prediction for Bitcoin Jurrien Timmer, the Director of Global Macro at Fidelity, put forth the notion that Bitcoin has the potential to reach a value of $1 billion in roughly two decades, specifically around the year 2038. To support his forecast, Timmer employed a combination of models and charts, with a particular focus on the stock-to-flow model and his own demand model. These analytical tools formed the foundation of his primary prediction. Source The above demand model employs Metcalfe’s Law. According to this, “the number of its users g

Join Our Telegram channel to stay up to date on breaking news coverage The value of Pepe coin (PEPE) has dropped by more than 10% in the past day, indicating that it is becoming less appealing to investors. Pepe is now failing despite the market being on an upward trend. Even when Bitcoin started to make a rebound over the course of the past 36 hours. PEPE coins drop quickly and appear to be losing popularity Pepe’s trading volume has dropped from an average of $250 Million 7 to 10 days ago to an average of $133 Million in the last 3 days. This is extremely similar to what occurred with Luna Classic following its last massive pump, which finished in September 2022.

Nvidia Stocks Soar 195%, Proving Crypto Skeptic Jim Cramer Wrong

In a surprising turn of events, Nvidia (NVDA) has defied the pessimistic predictions of renowned financial commentator Jim Cramer, who also is a vocal critic of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. Cramer had advised investors to short Nvidia in September 2022, labeling the stock a loser. However, since his bearish statement, Nvidia’s stock has experienced a remarkable surge, climbing an astonishing 195%. A Reddit account associated with the Wall Street Bets community recently resurfaced Cramer’s negative sentiment towards Nvidia, attaching a short video from a TV presentation where he explicitly recommended shorting the company. The post gained significant attention and sparked discussion among Redditors, highlighting Cramer’s flawed assessment in light of Nvidia’s remarkable performance. Adding to the chipmaker’s triumph, Nvidia reported impressive first-quarter earnings that exceeded Wall Street estimates, causing its stock to surge by over 25% during extended trading.

Image
The founder of Digital Bitcoin Art and Assets believes that smart contracts on Bitcoin could solve the myriad problems created by Ordinals. Gideon Nweze, the founder and CEO of the newly launched Digital Bitcoin Art and Assets (DIBA) nonfungible token (NFT) marketplace, believes there’s an alternative way to bring NFTs to Bitcoin that doesn’t impact block space and transaction fees. Nweze recently put this belief to the test, launching a beta version of his NFT marketplace on May 19. Rather than using Ordinals, it leverages the RGB Smart Contract Protocol to mint NFTs on top of the Bitcoin (BTC) network. Since the introduction of Ordinals Protocol in January, Bitcoin-based NFTs and tokens have exploded in popularity, with more than 9 million total “inscriptions,” according to data from Dune Analytics. However, the rise of Ordinals has also invited its fair share of controversy, including its purported impact on block space and transaction fees. The total number of Ordinals inscription
