Bitcoin predicted to hit $ 100,000

By Moris Beracha.-

The beginning of 2018 was not successful for Bitcoin, after surpassing the meteoric value of $18,000 per token in December. In January, things changed when the price of the digital currency reflected a decrease and stop growing, sinking below $ 11,000. However, Kay Van-Petersen, the fintech specialist who predicted the bitcoin’s rally at the start of 2017, said the cryptocurrency could hit $ 100,000 in 2018.

Despite the abrupt fall, the analyst’s statements did not go unnoticed. Van-Petersen said that bitcoin could hit between $ 50,000 and $ 100,000, in 2018, reported La Nación de Argentina.

“First off, you could argue we have had a proper correction in bitcoin, it has had a 50% pull back at one point, which is healthy. But we have still not seen the full effect of the future contracts,” Van-Petersen told the US network CNBC. To reach the $ 100,000, bitcoin would need to rally over 700%.

Also, the analyst said that ethereum, which today is worth ten times less than bitcoin, although its market capitalization has accounted 50%, will have a superior performance. “Ehereum came after bitcoin; it has a more unified leadership than bitcoin. They seem to be a bit further along the way in regards to forming the solution to scaling issues,” he said.

Private Equity Avoids the Regulatory Limelight

The SEC this year has kept up a steady stream of actions against private-equity firms By Chris Cumming Evidence is building that the Securities and Exchange Commission has moved on from the era of trying to reform private equity through enforcement actions. The SEC last week released its strategic plan for the next four years, which offers an important window into how the commission views the markets and its role as regulator and enforcer. The plan is heavy on efforts to protect retail investors and adapt to changing technology, including issues like improving cybersecurity and tracing initial coin offerings. But it dedicates almost no time to private markets, institutional investors, or fee and expense abuses, areas that were often highlighted as priorities under the previous SEC regime. Instead, the SEC is focused on ways to protect retail investors, a point Jay Clayton has repeatedly emphasized since taking over as the regulator’s chairman last year. Goals in the ne...

Featured image courtesy of Shutterstock By Osato Avan-Nomayo Bitcoin price has risen dramatically in Iran following the government’s decision to grant legal recognition to the country’s cryptocurrency mining industry. Bitcoin Premium Comes to Iran While Bitcoin $6307.03 -0.04% suffered an almost $1,000 drop in the rest of the world, the top-ranked cryptocurrency was reaching new heights in Iran. Buoyed by the government’s legalization of cryptocurrency mining activities, the local price of BTC shot up to more than $26,000 on the localbitcoins platform for Iran. This figure amounts to more than four times than the average spot price around the world. However, there are counter reports that the $20,000+ BTC price in Iran is grossly exaggerated, with the actual value on the street being closer to $8,400. The confusion lies primarily in the difference between the official and black market exchange rial/dollar exchange rate. The license given to cryptoc...
