Bitcoin Tapping Into $84,000,000,000,000 Market, BTC Adoption Now Overwhelming: Billionaire Mike Novogratz.
Galaxy Digital chief executive Mike Novogratz believes that Bitcoin now has access to an $84 trillion market following the approval of BTC spot market exchange-traded funds. Speaking at the Bitcoin Investor Day event in New York, the billionaire says BTC is witnessing a dramatic increase in adoption with the launch of the ETFs. He also says that ETF salesmen will have no problem selling Bitcoin to participants of the $84 trillion market due to the mountain of debt accumulated by the US government. “Right now, adoption is way overwhelming because we’ve just tapped into [a new market]. So here are the numbers: there’s $84 trillion of wealth – trillion – owned by US baby boomers. Baby boomers are broadly 60 to 80 years old… They broadly invest through registered investment advisors. You call your broker at Dean Witter or Morgan Stanley or AJ Edwards and say, ‘Hey, what’s my portfolio? Put a little bit here.’ That is the ETF process and it has just started. And so early, big adoption, a lot of the smaller platform regional brokers have been buying, but a lot of the big platforms like Morgan Stanley, they’re still not selling yet. They are going to, they’re getting prepared to. You can buy it on their platform but their salesmen aren’t selling it. One thing I’ve learned about Bitcoin: it’s always sold, it’s not bought. Somebody sits down and explains it to you. What’s the macro story of Bitcoin? It’s relatively simple: our government can’t keep its pants on and is spending too much money. When you spend more money than you take in, you depreciate your currency.” At time of writing, the US national debt is sitting at $34.578 trillion. #BTC #bitcoin #Write2Earn

Bitcoin price edges toward Q2 at $70K with all-time highs a key focus Bitcoin needs to retain $69,000 into the multiple BTC price candle closes this weekend, says analysis. Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed old all-time highs at $69,000 forming tentative BTC price support into the weekend. Bitcoin gained around $1,000 in the latter part of the day, seemingly aided by comments from Jerome Powell, Chair of the United States Federal Reserve. Speaking in an interview at the Macroeconomics and Monetary Policy Conference in San Francisco, California, Powell appeared cool on both inflation and the economic outlook. The Fed, he stressed, was not in a hurry to enact Interest rate cuts — a key event for risk assets. “Growth is strong right now, the labor market is strong right now and inflation has been coming down,” he said.

April Will Be a ‘Very Interesting Month’ for Bitcoin and Crypto, Says Benjamin Cowen – Here’s What He Means
Analyst Benjamin Cowen is putting out his forecast for Bitcoin (BTC) and the crypto market over the coming month. Cowen tells his 796,000 YouTube subscribers in a new video that he thinks “April is going to be a very interesting month” for the crypto industry. “I expect a ton of volatility in April especially as alt/Bitcoin pairs are starting to roll over, especially as Bitcoin dominance is potentially starting to break out.” Bitcoin is trading at $70,083 at time of writing. According to Cowen, the sentiment in the market will turn bearish if Bitcoin dominance (BTC.D), which measures Bitcoin’s share of the crypto markets, rises by a little over five percentage points from the current level. In a bearish environment, a rising BTC.D suggests that altcoins are losing value faster than Bitcoin. “We are getting pretty close. The range here that we’re looking at is 55.3%. So above 55.3%, that could be the warning sign. That could be the risk-off signal for the summer. And that’s what I would be looking at going into the summer months.” The Bitcoin dominance level is at 49.6% at time of writing. The widely followed analyst says that whether Bitcoin peaks early during this cycle (left-translated peak) or peaks more than a year after the halving (normal cycle peak), will likely be determined by US monetary policy. #BTC #Write2Earn #halving2024
