$BTC The #industriacripto has had a couple of years to forget, especially with the fall from grace of those who were, possibly, its two greatest exponents

While the founder of #FTX #SamBankman-Fried was found guilty of fraud and money laundering and awaits his sentence in prison, the CEO of#Binance@CZ pleaded guilty to the same crimes in #EstadosUnidos and retired from office, awaiting a sentence that could come in February 2024

With two almost fatal injuries in such a short time, it would not be unreasonable to think that #criptomonedas would be in the full stage of agony due to the distrust that is beginning to proliferate among its users.

For example, massive withdrawals from Binance amounted to almost $1 billion within days of the CZ withdrawal.

But there are signs that suggest that 2024 will have an upward trend

The first is temporality; Cryptocurrencies have had a bearmarket or bear market for two years, which could be described as the longest in the history of Bitcoin as it has lasted more than 500 days.

This suggests that the base price, which was between US$16,500 and US$17,000, is already history of the past and there are no reasons, both fundamental and technical, that would generate an equally close correction.

The second element is short-term and points to the expectation of approvals of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that allow capital to be injected into the amount of bitcoins required by the investment funds since the American multinational Blackrock announced an injection of more than US$15,000 million in the coming years for bitcoin, which generates an expectation of demand that in the short term will be seen in the price
