Earlier this week, Mt. Gox transferred close to $6 billion worth of Bitcoin to crypto exchanges, which will then distribute the funds among Mt. Gox creditors and traders. Those people were hit by a massive funds loss as a result of a hack in 2014. The exchange became nonfunctional after that. One of those exchanges, the U.S.-based platform Kraken, announced that it had received part of that Bitcoin and intends to send it to Mt. Gox customers within a week or two. The results of the poll, however, mirror the opinion recently shared by Bitcoin advocate and Jan3 chief executive Samson Mow. He tweeted that he believes only about 20% of that crypto will hit the market.#Mt_Gox_BTC_Dip #BinanceTurns7 #BinanceTournament #Write2Earn!
During a recent interview with Bloomberg, Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JP Morgan, reiterated his long-held belief that Bitcoin is a โpublic decentralized Ponzi scheme." Dimon expressed his skepticism about Bitcoin's potential as a currency, stating that he has always maintained his view that it lacks prospects in that regard. In addition, Dimon called Bitcoin a fraud, saying, โif you mean crypto like Bitcoin, Iโve always said itโs a fraud.โ However, he did acknowledge the value of blockchain technology and smart contracts, recognizing their potential applications. Dimon clarified that if a cryptocurrency can offer something useful like smart contracts, which hold inherent value, then blockchain technology has a purpose. He said: โto the extent crypto is accessing certain blockchain things, that might have some value.โ
While Dimon sees potential in blockchain and smart contracts, he has consistently criticized Bitcoin, associating it with illicit activities such as anti-money laundering, and terrorism financing. He has previously stated that if these negative use cases cannot be resolved, regulators should intervene and shut down Bitcoin. However, this would be a challenging task considering the widespread network of over 20,000 Bitcoin nodes currently operating.
Despite Dimon's critical stance on Bitcoin, JP Morgan has become an "authorized participant" in several spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) offered by BlackRock, Invesco/Galaxy Digital, and Fidelity. In a report released in December, a JP Morgan analyst expressed doubts about the long-term impact of Bitcoin ETFs on the market and predicted that Ethereum would outperform Bitcoin in 2024.
As Shiba Inu bleeds, dogwifhat gains bullish momentum and rises by more than 3%.
Bearish sentiment around WIF was dominant despite the price rise.
While most cryptos, including trending meme coins, bled,ย dogwifhat [WIF]ย performed differently as its price chart turned green in the last 24 hours.
On the other hand,ย Shiba Inu [SHIB], the second-largest meme coin, was down by over 7% during the same period.ย
WIFโs recovery looks remarkableย
After a sharp drop on the 14th of April, WIFโs price gained bullish momentum and quickly recovered.
Though the meme coinโs price had fallen by more than 20% last week, it was among the handful of cryptos that managed to push its price up by over 3% in the last 24 hours.
According toย CoinMarketCap, at the time of writing, WIF was trading at $2.81 with a market capitalization of over $2.8 billion.
Unlike WIF, SHIB remained bearish. The meme coinโs value sank by over 7% in the last 24 hours. At press time, it was valued at $0.00002232 with a market cap of $13.15 billion.
Not only did WIF outshine SHIB on the price
Whatโs going on with Shiba Inu?
While most metrics looked bullish on WIF, the same canโt be said for Shiba Inu. AMBCryptoโs analysis of Santimentโs data pointed out that SHIBโs MVRV ratio dropped.
Meanwhile, its NVT Ratio spiked, suggesting that SHIB was overvalued. This can cause the meme coinโs price to plummet further.
Nonetheless, SHIBโs Supply on Exchanges dropped, indicating buying pressure on it was high.ย Please do well to give a tip. The tip will go along way to help restore the internet and teach crypto trading. Thanks #write2earn๐๐น
