Analyst: Investing in Ethereum Could Be More Profitable Than Bitcoin

Investing in Ethereum at its bottom could yield more returns than investing in Bitcoin, said Don Alt. The famous cryptocurrency analyst, who has 82.7k following on Twitter, claimed that his investment paid off when he bought Ether at $121.





While he didn’t specify the nature of his trade, he said his investment could return ten times more profit than bitcoin while still costing 1/3rd of the leading digital currency.
At the end of 2018, both Ether and Bitcoin established their so-called bottom levels. For ETH/USD, the new low was 83, according to BitFinex data.
 At the same time, the low for BTC/USD was 3,220. The cryptocurrency market, as a whole, is undergoing a weak upside correction ever since.
 At the press time, the ETH/USD rate has surged 55.42%, while BTC/USD has jumped 14.62%.
 That explains how Ethereum is recovering faster than Bitcoin – and why Don Alt is more bullish on the former.
I knew this was the company to bet on,” said Don Alt. “Their CEO Vitalik 100% knows what he’s doing.
” What’s Next for Bitcoin and Ethereum Bitcoin and Ethereum are walking in their separate directions this year.
 While the world’s leading digital currency is venturing into futures and ETF markets, Ethereum is attempting to find adoption among upcoming digital ledger-enabled projects.
 Steven Nerayoff, the co-creator of Ethereum, said that the growth of Ethereum as technology would be as high as the rise of FinTech across mainstream industries.
“You’re seeing a tremendous amount of growth across a wide variety of industries. Fintech is the natural area, but now you’re seeing it becoming increasingly more creative you find projects in the oil and gas industry, you’re finding government using it in their applications, you see it in gaming, all kinds of different areas,” Nerayoff explained. As for Bitcoin, analysts believe the digital currency’s recovery would be slower than the rest of the cryptocurrency market.
The only reason that explains the prediction is the bitcoin’s growing dependence on the mainstream financial players.
 Seeking Alpha’s Sandeep Singh Ahluwalia wrote that the global financial slowdown had a possible correlation with the price action of bitcoin. The financial expert said that investors were not ready to inject hard cash into the old and new market, which also include cryptocurrencies.
“Most investors will now want to invest their funds in more dependent and recession proof assets such as Gold.
 Hence, I expect fewer funds to flow into Bitcoin due to the tense political climate.”

What’s Causing the Current Bitcoin Crash and How Low Can it Go

Image
 Bitcoin’s price has been very bullish over the last couple of months. However, it is finally showing subtle signs of correction today. Therefore, it is worth analyzing the charts for potential support levels. Technical Analysis Bitcoin Price Analysis: The Daily Chart  On the daily chart, the price has been blowing past resistance levels one by one. Yet, today’s action has been very bearish, as the daily candle looks very bearish.   The price has dropped around 10% today before rebounding from the $40K support level. In case this level holds, it could initiate a rebound, and the market might rally toward the next significant resistance level, which is located at the $48K mark. On the other hand, a bearish breakout could result in a drop to the $38K and potentially the $31K zone.   BTC Price on The 4-Hour Chart The 4-hour chart demonstrates today’s decline much more clearly.

BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF Now Invites Participation From Wall Street Banks

Image
 A change to the structure of proposed spot bitcoin ETFs would enable authorized participants (APs) to create new shares in the fund with cash, rather than only with cryptocurrency, essentially opening the door to banks who cannot hold crypto directly. A change to the mechanics of BlackRock's proposed spot bitcoin (BTC) ETF opens the door for Wall Street banks, which face restrictions holding cryptocurrencies, to play a key role. BlackRock recently made it so authorized participants – a vital part of the ETF ecosystem – will be able to create new fund shares with cash, rather than only with cryptocurrency.   As highly regulated U.S. banks are unable to hold bitcoin themselves, this set-up would enable the likes of JPMorgan or Goldman Sachs – firms with some of the largest balance sheets in the world – to act as APs to BlackRock's ETF. (Whether they want to is another matter.) The cash APs use in this process can then be exchanged into bitcoin by an intermediary and warehoused ...
