The latest news comes shortly after Nifty Gateway announced the auction of the Roiland collection on January 13th. The co-creator of Rick and Morty is apparently one of the first to adopt Bitcoin (BTC), as he publicly approved cryptomonance in 2015.

• Justin Sun è andato su Twitter questa settimana per verificare le credenze di molte persone sul fatto che Warren Buffett non possiede beni crittografici. 

• Sun ha chiarito che possiede un bitcoin e oltre 1 milione di Tron.

Il fondatore della nota piattaforma di crittografia e del progetto Tron, Justin Sun, è andato su Twitter all’inizio di questa settimana per verificare le convinzioni di molte persone sul fatto che l’investitore miliardario Warren Buffett non possiede beni crittografici. Sun ha chiarito che possiede un bitcoin e oltre 1 milione di Tron.

Molte persone in tutta l’industria dei crittografi non credono che Warren Buffett non possieda alcun bene digitale, dato che è un noto critico del settore da molto tempo. Tecnicamente però, secondo l’amministratore delegato di Tron, possiede un po‘ di criptovaluta, come si può vedere dal suo tweet di cui sopra.

Verso l’inizio dello scorso anno, il capo del Berkshire Hathaway ha chiarito che non possiede alcun asset digitale e non lo farà mai, mentre parlava con la CNBC in un’intervista.

Il motivo è che, secondo lui, i cripto-asset non producono nulla e non hanno alcun valore intrinseco.

Un commento ben noto di Buffett è stato quello di paragonare il bitcoin al „veleno per topi“.

Il fatto che un critico di bitcoin così noto possa continuare a possedere proprio ciò che critica è a dir poco ironico. Nel febbraio dello scorso anno, l’amministratore delegato di Tron ha annunciato di aver regalato a Warren Buffett circa 2 milioni di gettoni nella sua pedina nativa. Un utente ha reagito al tweet di cui sopra dicendo che il prezzo di questi gettoni è aumentato significativamente da quando gli sono stati dati.

Bitcoin shows no signs of slowing down: trading over the weekend sent the cryptocurrency’s price soaring, now headed toward $30,000

Bitcoin’s (BTC) dizzying Christmas rally continues: today, the cryptocurrency crossed the $27,000 wall. In addition, BTC’s market capitalization exceeded $500 billion for the first time.

Bitcoin’s capitalization exceeds $500,000,000.

Bitcoin’s new record comes just three days after the resistance at $24,000 was broken: this means that Bitcoin’s price has doubled in the last two months, as well as increased by almost $10,000 in December alone.

Bitcoin’s capitalization is now over $510 billion, just shy of Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway, the tenth largest company in the world. Only yesterday, BTC had surpassed Visa’s capitalization.

The weekend surge put Bitcoin’s price above the average trend line of the popular Stock-to-Flow model (at about $24,900), which predicts a target of $100,000 by December 2021.

At the same time, the current bullish cycle looks very different and far more sustainable than the 2017 cycle, with many experts predicting further rises in the coming months. The reasons for this optimism are manifold: huge institutional buying, stronger fundamentals, less available supply on exchanges and interest from retail buyers still relatively low.

However, the possibility of a pullback in the short term cannot be ruled out, especially since the next resistance seems to be positioned at $30,000.

Michaël van de Poppe, analyst at Cointelegraph Markets, warned traders:

„Vertical movements often end with a big correction, remember the summer of 2019? These rapid contractions are necessary to establish a range of horizontal movements.

Do not dismiss everything at the first correction, this bull market will last a long time. You should have a long-term horizon.“
