Altcoins Moon While Bitcoin is Stagnant

Hi Everyone,

Altcoins continue their surge with Ethereum and Dogecoin having huge gains. I’m an Ethereum holder and I’m certainly happy about the gains. I don’t hold any Dogecoins and I feel it is a very risky crypto to hold. However, we may see Dogecoin pump past $1 as Elon Musk is expected to talk about Doge in a skit on his Saturday Night Live appearance tonight. I’m happy for the folks who are making money on Doge but I worry about the crash that will come.

While Altcoins are out partying Bitcoin is at home watching TV and doing nothing really. However, as we’ve seen historically Bitcoin will eventually breakout to a new high. The next target is $70,000 - $75,000. Here is what PlanB, creator of the Stock To Flow model tweeted about Bitcoin’s current position.
