Patience is the Key

Bitcoin threw us a curve ball by having a pullback instead of breaking upwards to $75,000. It is building support levels at the $58,000 price point which is healthy for its growth overtime.

However, from a macro level we are looking very bullish. PlanB’s stock to flow model(S2F) is on track and in fact the S2FX is looking like the stronger scenario with Bitcoin potentially hitting $288,000 later this year.

Dan Morehead’s price prediction chart is ahead right now and he is looking for a $115,000 Bitcoin price by August of this year. Watch my interview with Dan where he talks about this price prediction.

Patience is the key here as Bitcoin makes it way upwards and the altcoins follow.

Most bullish news from this week

• Morgan Stanley becomes the first major U.S. bank to offer its wealthy clients access to Bitcoin funds. Two of the funds on offer are from Galaxy Digital, a crypto firm founded by Mike Novogratz, while the third is a joint effort from asset manager FS Investments and bitcoin company NYDIG. This is huge news and very bullish as it shows the mega banks can no longer ignore Bitcoin and the crypto market anymore.(source)

• Deutsche Bank puts out a report stating Bitcoin is “too important to ignore” given its $1 trillion market capitalization. It seems every bank is turning bullish and this follows the trend of positive statements from the likes of JP Morgan, Citi, Goldman Sachs and more. (source)

Interview Recap

I had a great interview with Ripple CTO David Schwartz this week. He and the team at Ripple continue to work on great solutions with XRP and the XRP ledger. What is interesting is Ripple’s plan to have Private Ledgers built for Central Banks to launch their CBDCs on. These Private Ledgers will be powered by the same blockchain technology as Ripple's public XRP Ledger (XRPL). David ties it all together and explains how XRP will be be used as a bridge asset and much more.

Interviews scheduled for next week (3/22-3/26)

• Diogo Monica - Co-founder and President of Anchorage

  

• Congressman Warren Davidson - Crypto advocate and creator of the token taxonomy act

  

• Attorney Jeremy Hogan - We will discuss his take on the SEC lawsuit against Ripple, XRP, and Crypto regulations.
