Bitcoin and select altcoins remain under pressure as bounces off support levels are being sold into. Investors have faced a tumultuous year in 2022 as stocks, bonds, and the cryptocurrency sector have all witnessed sharp declines. As of Nov. 30, the performance of a traditional portfolio comprising 60% stocks and 40% bonds has been the worst since 1932, according to a report by Financial Times. The next big question troubling crypto investors is whether the pain in Bitcoin (BTC) is over or will the downtrend continue in 2023. Analysts seem to be divided in their opinion for the first quarter of the new year. While some expect a drop to $10,000 others anticipate a rally to $22,000. Daily cryptocurrency market performance.

Bitcoin price would surge past $600K if 'hardest asset' matches gold

Image
The coming decade could be Bitcoin's time to copy gold's 1970s breakouts, says Capriole Investments. Bitcoin (BTC) is due to copy gold’s explosive 1970s breakout as it becomes the world’s “ hardest asset ” in 2024. That was one forecast from the latest edition of the Capriole Newsletter, a financial circular from research and trading firm Capriole Investments. Bitcoin due big moves "and more" in 2020s Despite BTC price action flagging at nearly 80% below its latest all-time high, not everyone is bearish about even its mid-term outlook. While calls for a further drop before BTC/USD finds its new macro bottom remain, Capriole believes that 2023 will be bright for Bitcoin as a reserve asset. The reason, it says, lies in the world economy’s financial history of the past century, and in particular, the United States after the dollar deanchored from gold completely in 1971. Gold, as the world’s premier safe haven of the time, saw “huge” gains during the decade, and fifty ...

How crypto can be used in classrooms — and deliver financial literacy

Image
When done right, crypto can be used to show children how to be responsible with their money — and help them discover the value of hard work. Cryptocurrencies are often dismissed as vehicles for speculation — an asset class that lacks intrinsic value. But this is a naive, underdeveloped, and misinformed argument, especially when you consider how digital assets are being used as a modern tool for financial education. Jay-Z and Jack Dorsey recently teamed up to launch "The Bitcoin Academy," with dedicated classes for children aged 5 to 17. All of this is very exciting, and it's only the beginning. There are big opportunities for crypto to revamp financial education in the world's classrooms — and compelling applications that extend far beyond telling youngsters who Satoshi Nakamoto is.
