Bitcoin sets new price record
Earlier today, the world’s leading cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, surprised the cryptocurrency market by hitting a new all-time high above the $109,000 level. This tremendous price surge came despite a massive sell-off that saw a whopping $1.2 billion worth of crypto assets wiped from the market.
The previous all-time high, above $108,000, was reached on December 16.
The price surge came as the market anticipated the inauguration of the newly elected pro-crypto US president, Donald Trump. During his campaign, he accepted donations in various cryptocurrencies, not only Bitcoin but also numerous altcoins, including meme tokens. He also promised to create a National Strategic Reserve of Bitcoin, as well as promote adequate regulation of cryptocurrencies to maintain the United States’ leadership in financial and technological markets around the world.
Bitcoin at $1 million – Samson Mow, Michael Saylor
In line with his own prophecies, another vocal Bitcoiner, Samson Mow, the CEO of JAN3, tweeted today that he saw a “God Candle,” which took BTC above the $109,000 price line.
Overall, Mow expects Bitcoin to eventually reach $1 million per coin imminently. Saylor shares his beliefs. What’s more, he stated several times that within 10 years, BTC will be worth a staggering $12 million per unit, as it will have taken away some of gold’s market share by then.
As PakGazette previously reported, as Trump’s inauguration approached, the probability of creating the Bitcoin Reserve for the US increased to more than 70%, according to data from betting service Kalshi.
