    $50K could serve as resistance for Bitcoin in 2021, Bloomberg’s Mike McGlone says

He reasserted his belief that Bitcoin could achieve a market cap of about $1 trillion in 2021—fueled by the sudden, dramatic rise of institutional interest seen this year.

    Halving halfwits: Anthony Pompliano’s feud with Bloomberg’s Joe Weisenthal over who’s the greater fool

    What seemed like a Twitter fight over the Efficient Market Hypothesis is really about something else

    Have you heard of “The Halving?” Many—if not most—retail traders and investors may not have heard of it. Those that have probably don’t care all that much about it. For that reason, all those HODLers who take up a lot of space on Reddit and Twitter give themselves a pat on the back.
