Bitcoin's Value Is ‘Many Multiples’ Above Its Current Price: Billionaire Investor Bill Miller

Legendary investor Bill Miller says he’s “still betting on Bitcoin,” which has ample room to rise despite currently trading close to all-time highs. In a Tuesday article, the billionaire argued that Bitcoin’s “intrinsic value” is “many multiples” of its market cap today and that the asset is at the center of a “secular shift around how humans think about capital and its governance.” “The promise of Bitcoin is simple,” Miller wrote. “Namely, that changes in someone’s purchasing power should not b...

Bitcoin Drops 3% Ahead of Interest Rate Decision and US Inflation Report

Leading cryptocurrency Bitcoin has tumbled by 2.9% ahead of tomorrow’s FOMC meeting and CPI report. The Federal Reserve is set to announce its decision on interest rates tomorrow. However, market participants are expecting the rates to remain unchanged, according to the CME FedWatch tool. The U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) report will be released tomorrow, with analysts expecting the headline CPI to be at 3.4%, while core CPI is estimated to be at 3.5%.

It's Time To Go Long On Bitcoin and Shitcoins: Arthur Hayes

Recent policy moves from global central banks suggest that the time has come to ape into Bitcoin and high-conviction shitcoins, according to BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes. Earlier this week, both the Bank of Canada and the European Central Bank became the first G7 countries to lower their benchmark interest rates, which neither region has done in several years. According to Hayes, those pivotal moves will “catapult crypto out of the northern hemispheric summer doldrums.” “The trend is clear. Ce...
