Michael Saylor would be up $2.5 billion if he chose Ethereum over Bitcoin

Three years into the bold ‘Bitcoin Initiative’ by MicroStrategy co-founder Michael Saylor, which has seen his company steadily purchasing Bitcoin (BTC) and currently ‘hodling’ close to 160,000 units, it looks like betting on Ethereum (ETH) instead would have been more profitable.

In fact, if MicroStrategy had bought Ethereum instead of Bitcoin, the company would have been $2.5 billion in profit instead of around $400 million in a loss at press time, according to the Analysis by Bitcoin Rainbow Chart creator Holger Rohm, a.k.a. rohmeo.eth shared on October 9.

On top of that, the cryptocurrency analyst pointed out that the company would have held 11% of staked Ethereum (if staked) and would have earned “way more from staking than their core business does,” according to the data retrieved from BlockchainCenter.net.

Indeed, as Finbold reported in late September, MicroStrategy was, at the time, recording $500 million in unrealized losses as Bitcoin was trading around $26,200 – notably lower than MicroStrategy’s average buy price.

Meanwhile, the price of Ethereum at the time of publication stood at $1,593.93, which represents a loss of 1.63% on the day, a drop of 7.97% in the past week, as well as losing 2.43% to its value in the previous month, as per the most recent data retrieved on October 9.

All things considered, Saylor’s Bitcoin bet might yet pay off, and massively. As it happens, many crypto analysts and investors believe that the maiden digital asset might still have a major bull run in its future, especially as it approaches its halving event, and could possibly even reach the price of $1 million.

From Ripple to Solana: crypto-TradFi partnerships that go nowhere

After Solana boasted this week about its exclusive partnership with remittance giant Western Union for its USDPT stablecoin, researchers remained skeptical that the partnership will gain meaningful traction. The unfortunate reality of such announcements is initial hype and minimal follow-up. Indeed, for nearly a decade, crypto partnerships with traditional finance — and remittance companies in particular — have almost always fizzled out after their initial fanfare. Crypto giants like Ripple and Stellar have announced a dizzying array of Press Releases that ultimately resulted in minimal on-chain activity. According to a complaint by the US Securities and Exchange Commission, for example, Ripple “made an avalanche of public statements” over the years in an attempt to increase the value of XRP as it sold over $2 billion worth of the token. Ripple contested that characterization and lost one complaint on the slightly lower amount of $728 million worth of unreg...

Why Solana is likely to collapse to $105,000, according to expert

Hình ảnh
As Solana (SOL) trades just below the $200 mark amid broader market weakness, an analyst has suggested that the cryptocurrency could be on the verge of a sharp correction toward $105. This outlook, shared by TradingShot in a TradingView post on October 21, is based on Solana’s trading pattern since bottoming out in early April. Since then, the token has moved within an upward channel, consistently forming higher highs and higher lows. SOL price analysis chart. Source: TradingView The bullish structure has so far been supported by the 200-week moving average (MA), which acted as the foundation for the April rebound. However, the analyst noted that the latest pullback has exposed underlying weaknesses, bringing the token dangerously close to a key support level at the 200-day moving average around $165. Despite holding this level on four successive tests, the outlook indicates that Solana’s price action shows signs of waning momentum. The Relative Strength Index (RSI...
