Analyst PlanB believes in new Bitcoin all-time high



Analyst PlanB is certain that the crypto market is not yet in a bear market. Therefore, reaching a new all-time high is also possible in the short term.


Analyst PlanB's Bitcoin price forecast had attracted a lot of attention in the last few weeks and months . He published his forecast in June 2021 and forecast the value of Bitcoin in the months between August and December. For August and September, the analyst, who is considered to be the originator of the stock-to-flow model , was correct with his forecast of at least 47,000 and 43,000 US dollars, respectively. There was only a slight deviation in October. Bitcoin only closed the month at a rate of $ 61,000 instead of at least $ 63,000 as forecast.


Forecast in November and December significantly removed from the real rate


These are currently values ​​from which Bitcoin is a long way off again. Bitcoin is currently trading at $ 48,200. The announcement of the record rate of inflation in the USA had caused the Bitcoin exchange rate to rise to almost $ 50,000 in the short term. However, this increase was not of a long-term nature.


The forecast from PlanB in November did not come true either. The analyst had issued a price target of at least $ 98,000. In November, Bitcoin reached its all-time high of 69,000 US dollars (November 10), but since then it has been going down for the largest and oldest cryptocurrency as well as for the altcoins. Nevertheless, PlanB emphasizes that the stock-to-flow model is still intact and its forecast at that time was mapped by a different model. For December, PlanB had even expected a Bitcoin rate of at least 135,000 US dollars. This seems very unlikely, at least at the moment.


PlanB cannot yet imagine a bear market

Since Bitcoin is now around 30 percent below its all-time high, some investors fear that the crypto market is now in a long-term bear market, as active investors had experienced for a long time from 2014 and 2018. During this phase, Bitcoin had lost around 80 percent of its value. Some investors expect a similar trend in 2022. If this happens, it means, conversely, that BTC has reached its final all-time high in the current halving cycle.



However, this is exactly what PlanB is not assuming. In a tweet he explains that such a price slump does not make sense at the moment.


For example, if Bitcoin fell by around 80 percent, as in previous years, it would also fall below the all-time high of around $ 20,000 in 2017. That has never happened to this day, according to PlanB. He therefore does not believe that the $ 69,000 mark could represent the maximum of the bull run so far.



In fact, there are now some differences from previous years. For example, companies like Tesla or MicroStrategy have invested billions in Bitcoin. In addition, BTC is now legal tender in El Salvador. Therefore, it is of course not clear whether the course of the past can also be used for the current phase.

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin...

Phishing attack on popular crypto sites tries to empty wallets

  Several major crypto sites such as Etherscan, CoinGecko, DeFi Pulse, and others report malicious pop-ups scammers use to try to trick users into connecting their MetaMask wallets. The phishing attack came from a domain displaying the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) logo. "We are investigating the root cause of this attack to fix the threat as soon as possible," CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong tweeted. The phishing attack appears to have been triggered by a malicious ad script from Coinzilla, a crypto ad network, according to CoinGecko. Etherscan also advises its users not to confirm any transactions that may appear on the website. The attackers attempted to use the hype around the “bored monkeys” non-fungible tokens (NFT) to gain access to the cryptocurrencies of unsuspecting website visitors. Although the websites affected by the scam attempt have reacted in the last few hours and deactivated the advertising pop-up, it is still recommended not to connect your MetaMask wallet to ne...

Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs stolen through phishing on Instagram

  Bored Ape Yacht Club ( BAYC ) developers announced on Monday that hackers have hijacked the official Instagram page of the popular NFT collection and posted links to a fake airdrop. Crypto enthusiasts who connected their MetaMask wallet to the rogue website subsequently had their Ape NFTs stolen. Apparently, the attack was planned to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the BAYC collection. This increased the "perceived credibility" of the phishing link. About 100 NFTs are said to have been stolen in the phishing attack . According to CoinGecko data , the minimum price for a BAYC NFT is 139 Ether ( ETH ) or $400,726. So if reports are correct, over $40 million worth of NFTs were stolen in the attack. These numbers are only the lowest estimate, however, as they are based on the lowest price.  At the time of writing, it was still unclear how the hackers gained access to BAYC's official Instagram account. Social media users have pointed out the importance of two-fact...
