Bitwise CIO: $ 100,000 by the end of the year will be tough



Bitwise's CIO is a little unsure whether Bitcoin will hit $ 100,000 in 2021.

The $ 100,000 by the end of the year will be tough

Many crypto analysts predict that Bitcoin will hit $ 100,000 in 2021, but the price has to get above $ 68,000 to do that.

As the end of the year approaches, some experts doubt whether Bitcoin will have enough time to reach USD 100,000 by the end of 2021.

After the big flash crash, Bitcoin is unlikely to hit a new all-time high and hit $ 100,000 in the next three weeks, Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan said in an interview.

"$ 100,000 by the end of the year is hard to predict [...] I think it could reach $ 100,000 in 2022, but I'm not so sure this year."

He noted that a potential Bitcoin rally in 2022 is largely due to growing institutional support.

"I think if we look at 2022 we still have these fundamental drivers, the institutions that we talk to every day at Bitwise."

He added that many institutions are still entering the market for the first time.

Hougan also forecast that there will be an explosion of activities based on Ethereum and Layer-One solutions in 2022.

“Investors will look at Ethereum, Solana or Polygon. Investors are beginning to realize that crypto is more than just bitcoin. If there's a bigger story for next year, it will be everything else: crypto as DeFi, NFTs, Web3 or Metaverse. "

While Hougan also sees growing potential for altcoins, some celebs are still sticking with Bitcoin.

Bobby Lee, founder and CEO of the crypto hardware wallet Ballet, argued on Monday that bitcoin is more valuable than altcoins because it is not backed by any project or promise that can fail.

Many celebrities, including Standard Chartered's cryptocurrency research unit, PlanB, Morgan Creek Digital Assets Co-Founder Anthony Pompliano, SkyBridge Capital CEO Anthony Scaramucci and still believe the $ 100,000 is possible by year-end.

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...
