Bitcoin Will Hit $1M, Says Circle CEO

 


The leading cryptocurrency trades at around $38,000 per coin, but Circle's CEO is optimistic that its value will skyrocket in the coming years.


Jeremy Allaire, founder and CEO of Circle, said in a recent interview with Business Insider that he is optimistic about the long-term prospects of the cryptocurrency market.


According to Allaire, the price of Bitcoin would reach $1 million in the coming years. Allaire added that its market cap would eventually surpass gold:


"I'm not a 'bitcoin maximalist,' but if you're looking for a price prediction, I think we're absolutely going to see a million-dollar bitcoin over time."


Allaire added that he doesn't like the comparison between gold and bitcoin as he believes the commodity is a relic. He said:


“I don't really like the 'digital gold' analogy because gold is such a relic. It has extremely limited value as a medium of exchange and has never had any utility as a form of money in modern society. I think the demand for bitcoin will actually be much, much greater."


Bitcoin remains the largest cryptocurrency by market cap. It reached a market cap of $1 trillion in November. However, the market cap has fallen to the $700 billion mark as the bearish trend continues.


Despite Bitcoin's status, some within the crypto space believe that it would be overtaken by Ethereum in the long run.


The Ethereum blockchain has more use cases than Bitcoin and has been behind many revolutions such as initial coin offerings (ICOs), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), decentralized finance (DeFi) and more. Commenting on the battle, Allaire stated:


“There is clearly significant competition between Bitcoin and Ethereum. Ethereum maximalists say its monetary policy is superior, has a better deflation mechanism and is more efficient.”


The cryptocurrency market has performed well over the past few hours, with the total market cap now exceeding $1.7 trillion.

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

MSP Recovery and Tokenology aim to optimize healthcare with the help of Polygon

  MSP Recovery LLC, a Miami, US-based healthcare provider with an estimated enterprise value of $32.6 billion, is partnering with Web3 company Tokenology to jointly launch a new blockchain platform called Lifechain. Lifechain wants to leverage the verifiable and transparent nature of blockchain technology to aggregate medical care claims, medical expense reports and patient data and streamline their processing. For this purpose, MSP Recovery launched its own LifeWallet in January, which already has 1 million users. In addition to the wallet and blockchain platform, an associated crypto token called LifeCoin is also used.

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
