💸 Blockchain Headlines

Only a couple of days ago, most of us in this crazy blockchain-space were thinking, “Man, why isn’t BTC doing anything??”

Well, if you’ve looked at the charts at all in the past 24 hours, it did something…and that something = down.

So where will the next move be? No one knows, and anyone who says they do must also has a bridge to sell ya!… But that doesn’t mean that we can’t speculate.

Many of you will be familiar with Benjamin Cowen, founder of Into the Cryptoverse. He’s been talkin’ altcoin-mayhem for a while now, and he doesn’t think it’s over yet. You can check out his channel for specific opinions of his here.

On the other end of the aisle, we have the Blockchain Backer, a favorite of many in the XRP community and an absolute TA-whiz. BCB, as he’s usually referred to, has a much different perspective than Ben. Instead of running from alts, he actually thinks that some will fair better than BTC in the near-future! You can check out his specific opinions here.

Now, we want to reiterate: we have zero clue what will happen. And sure, these folks linked above have more of a clue, but, at the end of the day, their guess is as good as anyone’s.

We therefore caution you to be responsible with your money. Please don’t make any decisions based solely off of these perspectives, and never, ever invest capital that you can’t afford to lose.
