Hey Nimbus community,
The year 2022 started for the crypto industry on a harsh note – practically all of the major digital currencies dipped. Partially this could be attributed to the unstable political situation in Kazakhstan. According to BitMEX Research, if bitcoin miners decided to leave the country, the bitcoin hash rate would suffer an important drop. Does it mean that bearish sentiment just begins to take hold? On the on hand, it’s very unlikely that even a steep fall in the hash rate will trigger a major sell-off. On the other hand, the tightening of the monetary policy by the Fed may do the job. Overall, it looks like January will be quite volatile for the industry.
Still, it doesn’t mean you should panic. For instance, Coinbase executive believes that the industry will constantly seek advancements in the speed and functionality. Surojit Chatterjee also predicted increased industry-wide regulation and institutional investment in DeFi. Finally, he mentioned the emergence of DeFi insurance and increased brand engagement in Metaverse and NFTs. Thus, don’t let the market fool you!
Talking about forecasts, we find it important to mention that Goldman Sachs analysts don’t discount that Bitcoin will continue to take market share from gold as part of broader adoption of digital assets, making the often touted price prediction of $100,000. Goldman estimates that Bitcoin’s float-adjusted market capitalization is just under $700 billion. The value of gold that’s available for investment is estimated at $2.6 trillion.
Finally, yet importantly, we recommend you to check out the “How to Bitcoin” book by CoinGecko. Long story short, it offers easy-to-understand analogies and step-by-step guides to help you understand the Bitcoin movement and how to be part of it. Also, they have a book called “How to NFT” , which covers various categories of NFTs and how they generate value.
