‘I went in big, I put in a few million into Bitcoin…’

By

 


American musician, lead singer, and bassist for the rock band Kiss, Gene Simmons, has been very vocal about his affinity towards cryptocurrencies. From proclaiming himself as the ‘God of Dogecoin‘ to investing in other crypto tokens- the rock legend isn’t shy about voicing his support for the crypto market.


In a CNBC interview, Simmons weighed in on the crypto craze as well disclosed his crypto portfolio. Simmons, a BTC proponent entered the market frenzy when it traded at around $10k; he added that he invested a significant chunk of his wealth,


“I went in big, I put in a few million into BTC when it was around $10k…I loved the ride till $64k or so and I’m what’s called a #HODLer”


Simmons acknowledged that he got into crypto because of a call he made to Tyler Winklevoss at the beginning of the pandemic. Moreover, the lead bassist believes that “Bitcoin will be trading at $55,000 to 60,000 by the beginning of next year”. He added:


“I’m all in, I’m putting all in. When there was a big dip and it went down…I’ve put in more.”


Buying the dip(s) amidst a market correction was his strategy. Apart from BTC, the musician owns Ethereum, Cardano, Polkadot, and Uniswap.



Simmons further addressed the advantage crypto posed. He said “every single trade, every movement of any kind has a digital fingerprint” which makes it easier to tax it than gold.


Lately, other celebrities too expressed their support for cryptocurrencies especially Bitcoin. For instance, famed YouTube star KSI opined,


“I’d give everyone £100 worth of Bitcoin – like a Bitcoin stimulus package for all. I’m really into crypto. I think Bitcoin is the future. It’s definitely going to be long-term”


At press time, BTC was trading above the $45k mark with a surge of about 17% within a week.

Can XRP decouple from Bitcoin and the rest of crypto any time soon

By
  The market is cooling off from yesterday’s rally, which saw the cryptocurrency market capitalization cross the $2 trillion threshold for the first time in months. BTC was down by 1.45% over the past 24 hours, similarly, ETH was also trading in the red, down by 2.45% within the same period. However, resisting this trend was XRP, which was trading at the $1 mark, after recording a 13.2% gain in the last 24 hours. Does this imply a possible decoupling scenario?  While Bitcoin has been around much longer than any other crypto and has thus dictated price movements of most alts, the trend is changing slowly, but surely. Bitcoin’s correlation with XRP at press time, stood at 0.67. Source: Coinmetrics On-Chain metrics platform, Santiment recently highlighted in a tweet that read: “XRP is enjoying a+18% a day on a nice decoupling from BTC and the rest of crypto currently.
