Mexican Billionaire Says His Bank Will Soon Add Support for Bitcoin

By

 Mexican businessman Ricardo Salinas Pliego has confirmed that his Banco Azteca will soon accept Bitcoin in a Thursday tweet.    


 

The founder and chairman of Grupo Salinas—whose net worth is estimated to be $15.6 billion—has also added Bitcoin laser eyes to his Twitter profile picture to showcase his support for the largest cryptocurrency.    



In late June, Salinas announced that Banco Azteca was aiming to become the first Mexican bank to add support for the bellwether coin.  


Back in November, the third-richest Mexican billionaire revealed that he had converted 10 percent of his impressive portfolio to Bitcoin.


He views the largest cryptocurrency as a good way of diversifying one’s investment portfolio:


Bitcoin is a good way to diversify your investment portfolio and I think that all investors should start studying cryptocurrencies and their future. At Banco Azteca, we are working to bring them to our clients to continue promoting [financial] freedom.


Salinas, however, is not a fan of Dogecoin. He went semi-viral after telling a fan of the meme cryptocurrency that he would stay poor.

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.

In The Money Stocks’ President: Bitcoin Will Eventually Slip to $18K Despite Its Recent Rally

By
 Gareth Soloway – chief market strategist at InTheMoneyStocks – is not impressed by bitcoin’s recent price increase. He argued that the primary cryptocurrency’s USD value would soon reach $50,000-52,000, but will eventually tumble to $18,000. Would History Repeat Itself? In a recent interview for Kitco News, Gareth Soloway – the President of InTheMoneyStocks – opined that bitcoin’s price would eventually experience a massive downturn. While he predicted that the digital asset would climb to a maximum of $52,000 in the short term, it would crash later to as low as $18,000. “Bitcoin will eventually get to the $18,000 mark. There is really no question in my mind.” Soloway – who is also a day trader – explained his forecast with past events. According to him, history would repeat itself just like it happened in 2013 and 2017 when bitcoin plunged after rallying significantly for a couple of months. However, things would be different if it manages to surpass its all-time high of $65,000....
