During a panel hosted by the investment education platform Market Rebellion, Tom Lee, Managing Partner at Fundstrat Global Advisors predicted that Bitcoin price could reach $ 200,000 by 2022.

Although the popular market analyst said that BTC had a disappointing year-end, he predicts that the market will do better in the next year.

Bitcoin hit the ATH at $ 69,044 on November 10, followed by a sharp correction.

The cryptocurrency has not been able to generate a strong year-end rally as the bulls are expecting. It is currently in the $ 51.067 zone after rebounding from below $ 50,000.

Despite its strong rally at the start of the year, Bitcoin suffered a sharp crash in the second quarter, triggered by environmental concerns over the proof-of-work consensus algorithm and China’s crypto ban.

Bitcoin price will reach $ 6 million.

In a recent interview, the CEO of Microstrategy expects the price of Bitcoin to reach $ 6 million and states that this “nothing can stop” and will displace BTC gold.

Saylor announced that he personally owns at least 17,732 bitcoins, which is the amount he announced last October. At the current BTC price, his Bitcoin vault is worth nearly $ 858 million while his company is hoarding 122,478 BTC.

The CEO of Microstrategy has never sold any of his bitcoins and has no current plans to sell them in the future.

Bitcoin miners have sales of $ 15 billion this year.

According to The Block Research, Bitcoin miners had sales of over $ 15 billion in 2021, up 206% from 2020.

As noted in the graph above, estimated mining revenues peaked in March when the miners raised around $ 1.75 billion, including $ 167 million in transaction fees.

Whales are pulling over $ 97 million worth of BTC from Coinbase.

A giant whale moved nearly $ 100 million worth of bitcoin in a single transaction.

According to Whale Alert, the whale transferred 2,001 BTC worth $ 97.29 million from the Coinbase exchange to an unknown wallet.

Ethereum news

A total of 7,011.29 ETH worth $ 29,144,302 were burned from Ethereum transactions yesterday.

On August 5, 2021, the Ethereum blockchain performed a major upgrade called the EIP-1159. This improvement suggestion from Ethereum changed the network’s fee model. Every transaction now includes a basic fee that is either burned or permanently withdrawn from circulation, which permanently reduces the ether offer.

Ethereum is currently issuing new ethers at a rate of 4% per year, although this is expected to drop to around 0.5-1% as part of the Ethereum 2.0 upgrade. When this happens, the rate of ether burn will be higher than the rate of token issuance, making ETH a deflationary currency.
