âThe current round of bitcoin bull can be the result of high inflation expectations. What institutional investors care about is profit, not feelings like âbitcoin faithâ or âblockchain revolutionâ. With the gradual recovery of the economy, monetary policy will gradually change from loose to moderate tightening after the epidemic has been gradually eased. At that time, institutional investors may sell bitcoin.â

From the perspective of blockchain technology changing the world, it seems that it is only a matter of time for bitcoin to surpass the market value of Apple. After all, bitcoin is the originator of blockchain technology in addition to its own application value. The more blockchain technology goes into the world, the better bitcoin will be.
