Hopium: Four Experts Give You Reasons To Smile Despite The Crypto Bloodbath

Morale is low. Fear is overflowing. What to do? What to do? Turn to the crypto experts and listen to their sweet words of hope, of course. Following a message from our sponsors, check out this antidote for the FUD flowing in the air. 

1.- Cathy Wood Sees Capitulation

The Ark Invest’s CEO and all-around crypto expert said Bitcoin is going to $500K in Bloomberg’s face. She didn’t say when, though. Besides that, Wood pumped green mining and said that the bottom might not be here because the market is in a “very emotional” state. 

She and her on-chain analyst think we’re in a “capitulation phase.” Wood said:

“We were looking at all the indicators this morning. They’re all suggesting that we’re in the capitulation phase. Which is a really great  time to buy. No matter what  the asset is, a capitulation phase is buy. It’s on sale.”

3.- Raoul Pal Sees The Same Pattern As In 2013 and 2017

The investor and Real Vision’s CEO isn’t sweating this time around. This happened before. A few times. This bull run’s pattern is nothing new, in fact, the similarities to previous cycles are uncanny. And Raoul Pal has the charts to prove it. The crypto expert also predicts “an over extension” of the bull cycle. 

4.- Zhu Su Still Sees A Supercycle

The known investor and Uncommon Core’s co-host announced that he’s never had more short positions than long positions in cryptocurrencies since 2018. Then, he basically admits that he took opposite positions relative to his investments to reduce the risk of adverse price movements. Finally, the crypto expert risks it all and affirms that the supercycle is still on the table. 

The Bitcoin supercycle is a concept popularized by Kraken’s Dan Held. He explains:

Never before has Bitcoin had such strong fundamentals against a macro backdrop (traditional financial system) that highlights exactly why Bitcoin is needed, the narrative is singular, and the ability for global value to flow into Bitcoin has never been easier.

According to the crypto expert, this time the cycle is not going to look like 2013 and 2017. The reasons are the COVID situation, plus inflation, plus institutional adoption of Bitcoin, plus no conflicting narratives, and a general understanding of the crypto space by both retail investors and big players, It will still happen, but it’ll be bigger and better and throughout more time.

BONUS: Crypto Cobain said this is what Bitcoin needed 

Back in January, Up Only’s Cobie described the exact situation we’re living in. According to the crypto expert, this situation is necessary for Bitcoin to reach $100K-$200K per coin. A blow-off top and a consolidation period that destroys weak hands, so that “everyone thinks it is “over” and hype dies down.”

We can only agree with the man. To finish this and create a hyperloop with the beginning of this article, Crypto Cobain closes his case and describes our situation with, “Basically, 2013 repeated in 2021.”
