Even the cryptocurrency Tether which was predicted to get pegged against the American dollar reached $1.02 today. Only XRP which always gets benefited from the push of altcoins fell today. It fell by roughly 1.41% today while falling by 22% during the last week. It is collapsing because of the lawsuit slapped by the SEC on the coin’s creators.
Also Monero, a privacy coin crashed this week along with Dash and ZCash, the 2 coins which have strong features of privacy, after Bittrex, a crypto exchange announced to delist them soon. Monero dropped by 3%, decreasing 16% during the last week, while the coin ZCash pulled it back while gaining 1% during this week. Dash has increased by 0.27%, but it is down by roughly 13% during the last week.
The observers of Bitcoin, like Warren Buffet and Elon Musk, are walking a very careful line among outright derision, playful mockery, and cool commentary. After the current price bump of Bitcoin, they feel very strongly about the bull run.
