“I think this next bull run into 2025 we’ll see Bitcoin over $100,000.” – Dan Tapiero
In a recent interview, Dan Tapiero, a veteran investment manager and co-founder of 10T Holdings, shared his bullish outlook on Bitcoin for the next few years. He said that he expects Bitcoin to surpass $100,000 by 2025, as the cryptocurrency becomes more widely adopted and integrated into the global financial system.
Tapiero explained that Bitcoin is not only a store of value, but also a network effect asset that benefits from increasing users and innovation. He compared Bitcoin to other network effect assets, such as Facebook, Google, and Amazon, which have grown exponentially over time and created massive value for their shareholders.
He also pointed out that Bitcoin has a unique advantage over other assets, as it is decentralized, censorship-resistant, and scarce. He said that Bitcoin is the only asset that can provide protection against inflation, currency debasement, and geopolitical risks. He added that Bitcoin is also the most liquid and transparent asset in the world, with a global market that operates 24/7.
Tapiero said that he believes that Bitcoin is still in its early stages of adoption, and that there is a huge potential for growth in the coming years. He said that he expects more institutional investors, corporations, and governments to embrace Bitcoin as a strategic asset and a reserve currency. He also said that he anticipates more innovation and development in the Bitcoin ecosystem, such as the Lightning Network, which will enable faster and cheaper transactions.
Tapiero concluded that he is very optimistic about the future of Bitcoin, and that he thinks that this next bull run into 2025 will see Bitcoin over $100,000. He said that he considers Bitcoin to be one of the best investments of his lifetime, and that he encourages everyone to learn more about it and get involved.
Moonbirds announces Talons, a reward system to replace Nesting.
We are excited to announce that we are launching a new reward system for our loyal customers: Talons. Talons are points that you can earn by using our services, such as booking flights, hotels, car rentals, and more. You can then redeem your Talons for discounts, upgrades, freebies, and other perks.
Talons will replace our current reward system, Nesting, which will be phased out by the end of the year. We decided to make this change because we wanted to offer you more flexibility and value for your money. With Talons, you can choose from a wider range of rewards, and you can also transfer your points to other Moonbirds members or donate them to charity.
If you are already a Nesting member, don’t worry. You can easily convert your Nesting points to Talons at a 1:1 ratio. You can also keep using your Nesting card until it expires or request a new Talons card for free. To make the transition smoother, we have created a dedicated website where you can find all the information you need about Talons, including how to sign up, how to earn and redeem points, and how to manage your account.
CF Benchmark launches staking index series for Institutional Clients as Dan Tapiero predicts BTC to $100k
CF Benchmark, the leading provider of cryptocurrency indices and data, has announced the launch of a new series of staking indices for institutional clients. The staking indices aim to capture the returns of the most popular and secure proof-of-stake (PoS) networks, such as Ethereum 2.0, Cardano, Polkadot, Solana, and Cosmos.
Staking is a process by which users can lock up their cryptocurrency holdings in exchange for rewards and the right to participate in the network governance. Staking is seen as a way to generate passive income and support the security and decentralization of PoS networks. However, staking also involves risks, such as volatility, illiquidity, slashing penalties, and technical complexity.
The CF Benchmark staking indices are designed to address these challenges and provide institutional investors with a reliable and transparent way to access the staking market. The indices are based on the following principles:
- The indices track the total return of staking, including both the price appreciation and the staking rewards of the underlying assets.
-
The indices use a market capitalization-weighted methodology, with a cap of 25% for each constituent to ensure diversification and reduce concentration risk.
-
The indices are rebalanced monthly to reflect the changes in the staking market and the network parameters.
-
The indices are calculated using CF Benchmark’s robust and audited methodology, which complies with the IOSCO Principles for Financial Benchmarks.
The CF Benchmark staking indices are available on the CF Benchmark website and through various data providers. The indices can be used for various purposes, such as benchmarking, research, analysis, product development, and portfolio construction. The indices can also serve as the basis for passive investment products, such as exchange-traded funds (ETFs), that can offer exposure to the staking market in a convenient and regulated way.
CF Benchmark is committed to providing high-quality and innovative indices for the cryptocurrency industry. The launch of the staking indices is another milestone in CF Benchmark’s mission to bridge the gap between traditional finance and digital assets.
