Bitcoin will continue to rise as predicted by the CEO of MicroStrategy

 

MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor predicts that the value of Bitcoin (BTC-USD) will "go up indefinitely," but that the cryptocurrency will remain volatile. When asked by CNBC if it plans to continue buying Bitcoin, MicroStrategy, a business intelligence software company that has also become a large buyer of cryptocurrency, said the answer was yes, depending on market conditions. His prediction: "Bitcoin will be a powerful and hard store of value for the economy for the next decade." According to Saylor, the MSTR's chairman, the company was willing to use debt or equity to finance its expanding stockpile. It will be purchased on a quarterly basis using cash flows, debt, or stock, depending on market conditions and what appears to be more accretive for our shareholders, according to Mr. Johnson.

For the rest of the crypto market, Saylor believes that if governments establish a clear structure, a U.S. dollar stablecoin might be worth $10 trillion. According to him, the dollar would unquestionably become the world's digital reserve currency in the near future.

Last week, MicroStrategy (MSTR) saw its stock price collapse after disclosing its ongoing efforts to buy more Bitcoin (BTC-USD). About 101,036 Bitcoins were held by the corporation at the time, with a market value of about $6.1 billion. At 2:30 p.m. ET on Monday, MSTR was up just 0.01% intraday, at $720.88, after trading sideways for several months following a huge spike early in the year. Due to the company's substantial investment in cryptocurrencies, MSTR and BTC-USD have risen in lockstep recently.

To boost trade, Africa is simplifying international payment systems

It's hard to transfer money between African countries. The Ghanaian king settled a bill with a Nigerian attorney. His experience highlights a systemic problem impeding Africa's economic growth: high transaction costs and inconvenience. 15% of all imports and exports occur between 55 African countries. 60% of Asian trade is within Asia. 70% in EU. The difficulty of international payments hinders African trade. There are also high tariffs, long border procedures, and congested roads. Proponents of AfCFTA say easing trade restrictions will boost trade, FDI, and economic growth. 50 million people will be lifted out of extreme poverty by 2035 due to the accord's positive impact on real income, which is projected to rise 9.1%.  Another issue: In Africa, currency values fluctuate. From July 2021 to 2022, Ghana's currency fell from 6 to 8. Volatile currencies make financial transactions more costly and risky.

A more accessible blockchain-based app dev in progress

Outside of cryptocurrency, blockchain has a lot of potential. Decentralized applications and distributed ledgers may soon be used by established industries such as finance, automotive, supply chain, and mobility. However, creating your own blockchain from the ground up is quite tough. Lisk co-founder Max Kordek discusses how to make decentralization more approachable. Blockchain's decentralized, tamper-proof nature has the ability to decentralize power and offer the collective hive more data control. Data from different manufacturers may be linked, and data from different vehicles could be shared. With so much money pouring towards asteroid mining and Mars expeditions, an interplanetary economy appears to be a foregone conclusion. Established businesses are less likely to have a say in the change than new entrepreneurs. When Bitcoin was first launched, the development ecosystem was "terrible," according to Kordek. He claims that developing on the open source and immutable...

By 2023, it is estimated that investment in blockchain technologies will reach US$16 billion per year on average. (Approximately RM68 billion). To put this in perspective, consider the fact that US$8.7 billion was invested in blockchain and cryptocurrencies in the first half of 2021.
