Ripple Set To Lose Lawsuit Against SEC, Predicts Bitcoin Advocate Max Keiser

by

In a surprising turn, prominent Bitcoin advocate Max Keiser made a bold prediction regarding the ongoing lawsuit between Ripple and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Keiser took to Twitter to state that Ripple would ultimately lose the case against the regulatory agency. Contrary to popular belief, Keiser argued that the lawsuit was never about the law. According to him, XRP, the native cryptocurrency of Ripple, was already marked for extinction, with SEC Chair Gary Gensler assigned to carry out the deed.

Keiser also addressed recent developments in the cryptocurrency landscape, notably highlighting El Salvador’s groundbreaking decision to legalize Bitcoin as a legal tender. He commended the country’s move as a significant step toward eliminating what he referred to as “all this nonsense.” In his view, while Bitcoin gains recognition as a legitimate currency, other digital assets are labeled unregistered securities.

A noteworthy aspect of Keiser’s commentary was his remarks concerning the efforts of prominent firms to establish spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs). WisdomTree, a popular ETF provider, recently submitted an application to the SEC seeking approval to launch the WisdomTree Bitcoin Trust, which would operate as a spot Bitcoin ETF. Keiser contended that the SEC’s enforcement actions had effectively paved the way for prominent players like BlackRock and WisdomTree to enter the Bitcoin market, effectively sidelining independent players and crypto exchanges.

Keiser’s Vocal Support for Bitcoin and Ripple Lawsuit Criticism Rattles Crypto Community

Keiser’s firm support for Bitcoin and criticism of alternative cryptocurrencies, particularly XRP, is well-known. He has consistently referred to XRP as a “sh*tcoin,” he has aligned himself with the SEC’s allegations that XRP is a security in the ongoing lawsuit against Ripple. Keiser extends his disdain to other crypto assets, dubbing them “sh*tcoins and securities.” Each time the SEC takes enforcement action against the crypto industry, Keiser seizes the opportunity to aim at the XRP community, leaving derogatory comments and asserting his “I told you so” stance.

Surprisingly, Keiser found an unexpected ally in John Deaton, the founder of CryptoLaw. Deaton, a supporter of XRP, concurred with one of Keiser’s assertions about the SEC and Ripple. Keiser had previously stated that XRP enthusiasts fail to grasp that U.S. law is not the core issue for cryptocurrencies. He emphasized that the SEC’s primary objective seems to be eliminating competition on behalf of established entities. Deaton, in agreement with Keiser, further accused SEC Chair Gary Gensler of protecting incumbents and the existing status quo.

As the legal battle between Ripple and the SEC continues, the cryptocurrency community eagerly awaits the outcome, while Max Keiser’s predictions and alliances attract significant attention. The implications of this case reach far beyond Ripple, potentially setting precedents and shaping the future of the crypto industry as regulatory scrutiny intensifies.

Bitcoin: Until $28,000, BTC May Not Face Any Resistance

by

Nothing is more intriguing than a bitcoin bull ‘s run during its peak rally period. There is a sense of urgency in the market, as proponents and analysts are trying to figure out BTC’s next move. After briefly touching $12,000 for the first time since June 2019, major personalities were on their speculative trail to predict Bitcoin’s next step.

Max Keiser, Heisenberg Capital founder and host of the Keiser Report was at his bullish best recently, as the BTC proponent suggested that the king coin will not face any resistance at the 2017 high of $20,000.

According to a Keiser, Bitcoin is possibly gearing itself up for its ascend towards $100,000 and the first form of resistance would only arrive at around $28,000. After hitting the aforementioned mark, the asset will undergo a minor correction and the rally towards the six-figure valuation would take place.

After rising by 29.12% since 21st July, Bitcoin incurred a quick drop of 10.57 percent over the past few hours. Incidentally, the drop occurred right after the price touched the $12,000 range. The positive outlook conveyed by Keiser is contagious and considering Bitcoin is busting past resistances over the past week like they did not exist, is commendable.

However, to state that there would not be any resistance until $28,000 is a bit of stretch at the moment. The rally has only been going on for less than 2 weeks, and for the bullish drive to attain a healthy picture, a significant period of correction is required.

The above sentiment of an imminent pullback was indicated by popular crypto trader Scott Melker as well. Melker stated,

“A $1700 BTC hourly candle (mostly in a few minutes) on extremely high volume, including a similar sell-off on ETH in the middle of the night? Cool. There were bear divs everywhere, as I mentioned.”

So where is the Bitcoin actually headed?

Although it is impossible to determine Bitcoin’s short-term move, the above weekly chart indicates a key pattern. Since early 2018, Bitcoin’s valuation has rarely stayed above the $11,500 range on the weekly chart. The one time that it moved above that range for a week occurred during the 2017 rally, which ended up Bitcoin going up to $20,000.

Hence if Keiser’s premonition has to come true, the asset has to rally above this range on the weekly chart. Things can take a huge bearish turn for Bitcoin after that.

Bitcoin Could Reach $500,000 Amidst U.S ‘Hashrate Wars’ : Max Keiser

by

Price forecasts are the basic commonality in the world of bitcoin and digital assets. Although most predictions are based on market indicators and analysis, at times various socio-economic or geopolitical events have an impact on the valuation of the BTC.

Speaking of extravagant predictions, popular financial analyst, and Bitcoin proponent, Max Keiser recently stated that a tussle between nations over the Bitcoin hash rate may eventually inflate Bitcoin’s valuation by more than $500,000.

In his recent segment of the Keiser Report, the analyst stated that the United States “hash-rate war” with Iran and Venezuela may create an extremely strong scenario where Bitcoin’s price may sky-rocket over $400,000-$500,000.

At present, China is the current leader in controlling the global hash for Bitcoin, amassing nearly 60 percent of it. Given that Iran currently owns 3 % of the world, Keiser believed that it would not be long before the U.S. dips its toes into the hashrate pool. He said

“Iran has already got 3% of global hash rate, so now I think Venezuela will get 3%–5% pretty quickly. And then at some point America will say, ‘We’ve got to enter the 21st century space race of mining Bitcoin,’ and then they’ll try to seek 20% of the hash rate, and then security goes up dramatically, and the price goes to $400,000, $500,000.”

For Keiser, Bitcoin is far-more important than a booming technology that transfers value. He believed that Bitcoin will leave a lasting impact on the wider society and establish a sense of financial freedom for its users. The influence of central banks on the larger economy could be broken according to Keiser, as he stated,

“The truth is if you want individual sovereignty, if you want justice, if you want uncensorable, unconfiscatable, indestructible wealth, there’s only one way to go — and that’s Bitcoin.”

Max Keiser’s previous $100,000 prediction update

Keiser has never been the one to shy away from preposterous price predictions as eight years back, he stated that Bitcoin will be worth over $100,000. Although the prediction has not panned out yet but in a recent interview with “Infowars”, Max Keiser decided to take his prediction up a notch and mentioned that Bitcoin will reach $400,000.

With the asset enjoying a rather turbulent year in 2020, it is highly unlikely that Keiser’s current prediction will come to fruition in the near future.
