Long-term Investment
As was predicted, the development elicited a large number of responses. People praised the wallet owner for having the fortitude to hold onto such a large sum of money for more than a decade. It is possible that holding onto the flagship cryptocurrency, Bitcoin (BTC), for a lengthy period would prove to be a wise financial option after a decade.
Bitcoin has dropped below $40K to below $38.8K, wiping off the majority of the gains achieved due to Biden’s new policy announcement. Ethereum has also dropped below the $2.6K mark. After the White House produced a national security memorandum to govern the digital asset industry, the Biden administration announced its crypto policy, which might be a significant step toward a more efficient regulatory structure. According to CoinMarketCap, the Bitcoin price today is $39,251.78 USD with a 24-hour trading volume of $31,050,367,015 USD. Bitcoin is down 7.16% in the last 24 hours.
