The comments shared with Finbold.com from Nigel Green, chief executive and founder of deVere, come after the leading digital asset fell to around $10,000 over the weekend. Mr. Green notes: Further, he said that the first reason is about record-shattering stimulus initiatives. Governments and central banks around the world are continuing to prop-up their economies. Just last week France announced a new $100bn package. Mr. Green has also underlined that the second reason is that the uncertainty created by the U.S. presidential election is going to intensify between now and November 3. He has also previously noted that the world’s largest cryptocurrency will be further fuelled for the rest of 2020 by the U.S. presidential election and the weakness of the U.S. dollar, which will serve as high-octane price drivers. According to Nigel, investors will pile into safe-haven assets, which are not tied to any specific country, such as Bitcoin and gold. But perhaps even more important are the underlying fundamentals, says the deVere boss. “Bitcoin’s price will remain on an upward trajectory in 2020 and beyond because the fundamentals haven’t changed– namely that cryptocurrencies are the future of money. Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are digital and global. We’re going through a tech revolution and cryptocurrencies are digital by their very nature.” Mr. Green has also said that younger people, “who are of course the future”, have always lived in a digital era, so using digital currency is going to be second nature.
Institutional investors will bolster prices significantly
More and more global jurisdictions can be expected to join the likes of Malta, Hong Kong, Japan, Switzerland – and now Bermuda – in becoming crypto-friendly from a regulatory and pro-business viewpoint. The institutional expertise and capital will bolster prices significantly. Mr Green concludes: “The fundamentals that make Bitcoin an attractive investment are, in fact, gaining strength.” According to the CEO, if anything, the drop in price below $10,000, which is a critical psychological level, will be used by investors as a key buying opportunity – especially given that Bitcoin has soared by about 70% year-on-year, making it one of the best-performing assets of 2020.
