Bitcoin Nears $50,000 While Banks Lock Out Amid Inflation

Image
 Bitcoin has been sidewaying for the past two weeks with it now nearing the upper range as it surpassed $49,000 before currently trading at $48,600. The currency is getting a boost by a new regime in places like Nigeria where some states are banning people from entering banks if they do not show a digital id card of their vaccine status from a government app. This measure was also enacted in Argentina’s capital, Buenos Aires, where a new law requires since Tuesday a vaccine ‘passport’ to be shown for “in-person attendance at private entities when people congregate.” That includes banks in a country where many save in dollars and access to such dollars is usually only available inside a bank as the ATMs outside operate in only highly inflating pesos. Argentina’s GDP has crashed, nearly halving since 2017 from $640 billion to now $380 billion as inflation runs above 50% on interest rates of 38% in a monetary collapse that has seen the peso go from 16 to the dollar, to now 102.

According to the agency’s complaint for forfeiture filed with the U.S. District Court of Carolina on December 20, a Sony Life employee, Rei Ishii, allegedly “diverted $154 million when the company attempted to transfer funds between its financial accounts” back in May. To do this, Ishii allegedly falsified certain transaction instructions, which resulted in the money being transferred to his bank account in La Jolla, California. After receiving the funds, Ishii then quickly used them to buy 3,879 BTC on crypto exchange Coinbase and transferred the coins to a cold hardware wallet, said the complaint. The FBI also stated that Ishii anonymously sen...

Eye Opening’ Price Pattern Could Be Unfolding for Bitcoin, According to  Popular crypto analyst Justin Bennett thinks Bitcoin (BTC) could be in  for more bearish price action in the short term. In a YouTube analysis, Bennett notes that whenever BTC has had a liquidation wick downwards in price this past year, the leading crypto asset tends to initially recover before breaking below the bottom of the liquidation candle’s low and fully bouncing upwards again. The crypto analyst points out that Bitcoin’s most recent liquidation candle from December 4th tested the $42,000 range. “Right now Bitcoin is kind of in the process of filling in that lower wick. But the question is, is it going to fill in that wick completely? Or is it just going to turn sideways to lower and then just balance from this area down here… right around $45,000. Now if we use history as a guide here over the past year, and think about what I just showed you, Bitcoin, every single time there’s been a liquidation...
