Longtime Bitcoin (BTC/USD) bull Tom Lee has been modeling throughout 2021 for the price of the digital currency to hit $100,000 by the end of the year. On Tuesday, when Bitcoin erased all of its gains for 2021, the founder of Fundstrat Global Advisors reiterated his six-digit price target.Bitcoin undergoing a ‘very rough patch’Bitcoin is stuck in a “very rough patch” and the very near-term outlook “doesn’t look great,” Lee said on CNBC’s “TechCheck.” Yet this may not matter as Bitcoin tends to record most of its annual gains in just 10 days. As such, Bitcoin still has half a year left on the calendar to record explosive gains in 10 days and “potentially touch $100,000 or higher.”The fact that Bitcoin is able to hold the $30,000 level is “pretty impressive,” he said.2021 avoided a ‘crypto winter’Many investors are skeptical how the price of Bitcoin at $30,000 can double to $60,000 and then nearly double again to reach Lee’s price target. He argues that the downside seen in Bitcoin in 2021 is not as bad as it would have been in prior years.Bitcoin is suffering from negative catalysts out of China in terms of banning crypto mines. In the US, Bitcoin is undergoing “tremendous regulatory scrutiny.”If you look at any other year, this would have taken Bitcoin deep into a bear market — into a crypto winter. And yet, Bitcoin is really only 50% off its highs.Recent events from China is a ‘positive development’When asked if crackdowns out of China is in fact a concerning event, Lee said Bitcoin’s large exposure to the country was a negative thesis for Bitcoin’s long-term outlook. He equated this to investors who don’t want to see large amounts of oil production coming out of politically unstable regions. He emphasized:It’s absolutely a positive development.The post Tom Lee is sticking with his 2021 Bitcoin $100K price prediction appeared first on Invezz.from Cryptocurrency – Invezz

Dogecoin DOGE/USD has fallen more than 20% in the past 24 hours alone and is flirting with the $0.15 level. Compare that to the value it had on May 8 when it tested the $0.75 level and we can see DOGE is down 78% from its highs. However, when you compare it to the value it had at the start of 2021 at $0.005, it is still up big for the year. With that said, should you buy DOGE now? Let’s take a look and see.DOGE price rally: easy come, easy goOn May 7, Dogecoin lost more than a third of its price after Elon Musk called it a “hustle” throughout his guest-host appearance on the “Saturday Night Live” comedy sketch TV show. This showcased exactly how much influence he has over the Dogecoin cryptocurrency.His influence to push DOGE in either direction was reiterated just days later. On May 13, Elon Musk tweeted that he is working with Dogecoin developers to improve the system transaction efficiency. This contributed to a rebound in DOGE price from $0.40 to $0.50 in a single day. With this announcement, the case can be made that DOGE price in part reacts to fundamental developments and not Tweets about funny memes.Dogecoin may even benefit from an actual use case. Musk’s SpaceX rocket company said it is going to launch the “DOGE-1” Lunar mission in the first quarter of 2022, which will definitely put Dogecoin on the map of investors again — although this may be a catalyst for next year.Should you buy Dogecoin now?Let’s face it, this is a meme cryptocurrency that is heavily influenced by billionaire influencers, and it is making fun of the entire cryptocurrency industry. Its spike in value cannot really be predicted due to the fact that it relies heavily on social media attention and journalism headlines. However, despite this, it has gotten a lot of value throughout the year, and if we look at the table, it has had quite the roller coaster ride in terms of value. Influencers such as Glauber Contessoto have become millionaires through DOGE, where he invested over $250,000 in dogecoin on Feb. 5, when it was priced at about 4.5 cents. So, as an investment, it can and has generated potentially life-changing returns.But the opposite certainly holds true and it would be a disservice not to remind investors that investing in Dogecoin can be a gamble.One thing is for sure, traders love Dogecoin, the media loves reporting on it and individual people with little to no cryptocurrency knowledge love talking about it. Despite the crashing price, it will unlikely become a “thing of the past” anytime soon.As such, the cryptocurrency has the potential to, at one point in time in the future, rise up again in value. As we have seen in the past, a mere 100 character Tweet is enough of a catalyst to send DOGE price higher.Even at $0.16 in the eyes of many, it might be a good value buy, given the fact that at one point in time it was at $0.73 and was headed towards the $1 mark. Believers in the coin will support it no matter what, so jumping in on the bandwagon while it is low might be an excellent idea, assuming you want to sell it the next time it spikes back up in value again. Again, Dogecoin started 2021 at $0.005, making it 3200% more valuable today despite the crash it is currently experiencing. With its future developments, the developers are prioritizing security, and this could boost its popularity, and by default its price. Again, be sure to only invest what you can afford to lose.The post Should you buy Dogecoin?

The department of Social Affairs in Iran’s Interior Ministry sent a letter to the Fanavaran Blockchain Association, ordering it to stop all its activities over reports of violation. This latest development follows a long line of ups and downs plaguing the Iranian crypto market. Fanavarian Blockchain Association Undergoing Investigation Over Allegations Of Violation In the letter addressed to the Blockchain Association, the Social Affairs Department ordered a complete halt of all activities. They also demanded all details pertaining to expenses from its official bank account and financial income invoices. The Association was also ordered to provide detailed activity reports for the last two years especially pertaining to digital currency, including its association with companies in that field.  The order followed the publication of some reports about the activities of a few cryptocurrency companies in the Fanavaran Blockchain association site that violated the currency outflow laws.  Iran’s Early Dabbles With Cryptocurrency In early 2019, Iran legalized and issued regulations on cryptocurrencies, forbidding their use in transactions domestically, but permitting their possession and “mining.” Before Iran banned or regulated cryptocurrencies, it was an ideal place for mining since the government subsidizes domestic electricity.  To avoid being under-compensated for utilities, Iran initially compromised by requiring bitcoin mining operations to register with the government and pay for energy at the price at which it is exported. By summer 2020, Iran had warmed up to their Bitcoin miners and reduced the electricity tariff of registered mining operations by 47%.  Study Found Iran Using Crypto To Sidestep US Sanctions With former US President Donald Trump exiting Tehran's 2015 nuclear deal and reimposing an almost total economic embargo on Iran, including a ban on all imports, including those from the country's oil, banking and shipping sectors, the country had to turn to crypto. According to research data collected by Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance up to April 2020, around 4.5% of all Bitcoin mining took place in Iran. This allowed the country to earn hundreds of millions of dollars in cryptocurrencies, used to buy imports and lessen the impact of sanctions. Crypto Mining Ban Blamed On High Energy Consumption The latest imposed halt on blockchain activities is not the first hurdle faced by the Iranian crypto industry. Last month, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani announced a temporary 4-month ban on all energy-intensive crypto mining activities. With many Bitcoin mining operations setting shop across the country to sidestep US sanctions, these unregulated high-energy operations had reportedly been causing frequent power cuts.  The Ministry of Energy had previously shut down 1,620 illegal bitcoin mining operations with a capacity of 250 megawatts. However, bitcoin advocates had noted at the time that the country’s blackouts continued even after the authorities had done their sweep. This could indicate that Iran’s energy levels might not be as profoundly depleted by mining operations. Instead, the ban could be a sign of the country’s progression towards stricter crypto regulations.  Disclaimer: This article is provided for informational purposes only.
