Crypto: Will Bitcoin Outperform In This Crisis?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In “Crypto In This Crisis: Pantera Blockchain Letter, March 2020,”<\/a> Dan Morehead and Joey Krug of blockchain-centric fund Pantera Capital explained that Bitcoin will “probably out-perform other tokens for a while,” explaining that it is one of the crypto projects that are entrenched and doesn’t rely on funding per se:<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a project that\u2019s already built, it works, it has an 11-year track record. Many newer blockchain and smart contract projects are still in development and might be stressed to raise funding to complete their development.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

They further explained that “there’s typically a flight-to-quality” or flight to safety “where people want to put money in the mega-caps, the safest asset, \u201cthe Treasuries\u201d of the industry.” In the case of crypto assets, Bitcoin is a Treasury bond, as it is much more liquid than the rest.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin Could Hit New Highs Within a Year: Pantera CEO<\/h2>\n

Pantera doesn’t only think the crypto market will begin to recentralize around Bitcoin, the fund also thinks the leading digital asset will outperform amid these times of crisis.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the letter, Morehead explained that the unorthodox monetary and fiscal response to the crisis will be extremely bullish for Bitcoin. He wrote:<\/p>\n

As governments increase the quantity of paper money, it takes more pieces of paper money to buy things that have fixed quantities, like stocks and real estate, above where they would settle absent an increase in the amount of money. The corollary is they\u2019ll also inflate the price of other things, like gold, bitcoin, and other cryptocurrencies.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As to how exactly it will affect Bitcoin, Morehead explains that with this backdrop, it will take around 12 months<\/a> for the BTC price to \u201cset a new record\u201d above $20,000, which would mark at least a 230% rally from the current price point of $6,200 in under a year\u2019s time.<\/p>\n
