“The formal reason was Tesla’s reporting, which said that the company had bought bitcoin for $ 1.5 billion. Tesla itself was going to accept bitcoins as payment for its cars.
For bitcoin, this is good news: when something that does not have an essence under it begins to acquire this essence in the form of a means of payment, it receives a certain foundation, ”said Golubovsky.
However, the expert stressed that due to the peculiarities of Tesla, this decision has rather symbolic significance for the development of bitcoin.
At the same time, he drew attention to the fact that the growth of bitcoin is also explained by a number of technical reasons and the growth of its investment potential on the part of the ordinary population.
“I think that bitcoin will grow to $ 47-65 thousand ... If we rely on historical experience, then bitcoin still has much to grow.
There is still a potential for growth, we have not yet reached the next moment when bitcoin will collapse again, but we will reach it, ”Golubovsky said.
The specialist added that another drop in Bitcoin prices should be expected in March.
“How quickly will Bitcoin grow to its highs?
It seems to me that it will be mid-March, maybe earlier, after which there will be another reversal.
As a result, prices will be lower than now, and there will be an opportunity to buy bitcoin even cheaper, ”the specialist concluded.
Earlier, the cost of bitcoin once again updated its historical maximum, exceeding the $ 43 thousand mark.
