From an influential trader’s take on Bitcoin to the popularity contest between Ethereum and Tron, here’s a look at some of the stories breaking in the world of crypto.

Bitcoin

Chinese crypto billionaire Zhao Dong says he expects Bitcoin to reach $50,000 in three years. As reported by 8BTC, the prominent Chinese OTC Bitcoin trader took to social media platform Weibo to analyze where BTC may be headed.

“In the bull market, I don’t persuade people to buy Bitcoin because it seems easy to make quick money but in fact, it is not. Now I start to talk people into buying Bitcoin.

Those who make truckloads of money do not have a very short-term speculative-driven investment mindset. Perhaps Bitcoin price will continue to drop even lower, and it may fall up to 50%. But it is still worth steadily acquiring coins every time it hits a new low. You possibly see a yield of 100 to 200% in 3 years.”
