Cryptocurrency Analysts on Bitcoin
Popular analysts give different opinions regarding cryptocurrency. The market analyst Will Woo states that the $BTC market might have actually gained massive institutional support with a number of financial giants and wealthy traders all flocking in order to add $BTC to their own portfolio.
It's the retail traders, however, that drive the market. Willy Woo pointed out that retail traders will continue to buy much more stock of Bitcoin in the ongoing dip. During the latest $BTC mining difficulty adjustment that happened last Saturday on July 17, 2021, the Bitcoin price dropped yet another 5% hitting its new low ever since January 2020.
