An asset manager Mr. Grayscale in his recently published report under the heading “Valuing Bitcoin” said that the prevailing circumstances i.e. HodlerVs. Speculator Index is evidently going against the desired results and the time has come where Bitcoin is likely to witness bullish divergence. He further stated that the overall performance of Bitcoin during this year can be equated with what it was in the year 2016. This means that instead of going up, Bitcoin is gradually declining which is helping a lot to other cryptocurrencies to flourish, fill the vacuum and take a lead over Bitcoin.
Serious steps will need to be taken if Bitcoin wants to maintain its dominance within the crypto world, said the account manager, Mr. Grayscale.
