‘One reason why I trust Bitcoin is…’ Robert Kiyosaki’s backing vs. Peter Schiff’s ‘breakout’ calls

In the ongoing discourse on the value and reliability of different investment assets, the debate between supporters of Bitcoin and gold recently gained further attention. Robert Kiyosaki, the author of "Rich Dad Poor Dad," is championing Bitcoin over traditional assets like gold and silver. Kiyosaki's endorsement of Bitcoin is rooted in its scarcity, due to the cryptocurrency's fixed supply of 21 million coins. He argues that this inherent limitation shields Bitcoin from inflationary pressures, as opposed to commodities like gold, silver, or oil, whose supplies can increase if prices rise and production ramps up.

Whales Purchase XRP Worth $1.8B In 30 Days In Spite Of Weak Price Performance

In recent times, the cryptocurrency XRP, ranking fourth in terms of market capitalization, has experienced significant volatility. Following a recovery in its price value in the previous month, XRP encountered a downtrend during the first week of May.

Data from Glassnode indicates that within a span of thirty days, whales have acquired XRP to the tune of $1.8 billion. This accumulation comes amid the coin's lackluster performance, indicating that these investors see potential for growth or are aiming to exert influence over the market by holding substantial amounts of XRP.

Cardano gains traction: ADA bulls eye $0.80 resistance next

Cardano (ADA) has experienced a notable surge, with its price rising by nearly 3% within a 24-hour period.
