4 powerful forces driving Bitcoin far higher

You have the opportunity for what could be some of the largest gains of the bull market

Unsubscribe Dear Reader, No great bull market ever happens without intermediate corrections along the way. The same is true for Bitcoin, but with three striking differences:   * The Bitcoin corrections are greater than what you'd typically see in stocks. That's normal. * The subsequent surges are FAR greater, sometimes driving values up by 1,000%, 2,000% or more. Also, very normal! * The ups and downs in Bitcoin are more cyclical than in other asset classes, which makes them relatively more predictable. So, here's what we've found: The most important — and potentially most profitable — cycle typically ends just before Bitcoin enjoys its most explosive surge. (See point B in charts below.) In all past bull-market cycles, when Bitcoin reached the equivalent point, it soon launched into a parabolic surge that made investors fortunes. And now, everything tells us that Bitcoin is about to do something very similar. What's behind this historic surge? We see four critical forces driving Bitcoin higher: Force #1 is the Federal Reserve. It has just printed $3.6 trillion in fresh new dollars to pump into the economy and has vowed to keep printing MORE for years to come. For investors around the world who have nearly all their money in dollars or dollar-denominated assets, that's scary as all hell. And it's continuing to drive them into crypto. Force #2 is big institutions. In the last crypto bull market, they had virtually zero interest in cryptocurrencies. Warren Buffett even declared to the world that Bitcoin is "rat poison squared." However, in this bull market, the big players are jumping in. Tesla, Fidelity, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, PayPal, MasterCard, Visa and many more. Force #3 is the blockchain technology itself. During the last bull market, it was still in its infancy with multiple false starts and even fake projects — much like the early dot-com days when no one could figure out how to make real money on the Internet. Now, blockchain has far broader and bigger PRACTICAL applications that provide real-world, tangible services. Example: The Decentralized Finance sector, which is creating a brand-new financial system on the blockchain and has already grown 50-fold in just the last year. Force #4 is the individual investors like you and me. Last time around, it was very hard for them to get into crypto. Just to open a crypto exchange account was a royal pain in the butt. Today, it's far easier to open an account. And when crypto ETFs become available, you can expect another big flood of money into cryptocurrencies. Here's your key takeaway: If you have not taken full advantage of what this bull market has to offer … Our research is telling us it's not too late. In fact, your timing couldn't be better! You could benefit from a far better entry price. You could greatly reduce the downside risk. And you have the opportunity for what could be some of the largest gains of the bull market. So, to help you take full advantage of the parabolic phase, my team and I have created … The Weiss Crypto Profit Challenge Our 3-Part Series of Crypto Training Videos It shows you how to pick the best cryptos, how to know when to buy or sell, how to identify the ultimate top of the bull market and how to do it successfully on your own.
