Bank of Canada: Intrinsic Value of Bitcoin, Ethereum 'Hard to Establish'

In brief　　Canadas central bank has warned about “high-risk” assets like Bitcoin in a new report.　　The Bank of Canada sees cryptocurrencies as a threat.　　The Bank of Canada today issued a warning on cryptocurrencies, describing such assets as “high-risk.” And if you were among the group of investors who purchased Bitcoin at its peak of $63,000, that assessment likely comes as no surprise.　　In its annual review of vulnerabilities and risks in the financial sector, the central bank said that despite their growing popularity, the intrinsic value of assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum is “hard to establish.”　　The implication is that these assets are only good for speculation, and the events of the last week only fuel such criticisms. Bitcoin lost more than half of its value from its peak when it dropped to $30,000 yesterday in a crash that saw massive losses incurred across the crypto market. But Crypto believers say that such drawdowns are not uncommon and may even be healthy for the market. Bitcoin is currently trading for around $40,000 per coin.　　The bank included the crypto world in its vulnerability report because it is perceived as a threat to the financial status quo in the country.

Cathie Wood says Elon Musk will return to ‘green’ Bitcoin, ETF is now more likely

The CEO of Ark Investment Management, Cathie Wood, believes the controversial Tesla CEO and Dogecoin proponent, Elon Musk, will again embrace Bitcoin once greater adoption of renewable energy has occurred within the mining sector.　　Despite relations between Musk and the Bitcoin community souring, Wood predicted: “Elon will come back and be part of [the Bitcoin] ecosystem.”　　Wood‘s comments come on the same day that Ark’s Sam Korus published an update the firm‘s “open-source Solar+Battery+Bitcoin mining model” to allow historic testing of the system’s efficacy.　　Korus concluded: “The takeaway is that regardless of a Bitcoin bull of bear market, Bitcoin mining can incentivize additional solar and battery installations,” adding:　　“The next step is to dimension solar+battery+Bitcoin mining at the household level.”　　Musk replied to the post, noting that while such a system could be achieved over time, the recent “extreme” growth in Bitcoins hash rate could not have been supported by renewables.　　He advocated for the top 10 mining pools by hash rate to post audited breakdowns of their energy sources.　　With Wood anticipating renewables will soon represent a larger share of the energy fueling the mining sector, the Ark Invest founder is steadfast in her predictions of $500,000 BTC for the future despite the recent crash that
