Analyst reveals a $300 billion Ethereum, Cardano, Zilliqa Bitcoin price prediction

Cryptocurrency prices recoiled this week as longs liquidations coincided with rising fears of a recession and profit-taking. Bitcoin price dropped from this months high of $31,000 to ~$28,200. The same is true for other altcoins like Ethereum, Cardano, Injective, Zilliqa, and Safemoon.  Analysts are bullish on Bitcoin  Despite the recent pullback, some analysts are still bullish on Bitcoin. On Thursday, analysts wrote that we are in a new wave of a bullish cycle that could push crypto prices much higher in the coming months.  They noted that the collapse of FTX helped the industry by getting rid of highly speculative leveraged positions. The analysts also noted that Bitcoin was building its credentials as a safe haven as banks remain under pressure. It said:  “Any potential dislocation, whether on the banks credit side, or on the sovereign side positions bitcoin perfectly as a safe-haven asset alongside gold.”  Meanwhile, Changpeng Zhao, the founder of Binance, brought another angle in his crypto price prediction.

In the piece below, we will explore how the upgrade may affect the price of Ethereum and LSD (liquid staking derivatives) projects and tokens in the long run.  Exploring the background  To better understand the upgrade, we begin by closely examining the problem it aims to solve.  In December 2020, Ethereum went through an upgrade from the PoW (proof-of-work) system to PoS (proof-of-stake) consensus mechanism in an event better known as ‘The Merge.’  Ethereum has achieved relative scalability with its consensus mechanism, as it no longer employs time consuming problem-solving consensus mechanisms such as Bitcoins proof-of-work.

Euro stablecoin faces centralization criticism

Criticism has been leveled at a new euro-pegged stablecoin released in France due to a decision to restrict peer-to-peer transactions.  French bank Societe Generale-Forge (SGF) released the Ethereum-based stablecoin called EUR CoinVertible (EURCV) on April 20 which is available to only qualified institutional clients.  According to observers who reviewed its smart contract code, ERC-20 transfers need to first be approved by a centralized registrar — presumably one controlled by the bank — before the transaction is processed.  Sa isang Abril 20 tiririt, pseudonymous smart contract engineer “alephv.eth” explained:  “They coded it so they have to whitelist all users, process all user transfers, and even process your ERC20 approvals before they process your ‘transferFrom’ lmao.”  She further mocked the code in a separate post, nagpapahayag it was a “radical commitment to inefficiency in the name of regulation.”  Nonfungible token (NFT) project founder “foobar” tweeted to his over 127,000 followers on April 20 that it‘s “the worst code I’ve ever seen” and described the stablecoin as a “laughing stock.”  France launched a stablecoin on Ethereum and it‘s the worst code I’ve ever seen  Every ERC20 single transfer has to be approved in a separate eth tx submitted by a centralized registrar  What a laughingstock, is this your CBDC?  - foobar (@ 0xfoobar)
