Technical analysis of BTC/USD for 15/10/2019

Crypto Industry News:

Recent data from the GlassNode portal clearly show that the number of Bitcoin (BTC) addresses with balances of over 1000 BTC (USD 8.3 million) is increasing at the same pace this year as before 2014.

The growing balance of bitcoin wallets indicates a repetition of history, when the growth rate in this area, in the early BTC years, showed a similar impetus, and fresh appetite for rich bitcoin balances at much higher prices than five years ago speaks to richer people who boldly enter into cryptocurrency space.

It turns out that people who could then generate wallets with a capacity of not less than 1000 BTC just out of curiosity, today they do it solely for financial reasons, so we are probably experiencing a new bitcoin renaissance, this time fueled by the inflow of capital from investors with high net worth, while the first was from technology enthusiasts who were charging the network.

The desire to have BTC increased when altcoins did not succeed in 2019, essentially maintaining an uninterrupted bear market from the peak in 2017. At the same time, BTC had to become more promising for investors and breeders, achieving an increase of over 200% from the beginning of the year.

1000 BTC is currently worth over 8.3 million dollars. At the same time, we observe a smaller desire to have a comprehensive BTC unit. People are starting to enjoy bitcoin divisibility, also collecting larger or smaller parts of it.
