The crypto sphere has always been an interesting arena for discussions and several opinions and analysis make it even more of an interesting affair.
Source- TwitterRecently, a famous crypto trader, analyst, and Bitcoin investor, Willy Woo has come up with an interesting case. He claims that, although Bitcoin’s technology is old, no other crypto asset has the potential to come close to the Lindy Effect that Bitcoin has established. As per the Lindy effect, the mortality rate decreases with time. Interestingly, with Bitcoin hogging all the limelight it recently proved CNBC’s Brian Kelly Bearish stance to be false and reclaimed its support above $10,000

In order, to establish the Lindy Effect, greater liquidity and longevity is needed. More importantly, Bitcoin will continue to assert dominance owing to its pre-established market value.

Altcoins and the CryptosphereWith all this being said, altcoins have indeed had a tough time surviving the crypto winters and reclaiming their space. Notwithstanding Bitcoin’s valuation, altcoins do have their fair share of achievements, be it related to their blockchains or price trends.
In another news reported, by Coingape Siam Commercial Bank Thailand has officially agreed to use Ripple to power cross-border payments through its Easy Pay app.
Coming from a physics background the unpredictability and intrigue of the cryptoverse attracted me to take a dive in this field. I am all eyes and ears for the latest trends in blockchain and crypto sphere. Whenever I am not writing or researching, I love to read sci-fi novels, play basketball and watch action movies. I strongly believe that blockchain and cryptocurrency will bring lasting transformations in people’s lives in the years to come. You can reach out to me at supriya [at] coingape.com.
