Anthony Scaramucci: Bitcoin hodlers will do well despite sloppiness and ‘waves’ of volatility

  • Anthony Scaramucci says the Bitcoin market could see fresh price declines, forecasting waves of volatility for the leading cryptocurrency.

  • The SkyBridge Capital CEO revealed he won’t be buying the dip, even as BTC price retreats from highs of $44,400.

  • He notes that Bitcoin is still an “early adoption story” and believes its price will grow long-term.

SkyBridge Capital CEO Anthony Scaramucci believes Bitcoin is headed for more volatility, even as he predicts long-term holders of the cryptocurrency will still be profitable amid further adoption and use of the cryptocurrency.

The SkyBridge chief noted this in an interview with CNBC’s “Crypto Night in America” on Thursday.

Bitcoin price dipped below the $40,000 level earlier this week before rallying over the last three days to top around $44,400. The weakness in the broader stock market has also seen the digital gold slip to support around $41,790.

While many analysts remain bullish for the cryptocurrency long term, there are suggestions Bitcoin’s “lockstep” trading with traditional stock markets could see it dip further, with investor sentiment likely weighed by the Fed’s tightening cycle.

In the interview, Scaramucci was asked what he thought is next for the Bitcoin price after its plunge from the all-time highs of $69,000 reached last November.

Acknowledging the nosedive in BTC value, he told CNBC that he expects there to be more consolidation.

„I definitely think there is a lot of leverage in the system and there’s been massive deleveraging,“ he explained. 

He opined that some of the sloppiness seen in the market was linked to the crackdown in China last year, with many holders likely flushed out by Chinese exchanges at the end of 2021 due to the ban on crypto trading.

Scaramucci also commented on his firm’s plans during the current dip in Bitcoin price, indicating that the firm would not be buying the dip.

He noted that SkyBridge had “bought on the fringe a little and added to [its] multi-coin and Polygon exposure. However, it wasn’t planning to add any more or take away from its substantial Bitcoin stake, he added.

On the issue of Bitcoin volatility, the SkyBridge chief said he sees the market experiencing “some sloppiness and waves of volatility. This should see investors jump on and off the market, which is expected as Bitcoin is an “early technology adoption story.”

Even then, Scaramucci is bullish on Bitcoin’s long-term outlook and believes long-term holders will do well.

Bitcoin was trading around $42,486, down about 4% in intraday deals and nearly 10% in the red over the past two weeks.

In March 2021, Elon Musk enabled Bitcoin payments for Tesla cars and in less than two months later terminated Bitcoin payments until Bitcoin goes green. But it was long before the EV manufacture, Tesla, resumed Bitcoin payments; it resumed BTC payments in October the same year.

Last month (December 2021) Musk said that Tesla would soon start accepting payments in Dogecoin for its merchandise. And true to his word, Dogecoin payments on Tesla online shops have gone live for selected items.

What customers can purchase

Customers can now choose to purchase from a selection of items using the DOGE coin.

Some of the selected items that customers can purchase using the meme coin include a “Giga Texas Belt Buckle” for 835 DOGE (US$166), a cyberwhistle for around 300 DOGE (US$59), and an electric cyberquad for 12,020 DOGE (US$2,391).

Musk personally owns Ether (ETH), Bitcoin (BTC), and dogecoin (DOGE) and according to Bitcoin treasuries Tesla holds around 42,900 BTC on its corporate balance sheet, second only to MicroStrategy.

Market highlights January 14: Bitcoin takes a step back, big banks kick off earnings season

The crypto market was mostly lower over the past 24 hours. Major investment bank JPMorgan Chase reports its Q4 results today, alongside Citigroup and Wells Fargo, as financial firm stocks rise on the back of heightened interest rate rise expectations.

Tech stocks sent US indices lower again yesterday with the NASDAQ100 falling 2.57% to its lowest level since October 2021.

Top cryptos

Bitcoin, which has been on a positive run recently, had retracted by around 2% at time of writing. However, the world’s largest crypto is still up more than 3% for the week.

The price of Dogecoin has been surging ever since Elon Musk announced Tesla would start accepting it as payment for some of its merchandise. This became possible during Asian hours this morning. At the time of writing, Dogecoin had gained 14% in 24 hours.

Top movers

Most top 100 coins have lost between 2 and 6% of their value today. Elrond has lost 8%, leading some to wonder whether to buy the dip. Elrond describes itself as a blockchain platform for the new internet economy, decentralized applications and enterprise use.

Its main selling point is its high scalability, stating that it is the first blockchain network in which state, network and transaction sharding have all been implemented.

Gala, the most successful metaverse token in 2021, has also shed 8% of its value in the last 24 h. The downtrend for THORChain, Enjin Coin, XDC Network, and Loopring continues. Each has lost around 7%.

Kadena, which is said to provide the security of Bitcoin, virtually free gas, unparalleled throughput, and smarter contracts, is the biggest loser of the day with a price decline of 9%.

This is a dubious honor shared with WOO Network, a deep liquidity network connecting traders, exchanges, institutions, and DeFi platforms. WOO token, which is used in the network’s CeFi and DeFi products for staking and fee discounts, has also lost 9% today.

At the other end of the scale is Secret, the native coin of Secret Network. Its blockchain features data privacy for smart contracts by default, allowing you to build and use applications that are both permissionless and privacy-preserving.

This functionality protects users, secures applications, and unlocks hundreds of never-before-possible use cases for Web3. Secret continues yesterday’s bull trend, adding 20% to its value today.

Trending

The most impressive gainer of the day is the Metaverse Future (METAF), conceived with a mission to create an open Metaverse. In it, people not only play games to earn money, but also freely create values to serve the needs of the population of the Metaverse. It is up almost 3,000% today.

The price of PolySwarm cybersecurity company’s native token, Nectar, is surging today. It gained 66% in the last 24 hours.
