The Dollar Wrecking Ball: Why is a strong US dollar so dangerous?
The rising US dollar strength is starting to produce cracks across economies and markets.

With the achievement of the new ATH, it is becoming increasingly clear that cryptocurrencies will be a significant factor in shaping the financial world in the future. Opinions differ as to how far its price can go due to its unique properties. But one thing is certain. Bitcoin and many other cryptocurrencies have already built such a strong position that everyone must count on them in the future.
CEO of Celsius, a cryptocurrencies loan company, says Bitcoin is undoubtedly heading for the new ATH and will break the $ 100,000 mark in 2021. Alex Mashinsky also urges investors to keep Bitcoin as far as possible and not to spend it. The data show that more and more people are using the most known cryptocurrency as a method of payment.
As an example of how to do this, he talked about the often mentioned Tesla, which, in addition to adding BTC as a payment method, declared that they would not convert the received cryptocurrency into FIAT currencies and would keep it. According to him, this is exactly the path that companies and investors should take in their thinking towards cryptocurrencies. He also pointed out that many other factors also point to future growth in the price of this asset.

Bitcoin has once again managed to get into one of the most famous and longest-running television shows in the world - The Simpsons. In the 18th episode of the 32nd series of this animated sitcom, the ticker BTC appeared, among others, followed by the symbol of the horizontal figure eight - ie infinity.
The idea that the price of Bitcoin can rise indefinitely is not new and has already been expressed by Jesse Powell (CEO of Kraken) and Michael Saylor (CEO of MicroStrategy). It is based on the fact that the dollar and other classic FIAT currencies theoretically do not have their bottom, as more and more money is constantly being printed. It is this fact that can get Bitcoin to truly incredible values in the future, which have virtually no limits.
