What Does This Mean?
After the meeting between, Eric Trump and Michael Saylor, who runs a company that holds over 150,000 Bitcoins and he has been very vocal about the potential of Bitcoin, the caption on the X post, indicates the acceptance of the cryptocurrency on a large scale by Trump istration. From Eric Trump’s recent appearances, it seems that he is trying to promote the cryptocurrency for greater adoption.
Bitcoin’s Minor Price Surge
After the picture was posted by Eric Trump on his X , the token saw a small surge in its price. Currently the token price stands at $96,178.34 with a surge of 0.3% in the last 24 hours. It is being speculated that this endorsement by Eric Trump will lead to an increased investor interest. However, through historic data it is clear that such moves do provide an uptick for the token for a very small period of time and the price dips quickly.
What Next’s for Bitcoin?
With the Trump istration, the price of the Bitcoin token as per analysts, is anticipated to rise above $100,000 mark. Interestingly, Eric trump in his previous interview had predicted that the price of the Bitcoin token may hit $ 1 million, calling it cornerstone of revolution but it is noteworthy that during Trump istration back in 2017 to 2021, the Bitcoin token surged from $1000 to $30,000 by 2020 and the same surge can be expected this time along with crypto-friendly regulations in the coming weeks.
