Why Analysts Say Bitcoin's Projected Value and Growth is Still Expected to be Astronomical

science and technology

PALM BEACH, Fla., March 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Bitcoin was the first cryptocurrency to ever be created, sparking the birth of an entire industry and thousands upon thousands of altcoins to be created in its image. Not only is Bitcoin the first of its kind, but it has been designed to disrupt and replace paper-based fiat currencies to become the global digital currency used by the entire population, regardless of what country or region they live in. Because Bitcoin is so powerful and has so much potential, Bitcoin's projected value and estimated growth could be astronomical. An article by a trading company said that " Speculation from crypto analysts and industry experts suggests that Bitcoin's long term value could reach over $100,000 to as much as one million dollars per BTC in the future by 2025… Considering all of the massive price projections and forecasts from industry experts that suggest Bitcoin will someday replace all currencies across the globe, it's easy to see what so many are bullish on Bitcoin, and why Bitcoin price predictions can reach such high numbers, ranging from thousands to even over $1 million dollars per BTC. The revolutionary technology has sparked an entire industry aimed at disrupting traditional finance, and cryptocurrencies are already well on their way to widespread adoption and regular use by the mainstream public." Active companies with recent developments in the Tech Industry include: Riot Blockchain, Inc. (NASDAQ: RIOT), Hello Pal International Inc. (OTCQB: HLLPF) (CSE: HP), Canaan Inc.

AEW Revolution 2021: Results, Christian signs, full recap and analysis

religion and belief

Sunday was AEW's second Revolution pay-per-view. Since the company only puts on four a year -- as opposed to WWE's 12-plus -- the card was stacked. It delivered in some ways but was a letdown in others. The show is likely to be remembered for its lacklustre post-main event angle, which was meant to barrage Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston in deadly explosions but instead went off like lousy pyro.

Science

In a letter, dated July 31, 1697, Jacques Sennacques asks his cousin Pierre Le Pers, a French merchant in The Hague, for a certified copy of a death notice for Daniel Le Pers.

How to watch Coming 2 America with Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall, streaming now

art and culture

Coming 2 America is finally here, and despite doing that weird thing where you put a literal number inside the title, we're quite looking forward to it. Coming to America came out in 1988, so it's been ... 33 years since the original comedy hit theaters? It's a testament to the film's success and cultural impact that anyone is interested in a sequel. Is it any good? Our reviewer Patrick Holland mostly liked it.

Best iPhone 2021: Apple currently sells 7 different models. Here's how to pick one

art and culture

When Steve Jobs launched the original iPhone back in 2007, there was only one model you could buy. Once you worked up the courage to buy a phone from a company that was better known for making computers, the only decision you had was whether to get one with 4GB of storage or 8GB. As color options went, you could get any color you wanted as long as it was black and aluminum. Oh, and as far as carriers, only AT&T supported the iPhone.

science and technology

Apple's iPhone 12 lineup has only been on virtual shelves for a few months, and already the mobile phone world has turned its attention to the iPhone 13 (or whatever Apple names its next flagship) and the three other variants expected to join the lineup: the iPhone 13 Mini, iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.

Weekly unemployment benefits now $300: How long they'll last, what about taxes

Finance

The Senate passed a new version of the $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief plan on Saturday, all but cementing funding for the third stimulus check and Child Tax Credit. However, the unemployment benefits provision received some adjustment (and so did the $1,400 stimulus check). The federal unemployment check bonus, which adds a set amount to whatever your state provides per week, will be extended to September.

This time around, Best Buy is having a three-day sale that started Friday night and runs through Sunday. There are hundreds of items on sale with some crazy-deep discounts-in fact, a handful of items are over 70% off.

Moved to a new state during COVID-19? Your taxes are going to be chaotic

Finance

Filing taxes is complicated this year, from having to claim any missing stimulus payments to worrying whether filing too soon (or too late) will disqualify you from receiving a third stimulus check. But if you moved to another state because of the COVID-19 pandemic, that adds another set of issues to your tax return.

Child tax credit 2021 passes Senate, teeing up more money than the stimulus check

New rules around the child tax credit could bring families thousands of dollars in 2021. On Saturday, the Senate passed a revised version of the $1.9 trillion stimulus bill, leaving the provisions for the child tax credit intact even while changing some major qualifications around how the $1,400 stimulus check is calculated (estimate your total payment now) and incorporating rewrites to the federal weekly unemployment benefits.

The $1.9 trillion stimulus bill could become law as soon as Tuesday, now that the Senate has approved the package.

Stimulus check formula: Your $1,400 check amount could be different now

Finance

The $1.9 trillion relief package is in the Senate's court this week, and the upper chamber right away started making changes ranging adjusting unemployment benefits to lowering the income limit on who might qualify for the third stimulus check. President Joe Biden supports the new targeted income limit that would disqualify up to 16 million people, The Hill reported. This alteration could be the final factor the IRS uses to determine the size of your next payment -- which is much different from the first two payments. Will you still be eligible for the full $1,400 payment -- or perhaps more? Or will it qualify you for much less or no money at all?
