As #Bitcoin today passes the historic milestone of $100K, our Market Strategist Joel Kruger gives his latest thoughts on the outlook for $BTC: "We believe the #Fed Chair’s comparison of Bitcoin to gold is a significant development as it introduces another level of credibility to bitcoin as a major asset in global markets. The fact that gold is still about 10 times larger than bitcoin should offer additional insight into how much more room there is for bitcoin to grow from current levels." #cryptocurrency #digitalassets
