Welcome to today’s overview:
MARKETS
The situation with this asset has seemed to be significantly more positive since last week’s BTC dropped to $ 35,500 in two days. It gradually regained its value and a few days later it touched $ 37,000. In addition, BTC continued to rise over the weekend, reaching a maximum of $ 38,700.
However, he failed to continue at the set pace and began to lose value. As a result, BTC settled around $ 38,000, but the situation worsened in the following hours. More specifically, BTC fell below $ 37,000. Currently, BTC is only slightly above this limit.
The Altcoins presented particularly impressively over the weekend, especially on Saturday, but now the situation is completely different and almost all charts are dominated by red. ETH reached a multi-day high above $ 2,600, but a 3.2% decline since then knocked the second largest cryptocurrency to just above $ 2,500.

Cryptocurrencies
Salvadoran President Bukele firmly believes that the “gigantic rise in the price of BTC” is only a matter of time
The global crypto market fell to $ 1.67 trillion due to the decline that affected BTC and other crypto assets. Although the downward trend is not over, BTC evangelists remain optimistic about the future.
Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele recently explained on Twitter why a “gigantic price increase” awaits the flagship cryptocurrency. Bukele noted that there are more than 50 million millionaires in the world, while there are only 21 million BTC. If all the millionaires decided that each of them would own at least one BTC, there would not be enough coins for everyone. This would in turn trigger a parabolic price increase.
Peter Brandt says it may be time to buy BTC
Trade veteran Peter Brandt indicated in a recent tweet that it might be time to buy BTC. Brandt said the market mood had become too bearish and therefore believed that the cryptocurrency was likely to go up.
I find it fascinating that many (not all) on social media who wore laser eyes in Mar/Apr and predicted a rocket shot 🚀for $BTC in Nov now are predicting that the $30k level will be violated

Buying assets at a time when the market is afraid is one of the most popular principles of contrarian investing.
He also added a price chart that shows that BTC is creating a declining channel on the weekly chart. Although such patterns are considered bearish in the short term, the flagship cryptocurrency is likely to grow further if the bulls cross the upper trend line.
Brandt reiterated in his tweet that editing BTC images by adding laser eyes is an eloquent sign of the top of the market.

Territory in the North East of Australia is launching its own CBDC
Yidindji Sovereign Government (SYG) in North East Australia has issued the Central Bank’s Digital Currency (CBDC) and the MetaMUI digital identity card system. The indigenous people of Yidindji have lived in this area for more than 60,000 years and in 2014 they founded SYG.

A former BOJ official warns against using digital yen in the financial sector
According to a report published in the Japan Times, Hiromi Yamaoka, a former head of the BOJ’s financial settlement department, does not recommend using digital only as part of the country’s monetary policy.
Yamaoka is most concerned about negative interest rates and believes that once digital becomes a major tool for mass payments, the general public would have to bear the brunt of the declining fiat currency. He also warned that digital could only pose a risk to financial stability and could have catastrophic consequences for the economy.
Yamaoka currently operates in the private sector and chairs a forum of 74 companies, including some of the largest banks in the country. The forum is currently working on launching a private digital currency in April this year.
