Sarcastic forecast for Bitcoin from CEO ZenGO
ZenGo CEO Ouriel Ohayon posted on Twitter his prediction for 2020, which slightly shocked the crypto-community: “Bitcoin will drop below $ 1,000. All hardware wallets will be hacked. Tron and XRP will become the most important cryptocurrencies. Satoshi’s identity will be revealed and will be disappointing. Lightning will enjoy tremendous adoption.”
As it turned out, it was a sarcastic prediction, which apparently needs to be translated exactly the opposite. With these tweets, Ohayon questioned the views of those who predict a significant fall in the Bitcoin price, as well as the success of cryptocurrencies such as XRP and Tron. He also does not think that we will have an early mass adoption of Lightning Network technology and do not believe that we will be able to identify the Bitcoin founder.
