But the love-in wasn't to last, with prices later tumbling to lows of $46,347.48. The sell-offs were even more pronounced in the altcoin markets. Analysts believe the fall may have been triggered by one or two big funds taking profit. Here's your recap of the weekend's drama.
| | | | Dogecoin suffered a dramatic decline after Elon Musk encouraged major DOGE holders to sell most of their coins. Tesla's CEO disapproves of the fact that just a dozen people own close to 50% of the coin's total supply. One person owns 28.7% of all DOGE in existence. Now more than ever, the altcoin's value is tied closely to the billionaire's musings. Read more here. | | |
| Litecoin founder Charlie Lee has warned that the supply of NFTs will eventually overwhelm demand, causing prices to enter freefall. On Twitter, he wrote: "The problem with NFTs is that they are non-finite tokens." Although creating art takes time, Lee claimed that these tokens can be replicated cheaply and suffer from "artificial scarcity." Read more here. | | |
| Bitcoin miners now earn 0.97 BTC in transaction fees per block, figures from Clark Moody Bitcoin suggest. This average has been taken over the past 2,000 blocks. Transaction fees have been rising recently and are making up a greater percentage of the overall reward, helping to compensate for the BTC halving.

So, our question is this….
Will Dogecoin ever fall below $0.01 again?
|  | | |  | | | | | | What You Said 🔊 | Back on Friday, we asked you this: On a scale of 1-5 (5 being definitely,) do you think that more major companies will end up buying Bitcoin as a reserve asset?
Thanks for all your responses — 67.6% of you said this will definitely happen, while just 2.4% of you believe that other corporations won't copy Tesla. Here's what you had to say, including some predictions of which companies might be next…
| | | | One of you writes: "I think crypto is the future and companies will have no choice but to follow the trend." 🤑
This reader adds: "Because of the good performance and decentralization of Bitcoin, new companies will definitely be attracted. Apple, Microsoft and Uber are probably next." 🤩
Another confidently predicts: "Large caps will follow Tesla — it's better to be in Bitcoin than have cash sitting in the bank." 🚀
Continuing the theme, this contributor says: "It seems inevitable. Apple and Google. Both will offer their own coins in the near future." 👀
Some of you are looking beyond tech giants: "Multinational companies such as The Coca-Cola Company and Barclays will follow Tesla." 🌍
And the final word goes to this reader: "No one wants to be first, but also no one wants to be last! Apple is rumored to be next. Oil companies possibly, to offset loss in revenue from new U.S. admin policies." 😎
