XRP and BTC Prices Spike Amid Rumors of Powell's Resignation
Earlier this Tuesday, the prices of Bitcoin (BTC), XRP, and other major tokens surged higher after rumors of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's resignation started spreading like wildfire on the X social media network.
Several right-wing influencers and some cryptocurrency accounts began sharing a resignation letter that was allegedly written by Powell.
However, there is no official statement regarding Powell's resignation, and the aforementioned letter is obviously not authentic.
Apart from nonsensical text, its seal, which was likely generated with the help of artificial intelligence (AI), features some gibberish text instead of clearly legible titles. There are also some glaring design inconsistencies that clearly show that the letter is not authentic.

However, the low-effort letter was still seemingly able to push crypto prices higher, with Bitcoin now approaching the $120,000 level.

There is an ongoing right-wing pressure campaign aimed at Powell due to the Fed's interest rates. During her recent appearance on Fox Business, pro-Bitcoin Wyoming Senator Cynthia Lummis urged Powell to resign.
FHFA director Bill Pulte, who has been aggressively targeting Powell, believes that Powell will be resigning "soon," but he has clarified that today is not the day.
I believe Powell will be resigning soon, but today is not the day.

At the same time, some argue that ousting Powell before the end of his term will likely undermine the Fed's independence. As reported by U.Today, cryptocurrency mogul Mike Novogratz described this as "Banana Republic moves" while also urging investors to buy Bitcoin. Some believe that Powell's sudden outsintg could potentially boost crypto.

It's amazing how many people put their money into something completely meaningless, just with the idea of getting rich overnight.
What's the proposal that this $TRUMP has? Nothing, absolutely nothing, except to make the big players who got in first even richer. The worst thing is that many people don't have new money to invest in this, so they ended up closing their positions in other much better currencies to get in on this...
Most people think that they will get rich with this new miracle currency, when in fact they won't, but they will make a small group of whales and the currency team much richer, look at the Capitalization that this has achieved in just a few days. They made a lot of money easily and are already finishing the new currency to SELL to everyone this week 🤭😅
Some whales have already started selling to buy the new currency and when you realize this, it will be too late! 😅🫂
$XRP For those who are thinking about buying, don't think twice. This currency will make thousands of millionaires in the long term. It will replace traditional financial systems.
#ZEREBRO I'm currently 300% up in Zerebro since I said it was going to go up I opened a long cross with 75x leverage, take advantage of it as this is going to go up a lot more 🚨🔥
todos sabemos que o bitcoin nos próximos 10 anos estará no top 1 ativos do planeta por isso é o investimento mais seguro de todos $BTC #BTC #Binance #walles

Stunning $350,000 Bitcoin Price Prediction Shared by Jeremie Davinci
In a recently published tweet, Jeremie Davinci, an early Bitcoin adopter and cryptocurrency millionaire, has revealed the scenario how BTC can soar to roughly $350,000 without naming any particular time frames for that.
Davinci named an important Bitcoin metric he used while coming up with his Bitcoin price outlook.
Bitcoin can hit over 5x BTC mining cost, per Davinci
Davinci stated that currently it costs roughly $70,000 for miners to produce one Bitcoin, and they have better gear and often use cheap electricity for mining.
The crypto influencer revealed that in past bull markets, Bitcoin has managed to soar more than 5x the BTC mining cost. Therefore, taking into account that currently miners spend $70,000 to mine one BTC, the price of the largest cryptocurrency may skyrocket as high as $350,000 in the future if a bullish scenario described by Jeremie Davinci plays out. “Huge potential ahead!” he stated speaking about the Bitcoin price. At the time of writing this material, Bitcoin is changing hands at $94,420.
It costs miners about $70k to produce 1 #Bitcoin now, less with better hardware or cheap energy. In past bull markets, Bitcoin’s price has hit over 5x the mining cost. Huge potential ahead!

Bitcoin is crashing, great news, Robert Kiyosaki says
Earlier this week, the renowned investor and author of the popular book on finance managing skills “Rich Dad Poor Dad” Robert Kiyosaki took to the X platform to publicly celebrate the Bitcoin price crash as it went down below $96,000 from roughly $102,000.

Back then, Kiyosaki tweeted that he found the news about Bitcoin crashing to be great. The financial guru explained his joy, saying that Bitcoin got on sale and it was now possible to start buying it at a big discount.
He also reminded the community that almost 20 million Bitcoins out of 21 million have been mined already, which leaves less than 2 million BTC to be produced by miners. After the April 2024 halving, the Bitcoin block reward constitutes 3.125 BTC. The final Bitcoin, according to Satoshi’s plan, is to be mined in the year 2140.
