“I would say, there certainly feels to be Chinese money moving into this space, into crypto. Why did Bitcoin go from $4,000 to $8,000? Because of Facebook, because of Microsoft. I think because of this trade war, and because a lot of the selling was done,” he said.
Microsoft and Facebook are making important moves in the crypto space
The Daily Hodl also mentions that Microsoft has recently revealed that they are building a decentralized identity platform on the blockchain of BTC and Facebook is also set to launch its crypto called GlobalCoin in 2020.
