Bitcoin has been surging since Donald Trump’s surprising win, rising by 21% in the last 7 days and hitting a new all-time high.
While many credit Trump's win as the reason for Bitcoin's success, others believe the recent surge is due to the supply shock caused by the Bitcoin halving that occurred 6+ months ago.
Jesse Meyers, co-founder of Onramp Bitcoin, explained that there is not enough supply available at current prices to meet the growing demand, leading to a need for supply-demand equilibrium.
Prominent analysts like Anthony Scaramucci predict long-term growth for Bitcoin, citing factors such as the US setting up a Bitcoin reserve and the limited number of Bitcoins left to be mined.
