Bitcoin Price Reaches Fair Market Valuation, While Costs of Production Rise [newsbtc.com]

Bitcoin price may be dropping deeper into a downtrend over the course of the last few months, but the first-ever cryptocurrency is actually much closer now to fair market value than it has been throughout the year.
However, as Bitcoin price falls toward fair valuations, the cost of production rises exponentially, and may be part of the cause of the downtrend itself.

Bitcoin (BTC) Stopped by EOS Bulls, Gains versus Ethereum (ETH), TRX in the Top 20 [coingape.com]

For all the FUD being thrown around, Bitcoin has not only diffused expectation of an altcoin season but sets the tone for what has been repeatedly said over time. Bitcoin has evolved to be a reliable store of value, less of a medium of exchange or “electronic money” as previously designed by the elusive and anonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. Bitcoin bulls are buoyed and baying for blood after bleeding for the better half of the year.

The Bitcoin Magazine Holiday Shopping List, for the Bitcoiner in Your Life [bitcoinmagazine.com]

It’s December, and y’all know what that means. It’s a time for reflection, family and holiday cheer. A season of giving and forgiving, of stuffing yourself with holiday treats and comfort food, of uncomfortable conversations with your family members over celebratory dinners.
Maybe that uncomfortable conversation comes in the form of a political squabble, or your Uncle Jim who just won’t STFU about the reptilian people (seriously, Jim, you have to stop). Or maybe that uncomfortable conversation comes from your cousin who believes XRP is the future, or that other cousin who took out a second mortgage to buy bitcoin at $19,000.

Bitcoin Targeting $250K in Less Than a Year, Says Billionaire Tycoon – BTC, ETH, XRP Forecasts [dailyhodl.com]

In a new interview with BlockTV, Draper says his long-term price target could happen as early as November of next year – just six months after Bitcoin’s next halving.
“If you run a technical analysis, it looks like it’ll be something like six months to a year after the halving that we will cross $250,000 per Bitcoin…
I can’t wait, because I’m so frustrated with with the banks just taking 2.5% to 4% every time I swipe my credit card. I’m ready for this new currency that’s frictionless and open and transparent.”
Draper, a longtime Bitcoin bull and early investor, says his worst-case scenario has BTC hitting $250K in early 2023.

Central Bank Digital Currencies Won’t Challenge Cryptocurrency [cryptobriefing.com]

The noticeable uptick in media attention toward Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) ⁠— especially after Zuckerberg’s testimony on Libra before Congress, and Christine Lagarde’s acknowledgment of the “clear demand” for stablecoins at her first press conference as head of the ECB ⁠— seems to have somewhat distorted the public’s perception of the state of play and left many in the crypto community thinking that CBDCs are just around the corner.
