We start with van de Poppe’s take on the current market and how it feels right now.
In general, Views around the world on external macroeconomic factors affecting cryptocurrency prices are primarily focused on the United States. Since van de Poppe is based in Amsterdam, we found out what other macroeconomic and geopolitical factors he typically takes into account when assessing markets.
Following the news about the US Securities and Exchange Commission cracking down on stablecoins and exchanges, and also the Consumer Price Index (CPI) report, which was not so good, Bitcoin (BTC) made a move contrary to what many market participants expected. Van de Poppe shares his thoughts and reasoning on the matter.
We get into the nitty-gritty of Van de Poppe’s approach to investing in altcoins and how the two large-cap cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin and Ether (ETH), affect his decisions, if at all.
The Ethereum Shanghai Update is on everyone’s minds, and everyone has their own thesis about what will happen once the update is complete. We asked van de Poppe what his bet on Ether is in the next six months and how he plans to trade the upgrade.
One major issue that seems to generate a lot of debate in the cryptocurrency space is whether the current bullish price action has a limited lifespan or is here to stay and will continue. We get the professional’s opinion on the matter and also how he thinks 2023 will play out for global markets and US stock markets.
