It was another strong week for Bitcoin, which is currently up nearly 20% by the end of the year amid rising inflation, dwindling regulatory fears and expectations of a Bitcoin futures-backed exchange traded fund (ETF) in the US.
The leading cryptocurrency is currently changing hands for just under $ 57,000, within reach of recent all-time highs of over $ 64,000.
Even JP Morgan is starting to sound optimistic right now, sending a message on Friday stating, “The resurgence of inflation concerns among investors has renewed interest in using Bitcoin as an inflation hedge. Institutional investors seem to be returning to Bitcoin and may see it as better inflation protection than gold. “
With economists broadly agreed that global inflation will persist, can Bitcoin cement its position as the inflation hedge of choice in the fourth quarter?
In contrast, it appears that altcoins continue to underperform compared to bitcoin.
Ethereum (ETH), the largest altcoin by market capitalization, is now at its lowest level versus BTC since early August. It is currently trading at around $ 3,600, a long way from the highs of $ 4,400. This has led some to declare that “bitcoin season” has arrived, with the past few months having been dominated by price rises in other cryptocurrencies such as Cardano (ADA) and Solana (SOL).
In the past, Bitcoin was the leader and the alternate season soon followed. Will it be the same this time?

What they said yesterday
Saylor, he’s telling us what’s going on under the hood …
#Bitcoin is superior because of technology, not tribalism. The protocol is better suited for the organic growth of a decentralized network with integrity and security in all political jurisdictions. The stability of the base layer leads to faster innovations in the application layers above.
