Meanwhile, the flagship cryptocurrency continues to trade sideways under the $80,000 level and, at the time of this writing, it is changing hands at $78,660 per coin. Between Wednesday last week and Monday, Bitcoin lost more than 16% of its price, crashing from $90,045 to the $75,430 zone. By now, however, BTC has pared some of its recent staggering losses.

Tim Draper explains his bullish Bitcoin stance
Renowned investor Tim Draper, known for his early prominent tech investments in Skype, SpaceX and so on, has taken to his X account to clarify his investment strategy. As he is also a well-known Bitcoin bull, Draper also spoke about BTC in his tweet.
Draper revealed his secret to successful investments. “I fund rebellions,” he stated, meaning that he invests in founders, whose startups “tear up the status quo.” “Their ideas may sound crazy to you today, but they are inevitably shaping the future,” he added, likening such funding to “a controlled explosion.”
I fund rebellions.
I back founders who tear up the status quo. Their ideas may sound crazy to you today, but they are inevitably shaping the future.
It's like funding a controlled explosion.
