Finding opportunities in the maelstrom
Undeterred by the current market jitters, Brandt joins a growing chorus of prominent figures advocating for bitcoin. Robert Kiyosaki, author of the best-selling personal finance book “Rich Dad, Poor Dad,” recently revealed his intention to buy more bitcoin, viewing the price drop as a golden opportunity.

Beyond the immediate price swings, Brandt's analysis delves deeper into bitcoin's future trajectory. He identifies a “Inverted head and shoulders” pattern on the bitcoin price chart, a bullish indicator often associated with major market rallies.

This optimistic outlook is further reinforced by some price predictions which forecast that bitcoin will hit $79,800 on August 6, 2024, a significant increase from its current price.

The cryptocurrency market remains notoriously volatile and price predictions, especially in the short term, are notoriously unreliable. Furthermore, both Brandt and Kiyosaki are known for their bullish stances on bitcoin, potentially introducing biases into their outlooks.
