American billionaire Mark Cuban expects that the development of the Ethereum ecosystem will lead to continued growth of ETH and it will be "explosive growth".

Of course, the decisions of the second level are just as important as the transition to ETH 2.0, ”the billionaire emphasized.

⚡️🤯Trader made $2 billion from 37 ETH by investing in Shiba Inu token 9 months ago. As noted by The Daily Gwei founder Anthony Sassano, 276 days ago, someone invested 10 ETH in the Shiba Inu (SHIB) token. On August 7, 2020, 1 ETH was trading below $400. Analyst Igor Igamberdiev, however, says that this is not the limit. The owner of another wallet invested in SHIB 37.65ETH at about the same time and now holds a $ 2.05 billion position. It is difficult to say what these traders were guided by when buying a little-known token at that time. In August 2020, few could have guessed where Bitcoin would be in a few months, let alone the explosive growth of the unremarkable Dogecoin. Perhaps, in this way, they distributed part of the profits from investments in the DeFi space in the hope of pulling out the lucky ticket and did not lose. Any ideas?

Mark Zuckerberg Alludes To Owning Bitcoin After He Shares Photo Of Pet Goat The Facebook CEO may have inadvertently revealed he is a Bitcoin owner following a photograph he shared on facebook of his pet goat - puzzlingly named Bitcoin. The photo posted simply states “My goats: Max and Bitcoin”. While Zuckerberg doesn’t directly admit being a bitcoin owner (and has never discussed his views on Bitcoin publicly), his post is being interpreted by the crypto community as a sign that the billionaire CEO is a bitcoin holder; some suggesting that his post is a cryptic message to the Bitcoin community. As GOAT is a popular abbreviation for ‘Greatest Of All Time’ in the sporting world, the reference to a goat and Bitcoin has been interpreted by some as being a message from Zuckerberg about his support of the cryptocurrency. Alternatively, and much similar to Elon Musk it could be a joke from Zuckerberg at the expense of the Bitcoin community, a joke that Zuckerberg well knows could send the market into a frenzy.

They are just utility tokens, with no intrinsic value or areas of use. They will disappear over time, ”he said.
