The oil price is going up and many people expect it will go above 100 USD per barrel,or even 120 USD per barrel.How this will impact the world economy and the cryptocurrency prices?
I have many own theory about this and I will share it later,but know I'm waiting for other opinions.
Is this good or is it bad for bitcoin?
Oil is not used for production of electricity, so why should it correlate with the crypto market?
Yes, there have been attempts to attach cryptocurrencies to the price of barrel of oil (OilCoin or Venezuella's El Petro), but they were not massively adopted around the globe.
The value of cryptocurrencies is dependent solely on demand/supply and the news around the blockchain technology, it has nothing to do with the prices for natural resources and precious metals.
