In the recent episode of Market Talks, Cointelegraph had a conversation with Michaël van de Poppe, a full-time cryptocurrency trader at the Amsterdam Stock Exchange, interested in blockchain technology and the financial system. He is also the CEO of Eight Global, a platform for cryptocurrency education and consultancy.
The discussion started with van de Poppe’s insights on the current market conditions and his overall sentiment. While many focus on U.S.-centric factors affecting crypto prices, van de Poppe shared the macro and geopolitical factors he considers from his base in Amsterdam.
With recent events like the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s actions on stablecoins and exchanges and the Consumer Price Index (CPI) report, Bitcoin (BTC) made unexpected movements. Van de Poppe explained his views on these market shifts.
The conversation delved into van de Poppe’s investment approach with altcoins and how Bitcoin and Ether (ETH) influence his decisions. The upcoming Ethereum Shanghai upgrade was discussed, along with van de Poppe’s strategy for trading Ether in the next six months.
The conversation also touched on the longevity of the current bullish market trend and its potential continuation. Van de Poppe shared insights on 2023’s outlook for global and U.S. stock markets.
