So, gather ’round, crypto aficionados! Richard Heart, the illustrious founder of the HEX platform, has taken to Twitter-yes, the fountain of all wisdom-to share his thoughts on the current crypto apocalypse. Spoiler alert: he doesn’t fancy Bitcoin as the head honcho of cryptocurrencies anymore.
In a plot twist that would make even the most seasoned soap opera writer proud, Heart has nominated Ethereum, crafted by none other than Vitalik Buterin, as the new contender for the cryptocurrency crown.
“Ethereum is better than Bitcoin”
Heart, in a moment of sheer mathematical poetry, decided to grace us with an S-curve-a fancy term for a graph that looks like a squished snake. It illustrates how shiny new technologies worm their way into society’s collective consciousness over time, like that one friend who won’t stop talking about their latest diet fad.
Crypto Market Review: Shiba Inu (SHIB) Is Not Going to $0, Bitcoin Loses $70,000 First Time in History, Will Ethereum (ETH) Save $2,000?
I’ve been telling you Bitcoin was at the top of its S curve for several years now. Which means that, if you want to make mad gains, you might want to buy something better, with more potential. PulseChain is better. Ethereum is better. PLSX, HEX, and ProveX, when it comes out…

In a sweeping statement that has likely sent shockwaves through the Bitcoin community, Heart claims (not for the first time, mind you) that Bitcoin has reached the pinnacle of its S-curve-like a climber reaching the summit only to realize they forgot their snacks. In his view, Bitcoin has matured-meaning all the cool kids are already in, and new users are about as hard to find as a needle in a haystack. Growth? Slowing down faster than a tortoise in a marathon!
According to Heart, if you’re looking to pad your pockets with some juicy gains, Bitcoin might not be your best bet. Instead, consider Ethereum, which he argues possesses more technical pizzazz. He boldly stated that the true essence of a cryptocurrency doesn’t hinge on its quality or utility-it’s all about how well it markets itself and whether folks are hitting the green or red buttons like it’s a game show.
Bitcoin recovers to $66,000
In a dramatic turn of events, Bitcoin has managed to claw its way back up by 5.26%, landing at a cozy $66,000. This revival came after a spectacular dive of 30.55% over the past week-possibly the wildest rollercoaster ride since that time you tried to fix your own plumbing.
Just a week ago, on January 28, Bitcoin plummeted below the $90,000 mark and went on a dizzying descent, finally settling at $63,000. This nose-dive coincided with gold and silver taking a tumble of their own, which is enough to make any investor clutch their pearls.
Analysts suggest two key culprits behind Bitcoin’s dramatic fall: disappointing reports from the so-called Magnificent 7 (sparking fears that the AI bubble might actually pop) and Donald Trump’s audacious nomination of Kevin Warsh-a guy known for his hawkish monetary stance-as the next Fed chairman. Because nothing says ‘stable currency’ like political drama!
