Trump Not Sole Driver of Bitcoin Price
Most analysts believe Donald Trump's win isn't the only factor pushing Bitcoin to new heights.
Bitcoin has been surging since Donald Trump’s surprising win, rising by 21% in the last 7 days and hitting a new ATH.
For most people, Donald Trump’s win is the obvious explanation for Bitcoin’s new success. However, some believe other factors are pushing Bitcoin to new heights. Onramp Bitcoin co-founder Jesse Myers shared a different perspective on Bitcoin’s recent surge, and it was rather interesting.

The Bitcoin halving takes place every four years. It typically involves reducing block rewards. The last halving occurred in April this year, reducing rewards from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC.

Meyers attributes recent price performance to a supply shock. He wrote, “There’s not enough supply available at current prices to satisfy demand,” and supply-demand price equilibrium must be restored.”
Long-Term Growth in View
In his post, Meyers claimed we’ve seen this cycle before, citing post-halving experiences in 2012, 2016, and 2020. Interestingly, other prominent analysts like American financier Anthony Scaramucci believe Bitcoin is up for a good run. Scaramucci claims everyone is still early to the Bitcoin party, even though it does not seem so.

Interestingly, 94% of Bitcoins are already in circulation. This means there are only 1.2 million BTC to be mined, leaving room for supply and demand pressure.
