Welcome home, Coinheads.

It’s 2022, a new year for some, a new world for us.

In today’s edition the crew at Capital.com test drive BTC highs for 2022; we look back at what 2021 did for digital currencies and the latest from Nayib Bukele, President of The Saviour – or El Salvador – if you feel uncomfy with the translation.

 

 

Bitcoin at $100k in 2022 predicts El Salvador’s Bukele

El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele, a prolific Twitter and bitcoin evangelist, again set fire to social media on Sunday, 2 January with a tweet storm of bold predictions.

Bitcoin price prediction for 2022 and beyond: Will it test new highs?

The past year saw heightened volatility in bitcoin price, as the world’s largest cryptocurrency spiked to multiple all-time highs.

The most bullish ‘21 forecasts had bitcoin heading to $100,000, but it underperformed against expectations in the fourth quarter and dropped below $50,000 at year end although a return of 59.7% for the year is a pass.

In this article we look at the latest bitcoin projections.

 

Digital currencies and a record-breaking 2021

The super-volatile world of cryptocurrencies produced a handful of rather killer gains for investors in 2021:

  • Polygon (MATIC) – 14,167%
  • Terra (LUNA) – 13,260%
  • Dogecoin – 2,940%
  • Bitcoin – circa 60%

Possibly why, in December, the Bank of England (BOE) warned of a ‘big correction’.

Let’s look at the year in review.
