Pro-XRP lawyer John Deaton warns against using home equity to buy Bitcoin

Pro-XRP lawyer John Deaton warns against using home equity to buy Bitcoin originally appeared on TheStreet. Pro-XRP lawyer John Deaton has sounded the alarm over the latest investment trends emerging in the Bitcoin community. There are multiple ways to trade Bitcoin in the U.S. One can directly trade in BTC over centralized or decentralized crypto exchanges, invest in stocks of Bitcoin-focused companies such as Strategy (Nasdaq: MSTR), or invest in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) tied to Bitcoin. There are even more innovative ways of Bitcoin investing that are gaining the attention of the trading community. One such way is using home equity to invest in Bitcoin. Recently, a technology company Horizon launched a program that lets a homeowner access a portion of their home's equity — without monthly payments — and invest some of that equity in Bitcoin. Deaton cautioned against such trends in Bitcoin investing even as he reminded everyone that he is himself a Bitcoin bull. He reminded his followers on X that he disclosed holding 80% of his net worth in Bitcoin to the Federal Election Committee (August 2024 Senatorial financial disclosures). He added that he even took on Democrat Elizabeth Warren in Massachusetts during the 2024 election, who he says sought a ban against self-custody of Bitcoin in the country. Nonetheless, Deaton said Bitcoin investing trends such as mortgaging homes or acquiring preferred stocks offered by Strategy for the purpose could lead to "bad outcomes" for such investors due to risks involved. Bitcoin has had a terrific year so far and has grown nearly 50% over the last 12 months. As per Kraken, it was trading at $105,370.29 at press time.

XRP Price Outperforms Bitcoin, Ethereum As ‘Strange Signal' Emerges, Why The Target Is $4

Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure The XRP price, while still being well below its all-time high price, is doing incredibly well after the market rebound. The altcoin has been able to outperform the likes of Bitcoin and by a large margin, showing its strength in the market recently. This comes as crypto analysts in the community have been predicting and calling for higher prices, expecting XRP to keep outperforming the heavy-hitters. XRP Leaves Bitcoin And Ethereum In The Dust Pro-XRP lawyer Bill Morgan took to social media to share an important update about the recent XRP price performance. The screenshot shared in the X post showed that when compared to Bitcoin and Ethereum, XRP has performed exceptionally well. The XRPUSDT pair showed XRP was up 9.96% in the last week at the time of the post. In contrast, the XRP/BTC pair showed a1.18% increase in seven days and 1.50% increase in 24 hours. Then when compared to Ethereum, the numbers were even worse. The XRP/ETH pair showed a 20.73% crash in seven days, while the 24-hour performance showed a 5.18% decrease. 'Strange Signal' Says A Blowout Is Coming Crypto analyst MasterAnanda has pointed out a 'strange signal' that has been forming on the XRP price chart. This signals comes with the rapid changes in candle formation on the price chart through the bear and bull cycles. This candle formation refers to the volatility and price swings experienced by the altcoin each time. The first one the crypto analyst points out is the fact that back in December 2024, XRP was forming big candles with the peaks at the beginning of the month. This continues even when the price turns and began going downwards.

They continue on into April as XRP continues to struggle through high volatility and rapid price swings.

From mid-April toward the end of the month, the crypto analyst explains that there are smaller candles while the price grows. As the volatility fell, the analyst notes that XRP moved low but never made a new low, calling this a bullish signal. Related Reading: Still Holding TRUMP Coin? This Analyst Says Recovery To $79 Is Coming 'When the market was bearish, prices were moving down with force,' MasterAnanda wrote. 'Now the market is bullish confirmed because when resistance is hit, there is no bearish force, no bearish action no bearish momentum; just consolidation before additional growth.' If this bullish signal plays out, then, going by the analyst's chart, the XRP price could be looking at a rally toward $3.6. This would be an over 50% jump in price from the current level and perhaps push it toward new all-time highs.
