Jim Kramer, a US television commentator, said the price of the Betquin could be as high as $ 1 million because of the Pitcueen storage companies to pay for the ransom. The CNBC host also agreed to a recent comment by CEO of Business Insider Henry Plodgit, who predicted that the Betquin could reach $ 1 million.
Kramer said in an exhibition on behalf of "street grunts" that he thought the price could reach what Plodgitte had expected. "I think it's possible that this is happening because European banks are frantically trying to buy them so they can pay off the ransom attacks," Kramer said. It is also a short-term way to be able to handle cybersecurity. In addition, it is a way to repay the bad guys. "
"It is a global thing ... although there is no real value and limited supply, but as Henry Plodgit told us that day, it could literally amount to one million dollars," said one co-host, Kramer.
Pludgeit's interpretation of his expectations
Plodgit predicted $ 1 million as the price of a protein in his talk on CNBC. Where Betquin was the subject, and Blodgett offered his advice to take advantage of the gains from the rise of the electronic currency in these weeks. Plodgit's projections were based on other factors with regard to the Pitcueen storage companies to pay for the ransom attacks.
"We see this as an excellent thing for the speculative bubble ... there is limited supply," Blodget said. "There is no real value to him. If anyone persuades you that they should somehow be associated with some GDP or gold ... then turn your back on them. "
"Yes, he may have his own use. No doubt there are uses for it. These transactions are steadily increasing, and this is a good sign ... if you will actually use it. "
He also believes that investors are buying Bitquin in the hope of getting rich long-term gains. "The price can actually reach $ 1 million," he said. That's the logic of the people who buy and speculate in it ... they say they can only lose 100% of their money, while in return they can earn 10 times or 100 times as much or as much as they can. Even a thousand times ... they will enter this trade even if they lose all they have. "
Ransom attacks demand payment in Pitcuen
The perpetrators of ransom attacks ask the victim of the victims before allowing them access to their seized files. For those victims who are not familiar with Bitquin, the attackers are asking for 800 phone numbers.
The Financial Times recently reported that ransom payers acted like "bogus companies" and offered victims' videos to guide them to pay.
"When you're exposed to these attacks and you're not sure how to pay for them, these cybercars have customer service offices to explain how to buy the Bitquin in order to pay them," Kramer said.
Adam White, who oversaw the Queen Pass platform, also opposed Kramer's guess, saying: "The rise in the price of the Betcoin is not likely to be caused by corporate buying to pay for the ransom attacks."
