Pompliano, Co-founder & Partner at Morgan Creek Digital, is a well-known Bitcoin enthusiast and a BTC investor who has been standing tall in defending the reputation of the digital asset each time pessimists show up.
Pompliano recently took to twitter to hit the minor digital currencies that are being overshadowed by the price upsurge of BTC, pointing that institutions keep plunging into the success train of Bitcoin to invest, while shitcoins are being neglected.
The institutions aren’t coming to buy your shitcoins.
They’re accumulating Bitcoin.

Conclusively, Bitcoin is not relenting as its price rises, and potential buyers are seeing reasons to reconsider their stance or unbelief to invest, while investors that have accumulated the precious digital asset are enjoying the euphoria of the moment. Will BTC stay on the course of breaking price records? Only time will tell.
