Anthony Scaramucci: Bitcoin's Moves Are 'Normal,' But Some Altcoins May Have Had Their 'Last Hurrah'

SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci has described Bitcoin's BTC/USD current price action as part of its typical cycle.

What Happened: In an X post on Friday, he explained that Bitcoin is purging leveraged, short-term momentum trades, a normal phenomenon in its market evolution.

However, Scaramucci also suggested that some altcoins may have experienced their "last hurrah" and could be done for good.

Meanwhile, crypto entrepreneur JC X believes human behaviour remains consistent: when Bitcoin surges, investors feel wealthier and take on more risks, often chasing gains in altcoins due to FOMO. This dynamic suggests altcoins may still have another rally in store.

In an interview, Scaramucci expressed optimism about Bitcoin’s future, stating he would never sell his holdings for luxury purchases. He emphasized Bitcoin's potential to attract mainstream institutional investment.
