Vitalik Buterin: „A quick summary of features that a celebrity crypto project needs to have for me to be more willing to respect it:
1. Have some kind of public-good goal that it's serving, other than enriching the celebrity and early adopters. Realistically, either an art project or the celebrity's favorite charity, or both.
2. Have some kind of fun mechanics that go beyond just trading a token. As much as I dislike token voting DAOs, at least they give *something* for people to do and organize around. The DAO should not fully decide the agenda, but it can have some influence.
3. Make something that lasts 10+ years, rather than bubbling around for a few months and then being forgotten.
The north star should be: to have a project where even if eventually all tokens involved go to zero, the average person who participated is happy to have done so. Regular businesses and charities accomplish this goal all the time! It's a low bar, but things we build should meet this bar as well“.

Michael Novogratz, founder and CEO of crypto investment firm Galaxy Digital, believes Bitcoin’s price could hit $100,000 by year’s end
“If we take up to $73,000 in the next week or so, we’re gonna end the year at $100,000, somewhere around there, or even higher,” he said. Novogratz cited regulatory changes in the U.S government.
Specifically, he referenced the Securities and Exchange Commission’s approval of Ethereum exchange-traded funds; bipartisan support in Congress for FIT121, the legislation that would provide a clearer regulatory framework for digital assets; and congressional support for the revocation of SAB 121, accounting guidance from the SEC that many in crypto oppose.
