Among the leading TV channel CNBC there are supporters of the cryptosphere and bitcoin, in particular.
Last year, Joe Kernen said on the air of the TV channel that after the May halving of 2020 (reduction of the miners' reward), we will see a rise in the value of BTC.
Moreover, the presenter did not even rule out such a scenario in which the largest digital currency could rise in price to $ 55,000 in 2021. Now we can say with confidence. that this forecast did not come true.
As of mid-December, the BTC rate is holding slightly above $ 19,000. However, Kernen's attitude towards Bitcoin has not changed, he is still set for the long-term growth of the coin.

Another CNBC broadcaster Jim Kramer also sees Bitcoin as a very promising tool. On Twitter, he tweeted that he recently bought BTC, taking advantage of the coin's rollback.
Cryptocurrency is a very volatile asset, however, history shows that in the long term it is set to renew highs. Investors need to convert part of their portfolio to bitcoin to reduce risks, Kramer said.
Many big players take the same view. Suffice it to mention Paul Tudor Jones, who previously admitted that he invested up to 2% of his capital in BTC.
