So, what would he do when bitcoin\u2019s price is tumbling \u2013 that\u2019s right, go on a bashing spree?<\/p>\n<p>In his latest barrage against the largest cryptocurrency, he advised people to move away from its \u2018bear market rally\u2019 and join the \u2018bull market rally\u2019 in gold as both headed in different directions on Friday. BTC finally bounced off after several days of consecutive declines and went from the aforementioned multi-month low to $84,000-$86,000.

A historically bullish month, especially after a halving year, has brought tons of gains for the asset.
