Industry investor Mike Novogratz recently said that, while Bitcoin is trading below $10,000, the seminal cryptocurrency is merely in a consolidation phase. Per Novogratz, the next leg of the bull run will begin once institutional investors become more involved.

Earlier this month, Placeholder VC partner Chris Burniske said that Ether is a good long-term investment. Per Burniske, Ether is simply going through its first mainstream bear market, just as Bitcoin did in 2014–2015.
