While the markets have taken another step back recently, Bitcoin's fundamentals, such as transaction costs and transaction numbers, have increased, as noted by the crypt evangelist Anthony Pompliano, a member of the cryptocurrency Morgan Creek Digital Assets.

In yesterday's post, Pompliano highlighted seven fundamentals of Bitcoin, highlighting the growing number of Bitcoin portfolios and the growth in the number of transactions confirmed on a daily basis.

The crypto believer has also pointed to the growing power of Bitcoin's hash rate, claiming that it is almost "quadrupled in the last year or so", while the number of Bitcoin nodes has increased by 98% in the last two years, said the expert quoting data from Bitnodes.

Concluding his analysis, Pompliano claimed that the price of a cryptocurrency is "just a measure of the value of an asset", stating that the underlying fundamentals are the main objective of the future value of the currency. He wrote:

"Do not be distracted by noise, concentrate on fundamentals, Bitcoin is not going anywhere."
