On the flip side, the US venture capitalist still maintains his bullish outlook for pioneer crypto-asset Bitcoin. In a CNBC show, Draper discussed his bullish views on Bitcoin and why he believes Bitcoin may reach $250,000 in the next few years.
Draper opined that this wild run will take BTC by 2,600% from its recent price of $9,600 while the market cap will increase to $4.5 trillion.
Tim Draper, who is said to have previously invested in Bitcoin, even when it has not yet gained fame, predicts that Bitcoin will reach $250,000 in 2022/2023. He further mentioned that, given the observed global incidents, an outbreak of the coronavirus is an example, and that it remains to be seen that Bitcoin will become a safe-haven and will subsequently become the “preferred currency”.
A model developed by a quantitative analyst who remained incognito as Plan-B, which is a stock-to-flow based BTC price model, predicts that the asset can trade between $55,000 and $100,000 after halving this year, though, as the model predicts, it is expected to exceed this range by almost 200% or even more, adding that it is highly likely that BTC will reach $300,000 by 2024.
