Bitcoin (BTC) Will Explode by Over 700%, According to CEO of $80,000,000,000 Asset Manager: ReportAccording to the news, the CEO of global investment manager VanEck that Bitcoin will possibly hit 732% or around $250,000 because institutional investors and governments will drive Bitcoin’s price appreciation. Jan Van Eck is the CEO of the $80.4 billion asset.
“Investors see it as a complement to gold. That’s the short version. Bitcoin has limited supply; the supply is visible. And it’s very hard, almost impossible, to change that. Bitcoin will go to half the market cap of gold, or $250,000 a Bitcoin, but that could take decades. It’s hard to put a timeframe on it.”
He also stated that Bitcoin is establishing itself as threat to gold. He also believe that in the long run Bitcoin will have more appreciation due to institutional and government adoption.
“Bitcoin has further price appreciation because it’s maturing. And its institutional adoption is increasing every year. It isn’t just institutional investors, but also governments around the world that are looking to it as a useful asset.”
This is probably what makes him to think that the price of Bitcoin will be greatly appreciate :
“Part of the demand for gold has been siphoned off into Bitcoin, which is emerging as a long-term competitor to gold…
Gold was the primary asset, but sometimes people bought silver or other precious metals. People looking for a store of value will look to gold, but also to Bitcoin. We’re in the middle stages of that adoption cycle, and there is further upside.”
Given his belief, I think it is plausible to think that Bitcoin will really appreciate because of the possible investment shift from gold to Bitcoin. Though it is questionable whether it will hit $250k while the previous hype of $100k is far from happening. I don't know what is his motive on releasing this kind of statement during the bear market. Is he trying to reverse the current trend with this kind of speculation? He said it will take long time but I wonder how long do you think it will take for Bitcoin to get into this kind of price range?
