This is undoubtedly a very good impact on it, because people are used to trust influential personalities.
This is a cognitive bias, and it's called "Authority bias", which is the tendency that people have to follow what someone with 'status' in a specific matter says. Now, like some others have said, Novogratz doesn't have the best record at making right predictions when referring to the bitcoin price, so I'm pretty sure that bitcoiners don't care about what this guy says, however, it'll be interesting to see if the average joe will be influeced by what he said and will start keeping an eye out on the bitcoin price, it'll be positive if these sort of statements from highly influential people can spark a bit of curiosity among the general public.
