bitcoin’s substantial since yesterday has led to several new bullish predictions for the coming years, with the latest from investment tycoon , who forecasted a whopping during a speech April 12.
Speaking at a event hosted by his own Draper University in San Mateo, California, the famous bitcoin bull and venture capitalist told audience members to “believe” the sky-high figures would come true.
“I’m thinking $250,000 a bitcoin by 2022,” he said, looking into what he described as a “crystal ball”, and continuing:
“[…]Believe it, it’s going to happen – they’re going to think you’re crazy but believe it, it’s happening, it’s going to be awesome!”
While the crowd appeared to give an unenthusiastic reaction, Draper’s words may yet ring true in the mid-term among bitcoin markets. In 2014, when prices were at times less than a bitcoin, the investor that BTC/USD would pass $10,000 in 2017.
Adding to praise surfacing among bitcoin commentators on , Draper’s son Adam, also a venture capitalist, called him a “legend” for going public with the $250,000 figure:
My dad just predicted to be $250k by 2022.
