TIM DRAPER: Bitcoin (BTC) Is A Superior Currency That Frees People!

➡️ Leverage OPM (Other People’s Money): http://opm.cryptonewsalerts.net

As Bitcoin inches closer to its previous $20K all-time high, Bloomberg analyst Mike McGlone shared on Bloomberg TV that he’s bullish on what’s next for the benchmark cryptocurrency in the future and even predicted a $170,000 BTC price point by 2022.

Bitcoin closed Thursday at $17,821, slightly above the previous day and also a new 2020 high. It’s also the highest it has reached in the last three years. 

With Bitcoin now less than $2,000 away from its previous high of just below $20,000, analyst Mike McGlone from Bloomberg believes the dominant crypto is not yet finished in its ascent.

McGlone said that since Bitcoin added one in front of its number compared to last year, it will likely add a zero to the back of its number next year or by 2022. 

“If you look at past performance, which is potentially indicative of the future, next year or two could add a zero to the back of the number,” he said on Bloomberg TV.

Bitcoin ended 2019 at $7,000 and is now at $17,000. This means McGlone was right that the cryptocurrency added a one at the front of its number. 

If Bitcoin adds zero at the back of its number, that’s a price of $170,000, as McGlone predicted.

McGlone pointed out that Bitcoin’s price increase is because of people’s perception that it is digital gold, Cointelegraph reported. 

Gold, a store of value, has also breached past $2,000 in a new all-time high and is now consolidating.  

With that, Bitcoin could likely be consolidating at this price point as well, with $20,000 only acting as short-term resistance. 

“I’m afraid it’s probably going to do what gold did. It got to $2,000, and then that’s been consolidating in a bull market since,” McGlone continued.

Finally, McGlone mentioned that institutional FOMO (fear of missing out) is also the likely reason why the new price run is different from the one in 2017. 

Both Microstrategy, a billion-dollar company, and payments firm Square announced that they have put Bitcoin as part of their reserves. PayPal Holdings Inc. recently allowed U.S. customers to purchase Bitcoin.

“Price Target $300K? Bitcoin Has No Top Because Fiat Money Has No Bottom – Max Keiser”

The hosts of RT’s Keiser Report, Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert, look at Citibank coming out with ‘moonmath’ on bitcoin with a hugely bullish price target of $318,000 by December 2021.

Max says that he can’t believe what Citibank is saying because it is becoming “even more aggressive” on the price than John McAfee who has always been “crazy beyond the pale price predictions.” According to Max, Citibank is now kind of “taking the price prediction crown.” 

According to Max, more banks will be competing with each other to come up with higher and higher price predictions. 

“But none of them are going to capture the ultimate bull market number because remember, bitcoin has no top because fiat money has no bottom.”

4 Reasons Why Bitcoin Price Is On The Verge Of A New All-Time High

Earlier today the price of Bitcoin (BTC) hit $18,815 on Binance for the first time in nearly three years. Following the breakout, BTC is on track to see a new all-time high in the near term for four significant reasons.

The factors that make a new record high likely are growing institutional demand, reduced selling pressure, a spot-driven market rally, and the significance of the $18,500 resistance breach.

The only way is up for the Bitcoin price action, analyst PlanB insists, offering a potential 2021 high of $450,000 per BTC, while $135,000 would be the “worst-case scenario”.

“Wait until you seen my base case and best case scenarios! OK, a hint: best case Dec $450K,” he added in comments about what Bitcoin could be capable of in 2021 which he originally shared 3 months ago on June 20th, and now 3 months later he just updated us with the following:

“In June I sketched the rough path of how bitcoin could go towards its s2f target of $100K in Dec. Just confirming we are still on that path IMO.”

Bitcoin Bull Max Keiser Believes Shareholders Will Demand Corporations to Grab BTC Following Microstrategy’s $425M Acquisition.

Keiser stated that now shareholders of other big companies and corporations are going to demand to convert their cash reserves into Bitcoin as Tahini’s pro-Bitcoin restaurant chain has already begun to do.

The Nasdaq-traded business software producer Microstrategy amazed the crypto community by placing more if its cash into Bitcoin.

Back then, its CEO Michael Saylor tweeted that the company had acquired 16,796 Bitcoin for $175,000,000.

That was the second purchase of BTC by this company.

The first acquisition took place on Aug. 11, when Microstrategy acquired 21,454 BTC for a whopping $250,000,000, making headlines in crypto and mainstream media.

Bitcoin proponent Max Keiser tweeted that now shareholders will demand that corporations start acquiring Bitcoin with their spare cash.

$MSTR declares war on the Fed, Who will join them? *Every* CFO/CEO, per statues of corporate governance, is now obligated to examine their own “melting ice cube” Shareholders will now *DEMAND* they deploy idle cash to Bitcoin. Michael Saylor is a board room revolutionary”

He was, in fact, commenting on a tweet thread posted by the Canadian restaurant chain Tahini’s, which has recently converted all of its cash reserves to Bitcoin.

On Aug. 19, the Tahini’s franchise acquired BTC using all of its spare cash reserves down to the last dollar.

The CEO Omar Hamam tweeted that, despite difficulties after the lockdown and many of his staffers deciding not to go back to work (as they received stimulus checks), he decided that the stimulus cash he received from the government would no longer be a secure investment.

So he started educating himself on blockchain and Bitcoin and then decided to convert all of his company’s cash reserves in BTC.

MicroStrategy CEO Says ‘Bitcoin Scales Just Fine As Store Of Value’

Bitcoin (BTC) as a store of value “scales just fine,” the CEO of the company that just purchased 38,250 BTC has said.

In a tweet on Sep. 17, Michael Saylor revealed more information about MicroStrategy’s dramatic launch into Bitcoin.

“We acquired 21,454 BTC via 78,388 off-chain transactions, then secured it in cold storage with 18 on-chain transactions. Bitcoin scales just fine as a store of value.”

Continuing, Saylor described a status quo where on-chain transactions for major investors will remain a rarity:

“If Bitcoin is treated as a treasury reserve asset, based on our model, 99.98% of all transactions will be off-chain, and assets-at-risk will be in cold storage 99.92% of the time.”

Off-chain transactions via solutions such as the Lightning Network allow Bitcoin transaction volume to increase without adding volume to the blockchain and raising fees to appeal to miners.

In his popular book, The Bitcoin Standard, Saifedean Ammous likewise argues that off-chain activity will become the norm once Bitcoin gains a much larger user base.

That could happen sooner rather than later.

Following the Pompliano interview, statistician Willy Woo picked up on Saylor highlighting the world’s 35,000 publicly traded companies that have spare cash reserves of $5 trillion.

“I make out if others follow MicroStrategy’s lead and even just 1% of that capital finds its way into BTC, that’s enough to blow Bitcoin cap to $2T,” he tweeted.

Woo added that given MicroStrategy took six months to approve its shift to Bitcoin, any copycat moves would begin to surface in 2021.

Why did $425M MSTR buy not move #bitcoin price up? Because they bought carefully, thousands of small incognito algo orders over a period of weeks. Key thing: $425M is transferred from weak hands (shitcoiners, traders, noobs) to strong hands (hodl): reducing future sell pressure🚀 pic.twitter.com/bBJsAFj6iy

What are the odds … that other cash-rich companies like Google, Apple, Microsoft will not get serious questions about #bitcoin at the next shareholder meeting, or even get sued for breaching their fiduciary obligation for not buying bitcoin and letting all that cash melt away? pic.twitter.com/QY1C0NbMjG
