Billionaire Bitcoin Investor Gives 3 Catalysts That Could Send BTC Price Flying | Crypto News Today

➡️ REPLAY: “The Crypto Catch-Up” – http://teeka.cryptonewsalerts.net

Bitcoin will hit $65,000 due to a combination of low supply and “tons of new buyers,” major BTC investor Mike Novogratz says.

In an increasingly popular Twitter debate on Nov. 17, Novogratz, who is well known for his prominent Bitcoin plugs, told actress Maisie Williams not to hesitate in buying the cryptocurrency.

Williams had released a poll asking Twitter followers whether or not she should invest in BTC. 

At press time, the verdict was split, with 47% of the roughly 750,000 responses supporting an investment.

The poll soon caught the attention of famous Twitter users, among them Tesla CEO Elon Musk.

“I bought more BTC last night at 15,800. It’s going to 20K and (then) To 65K,” Novogratz commented.

“The network effect has taken over. I see tons of new buyers and there is very little supply. It’s an easier trade here (than) at 11K. So YES, buy it.”

As Cointelegraph reported, Bitcoin’s recent rise has been noticeable for the lack of associated media attention it has received.

Despite being at levels not enjoyed by the token longer than two weeks in its history, Bitcoin has not yet sparked the same frenzy of publicity that accompanied its rise to $20,000 all-time highs in 2017.

Behind the scenes, however, institutions that were previously unlikely supporters are coming around to the idea of a future in which Bitcoin stars as a major investment asset. Among them was Citibank this week, which forecast a December 2021 Bitcoin price of up to $318,000.

“THE PRIMARY HURDLE TOWARD $50,000 BITCOIN IS THE $20,000 ALL-TIME HIGH”

Bitcoin has rocketed higher over recent weeks. In the past five weeks alone, the leading cryptocurrency has gained 60%, boosting to $16,600 as of this article’s writing. Earlier today, the coin was trading higher than this closer to $17,000.

Analysts are confident that further gains are on the horizon.

According to Mike McGlone, a senior commodity analyst or strategist at Bloomberg Intelligence, Bitcoin passing its previous all-time high at $20,000 will cause a large move higher.

Referencing the chart below, he went as far as to say that the cryptocurrency passing $20,000 per coin could trigger a move to a $1 trillion market cap for all Bitcoin. This corresponds with approximately $50,000 per token, a price 200% higher than the current price point of $16,600.

Commenting on what the chart shows for Bitcoin, McGlone wrote:

“$20,000 Bitcoin Is Primary Hurdle Toward $1 Trillion Market Cap — The digital version of gold but with more-limited supply and a history of adding zeros, appears to be in an early price-discovery stage and may simply continue its ascent in 2021. Mainstream adoption is rising…” 

Analysts think that Bitcoin moves beyond $50,000 in this market cycle, despite how impressive a rally to $50,000 would be. The Winklevoss Twins, the co-founders of Gemini and long-time BTC holders, recently stated that the cryptocurrency could pass $500,000 per coin in this market cycle:

“Inflation is coming. Money stored in a bank will get run over. Money invested in assets like real estate or the stock market will keep pace. Money stored in gold or BTC will outrun the scourge. And money stored in Bitcoin will run the fastest, overtaking gold… 

Nonetheless, we believe that BTC will continue to cannibalize gold and that this story will play out dramatically over the next decade. The rate of technological adoption is growing exponentially. Software is eating the world and gold is on the menu.”

The Primary Hurdle Toward $50,000 Bitcoin Is the $20,000 All-Time High

PlanB, creator of the Bitcoin stock-to-flow (S2F) model, says the Bitcoin price is unlikely to dip below $8,200 even as the top-ranked cryptocurrency has dropped 13% over the last one week.

The BTC price has fallen below the $9,000 mark. Taking to Twitter on Wednesday (February 26, 2020), PlanB identified $8,200 as the likely bottom for the current downward slide.

PlanB’s tweet reads:

“$8.2k bottom still stands. It would really be unprecedented if it breaks, never happened before. Note it has nothing to do with s2f.”

Thus far, PlanB’s S2F has been the most historically accurate Bitcoin price prediction model with a forecast of $100,000 per BTC before the end of 2021.

PlanB’s latest tweet is a reiteration of predictions offered earlier in February, stating that the Bitcoin price would stay above $8,200 and that the post halving BTC price will be above $10,000.

Over the last three days, Bitcoin (BTC) has lost over $1,000 and is down close to 18% since been unable to overcome resistance at the $10,600 price level.

Despite the current slide, the Bitcoin price is still up by more than 20% since the start of the year.

‘Rationalized Bullshit’ – Vitalik Buterin Pans Bitcoin Price Forecasts

Ethereum (ETH) co-founder Vitalik Buterin does not believe that the popular stock-to-flow model is useful for predicting the BTC price.

In a Twitter debate on Feb. 27, Buterin became the second well-known figure to criticize stock-to-flow, which calls for BTC/USD to trade at an average $100,000 between 2021 and 2024.

The model has been historically accurate at predicting Bitcoin’s growth and currently calls for an average of around $8,606.

After trading at more than 20% higher, Bitcoin this week fell to within $200 of that target.

For Buterin, however, stock-to-flow is a prediction model like any other. 

Discussing press articles that attribute specific events to Bitcoin price growth, he claimed that the vast majority were “post-hoc rationalized bullshit.”

“Your daily reminder that 95%+ of articles of the form “event X will make crypto go (up | down)” are post-hoc rationalized bullshit,” he wrote.

When asked specifically whether stock-to-flow articles also came under that banner, Buterin added: “Nah, that stuff is part of the 95%.”

Bitcoin Price Won’t Fall Below $8.2K During This Crash: PlanB

Bitcoin has every possibility to grow its market size by 15-20X within the next 15 months, according to BTC bull Anthony Pompliano of New York-based hedge fund Morgan Creek Digital.

“My base case is approximately 10x to $100,000 and the bull case is around $250,000 per bitcoin,” he predicted after assessing all the said catalysts.

The founder said in a note to investors that they should put 1-10 percent of their investable capital into Bitcoin.

Recalling his own portfolio’s 50 percent exposure in the cryptocurrency, Pomp cited a string of upside catalysts that would benefit anyone who invests-in/holds the 11-year old financial asset.

The first optimistic fundamental in line was the Federal Reserve and its unprecedented monetary policies.

The US central bank in April cut its interest rate to near-zero to boost lending amid the coronavirus pandemic.

In its recent remarks, the Fed vowed to keep the rates lower for the foreseeable future.

More tailwinds Bitcoin’s bullish bias came from the US government’s $3 trillion stimulus package.

Because of it, the Fed’s balance sheet expanded by 75 percent since the beginning of 2020.

The bank further announced that it is targeting a 2 percent-plus inflation level.

“The average investor fears inflation right now, regardless of whether we [actually] see that inflation or not,” wrote Mr. Pompliano, adding that the “fear has driven significant capital flows into inflation-hedge assets (Gold, Bitcoin, Real estate, etc.).”

“The combination of the Fed’s asset price manipulation and inflation fears has driven gold and Bitcoin to drastically outperform equities and other commodities.”

Bitcoin rose by around 50 percent on a year-to-date timeframe. Pomp predicted a further upside for the cryptocurrency due to growing demand from the institutional investors.

For instance, Fidelity Investments, a Boston firm with $3.3 trillion worth of assets-under-management, favored a 1-5 percent allocation to Bitcoin in any portfolio.

Meanwhile, Stone Ridge, a $10 billion asset management firm, revealed that it now owns $15 million worth of BTC tokens.

Billionaire investor Paul Tudor Jones put 1-2 percent of his $22 billion portfolios into Bitcoin Futures.

Also, many pensions funds gained exposure in the cryptocurrency.

Pomp’s letter highlighted corporations that purchased Bitcoin as a reserve asset for part or majority of their treasury.

That included MicroStrategy, a $1.2 billion market cap firm that put 85 percent of its $500 million balance sheet ($425M) into Bitcoin, and global payments firm Square that last week purchased $50 million worth of BTC tokens.

“The demand outlook is strong, and it shows signs of actually accelerating into the first half of 2021,” added Mr. Pompliano.

The fund manager later discussed the Bitcoin market’s potential supply shock.

With a 21 million hard cap and 18.4 million units already in circulation, Mr. Pompliano noted that Bitcoin’s scarcity against its rising demand would act as another bullish tailwind.

Bitcoin pioneer Max Keiser went on a Crypto Twitter rant predicting a $28K short term Bitcoin target along with a $400K BTC price target for the long term…

“There is strong evidence to suggest Bitcoin futures traders are manipulating BTC down to give institutions a chance to load up on physical BTC cheap before the break to $28,000”

“The (temporary) Bitcoin price suppression scheme is a godsend for poor people to stack sats *now* before retail liquidity dries up and the price vaults to gold-parity levels around $400,000”
