Bitcoin and crypto are poised to speed up globalization and the decentralization of industries, making them immune to questionable government economic policies, according to tech venture capitalist and BTC bull Tim Draper.

Back in 2018, the tech billionaire made a bold public call that the Bitcoin price would reach $250,000 by the end of 2022 or early 2023.

This year he doubled down on his bullish BTC prediction jokingly stating, “If Bitcoin does not hit $250,000 by early 2023, I’ll eat a raw egg.”

“That’s my prediction. Sticking with it. I’m very confident that that is going to happen. That’s happening. It’s kind of funny.”

During the most recent LA Blockchain Summit, Draper speaks about how the massive global transformation ushered in by the Internet is making borders meaningless.

Now, Draper says Bitcoin is about to change everything from real estate to banking.

“When bitcoin came along, all of a sudden, we had a currency that we could use globally and one that we could have faith in even if a government for instance printed 13 trillion dollars, we could still have a currency that would not dilute. 

And that was the beginning of something that I think is going to be a major change in the world. And I think the world is going to go through an anthropological leap because we realize we used to be tribal, and that was sort of a way of being secure. We’d say, ‘Okay, this is the border, don’t cross this border and our people will be safe.’

Well now we realize that the borders are becoming more and more meaningless and the decentralized world becomes more important and it will be everything from banking to insurance to real estate to governance that are gonna change and become decentralized around the world and that’s gonna make us global, completely global.”

“Those barriers are bad for us. But they’re also really just kind of the roar of the dying lion as we move to this new world. And it’s very exciting. And then if you break down crypto, it starts with Bitcoin and it starts with a currency, and a blockchain, and a smart contract.

And then it moves to DeFi (decentralized finance), where all the things that are happening with dollars today now can start to happen with crypto. From there, I think you move to the e-commerce world where open node and others like it can bring it so that the merchants can tap Bitcoin.

I think that those are the three stages and once those stages are done and it’s easy to use and the world opens up, we are going to have a truly crypto, decentralized, open-world.”

Craziest Chart in Crypto Shows Billions of Dollars Set to Pour Into Bitcoin, Says Top Analyst

The highly-cited pseudonymous analyst, known in the industry as Filbfilb, says the $10.9 billion rise of Tether (USDT) in 2020 suggests traders are storing their capital in the dollar-pegged stablecoin as they prepare to buy BTC.

The analyst notes USDT expansion – which has been on the rise since the coronavirus-related market crash in March – has historically preceded Bitcoin price increases.

And Tether has expanded massively in the past month alone, he says.

“Since 30th August, USDT expansion has been $5 billion – that’s [a] 50% increase… FIFTY – that 50% is greater than the ENTIRE USDT cap that took BTC to $14k last time… AND price retracted since by c. 10%. I don’t subscribe to Tether conspiracies, but I do subscribe to supply and demand.

This has to be the craziest chart in crypto right now. The positive correlation of Tether expansion / BTC appreciation in 2019 was quite something. In 2020 Tether has expanded from $4.1 billion to $15 billion – FIFTEEN.

A new, comprehensive analysis has predicted the price of bitcoin to reach almost $20K this year and will keep rising to almost $400K by 2030.

The researchers have also predicted the future prices of several other major cryptocurrencies, including bitcoin cash, ethereum, and litecoin.

“The equation of exchange model is an absolute approach to valuing crypto assets,” the report begins.

“This means that the model gives a target price that crypto assets should be priced at based on assumptions regarding changes in supply and demand.”

Noting that “The absolute valuation approach is inspired by Mill’s equation of exchange, later formulated by Irving Fisher,” the CRR team detailed:

In this model, the percentage of the total addressable market (TAM) can be used to estimate a crypto asset’s implied future price.

After examining “all the variables and addressable markets,” the CRR researchers arrived at future price estimates for BTC, ETH, LTC, BCH, and XLM.

They expect the price of bitcoin to rise to $19,044 in 2020, $341,000 in 2025, and $397,727 in 2030.

Ethereum’s price is expected to reach $331, $3,549, and $3,644 respectively while bitcoin cash’s price should climb to $414, $6,690, and $13,016 during the same time periods.

The target addressable market for all cryptocurrencies today is approximately $212 trillion, the report notes.

It includes unit of account and medium of exchange, consumer loans, offshore accounts, reserve currency, store of value, online transactions, remittance, micropayments, unbanked, gaming, crypto trading, ICO funding, and STO funding.

The largest use case for cryptocurrencies is as a medium of exchange, the CRR research team found, elaborating:

We believe that bitcoin is still at the very start of its adoption curve. The price of $7,200 at the end of 2019 suggests that bitcoin has penetrated less than 0.44% of its total addressable markets.

If this penetration manages to reach 10%, its non-discounted utility price should reach nearly $400,000.

The CRR analysis estimates that there are more than 40 million cryptocurrency users globally, and the number of crypto users in a country is positively correlated to the country’s GDP per capita.

High GDP means more cryptocurrency adoption in the country.

Furthermore, “On-chain velocity for most coins is decreasing, while off-chain velocity is increasing, currently at an all-time high,” the report highlights, discussing in-depth how speculation and savings outpace all other uses of cryptocurrencies.

They provided “evidence that growth in speculative transactions on exchanges is faster than the growth in using cryptocurrencies to buy goods and services.”

Bitcoin Is A Better Gold Than Gold Itself, Says Tyler Winklevoss

According to Tyler Winklevoss, co-founder of the Gemini crypto exchange, Bitcoin beats gold at its own game. 

“Bitcoin is better at being gold than gold — and not just incrementally, but by an order of magnitude or 10X better,” Winklevoss said in a Sept. 21 tweet.  

Over the last decade or so, Bitcoin has risen dramatically in price, surpassing numerous landmark price comparisons along the way.

For many, it is now seen more as a store of value than a transactional currency, and the public often compares the digital coin against gold; a time-tested method of value storage used for thousands of years.

💰 Crypto’s Next $1 Trillion Coin: http://teeka.cryptonewsalerts.net

Bitcoin still gets criticized for being too volatile, but one Bloomberg analyst believes that BTC is conversely becoming a “risk-off” choice for investors.

In a tweet on March 25, Mike McGlone, senior commodity strategist at Bloomberg Intelligence, said that this year marked a watershed moment for the largest cryptocurrency and that a $400,000 Bitcoin price would ‘rhyme’ with history.

McGlone uploaded a chart of the BTC/USD average price and the Bitcoin Liquid Index, a price ticker specially created for institutional use.

“Well on its way to becoming a global digital reserve asset, a maturation leap in 2021 may be transitioning Bitcoin toward a risk-off asset, in our view,” he wrote.

A potential price peak this year, with previous behavior as context, could be as much as $400,000 per bitcoin, the chart shows. This dwarfs other estimates, such as that of stock-to-flow, which calls for an average of $288,000 between now and 2024.

While McGlone did not provide exact details of the factors behind Bloomberg’s view, the idea of Bitcoin reducing, rather than increasing portfolio risk is the talking point of the year among corporates. New reports of treasury allocations to BTC appear frequently, with appetite unfazed by price action.

“My mission right now is to fix the balance sheets of the world,” Michael Saylor, CEO of MicroStrategy, one of the largest Bitcoin treasury investors, said in an interview with TIME this week.

Here’s How Bitcoin Dolphins, Sharks and Whales Are Playing the Crypto Markets, According to Top Analyst Willy Woo

On-chain analyst Willy Woo is providing his take on how large Bitcoin (BTC) holders are attacking the market.

As Bitcoin takes a dive to the low $50,000 range this week, new crypto whales are entering the market, according to Woo.

“Some bearish scares over whales selling down, here’s more complete picture. Chart: BTC held by dolphin/shark/whales (100-10,000 BTC).

Whales becoming dolphin/sharks, new buyers coming in, cohort is still accumulating, they usually sell in the middle of the bull run. Still bullish.”

Woo points out that although it may appear as though whales have been parting with their BTC at an alarming rate causing the recent sell-off, the Bitcoin being sold on the market are newer supplies likely held by entities that are taking profits after the largest crypto asset’s huge run up.

“This is a new species of whale; hedge funds. Likely selling down for end of quarter rebalancing after such a good run from $10,00 BTC last year. Doesn’t look like the typical OGs selling (which they do on every bull season rally). The coins being sold lately are relatively young.

Bitcoin addresses are forensically clustered into wallets held by individual participants before extracting this view. Beware that looking at just raw address balances, which I’ve seen posted elsewhere can be misleading.”
