It has been revealed that the Bitcoin 2024 forecast is optimistic for 2024, and we’ll also see a mass consolidation of crypto tech soon as well. Check out more reports below.
Bitcoin new predictions for the next year
Billionaire Tim Draper predicts that Bitcoin (BTC) will become the main platform for developers within the crypto industry to launch new technologies.
In an interview with Coin Bureau, Draper compares BTC to Microsoft, stating that just as Microsoft created programs like Word and Excel, BTC will consolidate crypto use cases.
He further envisions BTC developers creating versions of the more popular technologies released over other crypto protocols in the future.
“What happened [with Microsoft] was [it] was a platform, and they let people do all sorts of things, and then they chose the things that really mattered. So I’m seeing sort of the same thing happen with Bitcoin as a platform.
Sure, a lot of the experimentation went on Ethereum and Solana and Tezos and whatever else, but now people are going, ‘Okay, so NFTs (non-fungible tokens) are a big deal, so we’re going to create ordinals on Bitcoin. Oh okay, so DeFi (decentralized finance) is a big deal, [so] we’re going to have DeFi on Bitcoin. Okay, smart contracts are a big deal [so] we’re going to move smart contracts to Bitcoin.’
I think that’s happening, and I think there is a little bit that’s starting to happen a consolidation around Bitcoin as a platform.”
Venture capitalist Tim Draper predicts that the leading cryptocurrency by market capitalization, Bitcoin (BTC), will reach a price level of $250,000 at some point in 2024.
He also believes that once BTC reaches this price level, it will continue to rise, although he did not specify where it will ultimately settle.
As of writing this article, Bitcoin is currently trading at $43,850, which is a slight increase over the last 24 hours. If Draper’s prediction comes true, it would mean a price increase of approximately 470%.
