More optimistic BTC-related predictions are popping up in the crypto space, despite the massive volatility of the market.
BTC to reach $250,000 soon
Tim Draper said that the price of BTC could hit $250k in less than a year.
During a new interview with BlockTV Draper said that the long term price target could happen as early as November 2020, which will be six months after BTC halving.
“If you run a technical analysis, it looks like it’ll be something like six months to a year after the halving that we will cross $250,000 per Bitcoin…” he said.
Draper continued and explained that “I can’t wait, because I’m so frustrated with the banks just taking 2.5% to 4% every time I swipe my credit card. I’m ready for this new currency that’s frictionless and open and transparent.”
He said that his worst-case scenario has BTC hitting $250K in early 2023.
Draper explained that he’s tracking Bitcoin adoption, which is really difficult to measure on a day to day basis.

“It’s 2020 and that, at least, used to be a measure of perfect eyesight. I’m hoping people start seeing more clearly how important Bitcoin, the blockchain, smart contracts, and artificial intelligence are going to be for the world, and hopefully, they will no longer be blinded by their fears,” Draper stated.
The total number of bitcoin addresses that hold any amount of BTC has hit an all-time high at 28.39M addresses, surpassing the previous ATH of 28.38M (achieved on 1/10/18). (Data via @coinmetrics Pro)
