Stage Set For $25,000 Bitcoin Price

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


by Olusegun Ogundeji, Coin Telegraph:

As three main Bitcoin exchanges in China lock the withdrawal of the currency on their platforms, a strategist with the macroeconomic research firm Lamoureux & Co. is sure that Bitcoin will reach a target of $25,000 or more.

Though the news of the Chinese exchange’s actions have caused the Bitcoin price to drop by almost 10 percent, it is gradually gaining strength again.

Yves Lamoureux states in a piece that most key ingredients found in past bubbles are now present for cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin to appeal to hard asset investors — or a rare chance to get in on a venture capital style bet.

Reserve currency

This projection by the chief behavioral strategist is somewhat in line with that shared by the CEO of Netcoins, Michael Vogel, who says there have been predictions about Bitcoin becoming a government world reserve currency by 2020. If and when that happens, it is expected to skyrocket the Bitcoin price, though it isn’t clear how high it would go by then.

Similarly, multi-bln dollar investor Tim Draper, who believes that many investors now prefer to fund Bitcoin startups as a safer long-term option, is of the view that these new startups will increase in value in relation to the digital currency. As a result, Draper stuck to the prediction he had made about three years ago about the increasing Bitcoin value that it would have reached $10,000 by now. He still expects it in a year, though.

Lamoureux noted in a previous article that a central bank-fueled hyperinflation is set to take place in several years with cryptocurrencies as one of the newest benefactors of the hyperinflationary wave.

In this latest piece, however, he likened the projected rise of Bitcoin price to the pattern gold followed when it traded at $300 and employed primarily to avoid the dilution of fiat money to make investors care about keeping their purchasing power.

He notes that nothing has changed in how people trade since 100 years ago as long as they get the same set of incentives. He also touched on the need to convince the majority.

      The reality is Bitcoin just has not got what it takes for a reserve currency because it is not a centralised currency where transactions are instantaneous and anonymous. There are better, faster and more secure Cryto Currencies out there, if nothing else we are waiting for use to skyrocket and it a hack to crash and burn the first Cryto currency to allow the more advanced currencies to take over. Until then Bitcoin though the pioneer actually holds the entire sector back, much like a diners card with a security strip in the age of chip and pin, old systems can persist for decades until the crime rate forces the sector to adopt a new more secure transaction. In this case a one we made earlier Cryto will probably just be renamed Bitcoin.

      If you’re not stupid, you’d recognize that sort of suggestion is to try and suggest a narrative (which may or may not be true), typically, people don’t tell you about something if they are well-intentioned…just saying.

      Oh! Oh! Oh! Can I put my money into a currency that has even less backing than the paper dollar? Can I? Pleeeeeeeeze take my money!
