Bitcoin price forecasts
Overnight, Bitcoin managed to jump from its high of $6,400 to $6,800 – this looks like the new bull run predicted and anticipated by many prominent crypto investors and traders.
On May 10, U.Today reported that Mark Yusko, the founder of Morgan Creek Capital hedge fund, made a bold prediction that eventually Bitcoin will reach $400,000 as it will become a replacement for gold. This will happen, he says, in ten years or even later.
Also, the famous investor and venture capitalist Tim Draper told Fox Business in an interview that in about four years or so Bitcoin will take up 5 percent of the total market share of the Earth.
The price that Bitcoin is going to hit per Draper is slightly more modest - $250,000.
