Raoul Pal Shares His 'Paper Hand' Drama From 2017

Raoul Pal, global macro investor and CEO of Real Vision platform, purchased $200,000 worth of Bitcoin (BTC) in 2013. Here's what happened with this massive stake — and when Pal predicted $100,000 for BTC for the first time.

Real Vision CEO shares his dramatic story about selling BTC

Investor and economist Raoul Pal purchased Bitcoin (BTC), the largest cryptocurrency, back in 2013. He spent $200,000 on the orange coin 11 years ago. In 2013, the largest cryptocurrency soared from $13 to $754, historical data says.

As Pal shared with his 1 million followers on X, he sold this BTC allocation in 2017 when Bitcoin (BTC) reached $2,000. He was "pleased" with the outcome of the deal despite BTC surging 10x further in 2017.

Bitcoin (BTC) reached a cycle peak in mid-December 2017 at about $19,450. This 2013-2017 run was the first mainstream rally of cryptocurrency markets.

Also, Pal admitted that he published his first-ever macro review of the Bitcoin (BTC) price when it was at $200. He leveraged the Stock-to-Flow model and compared Bitcoin (BTC) to Gold. The forecast spelled $100,000 as the minimum target price for the crypto king.

In turn, his own Bitcoin (BTC) stake would have been surging to $100,000,000 in 2024, the macro analyst says.

As covered by U.Today previously, Pal is sure that altcoins will outperform Bitcoin (BTC) in the starting bull run. In particular, he is bullish on Solana (SOL) and Sui (SUI).
