Tom Lee Predicts $125,000 Bitcoin in 2021 Despite Tesla's U-Turn

Fundstrat’s Tom Lee remains bullish on Bitcoin despite market participants becoming extremely fearful following Tesla’s about-face.

In fact, the famed permabull told Business Insider about increasing his year-end Bitcoin target to $125,000 to $100,00.

Tesla no longer accepting Bitcoin and Elon Musk criticizing its carbon footprint will encourage the industry to focus on adopting green energy solutions, according to Lee.   

It is probably better to view it as a call to action for the bitcoin industry to focus on renewables or more efficient ways to provide proof of work.

Lee also believes that more companies will now be able to embrace “green” cryptocurrencies.

Bitcoin is trading at $46,974 at the time of writing this article.
