Alex DovbnyaMax Keiser predicts new Bitcoin ATH in March
Over the past 24 hours, the world’s leading cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, has surged substantially, jumping from $83,820 to almost $88,000, representing 4.6% growth. Since Friday, BTC has surged by 5.22%.
At press time, the digital gold is changing hands at $87,670 per coin. Bitcoin maximalist and BTC advisor to El Salvador President Nayib Bukele Max Keiser shared a bullish BTC prediction on Sunday.
He tweeted that he expects Bitcoin to surge to a new all-time high this month. However, BTC has just one week to do that, since today is March 24. The last historic peak was scored by Bitcoin on Jan. 20, when it surged above the $109,000 price level, reaching $109,114.
Roughly a week ago, Keiser went back to his ultra-bullish prediction made previously. The Bitcoin maximalist believes that regardless of how much BTC Strategy or anyone else buys, $2,200,000 per BTC is “still in play” since, as he put it, it is “unique in the world (and history) of money & finance.” It has no single point of failure thanks to the ideal Bitcoin structure invented by Satoshi Nakamoto.
Keiser also made a prediction about China, Russia and Iran potentially using a gold-backed stablecoin in the future to avoid using the U.S. dollar. The dollar lacks volatility but is also on track to lose its purchasing power. As for BTC, he said that “Bitcoin is deflationary, but volatile.”
