Renowned venture capitalist Tim Draper forecasts that factors such as the upcoming Bitcoin halving and ETF entries could triple Bitcoin's value by 2024. Speaking at the Paris Blockchain Week, Draper reiterated his belief in Bitcoin's value increase by 2024, referring to his previous predictions for 2022 and stating, "If I were to predict, we might see $250,000 by the end of the year; that looks quite optimistic."
The approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the United States has played a significant role in revitalizing interest and capital inflow into the Bitcoin ecosystem. Draper mentioned that these investment tools offer an alternative route for investors wary of the risks of personally storing Bitcoin, and provide protection against depreciating fiat currencies. Draper explained, "This allows people to purchase and hold a portion of Bitcoin, thereby protecting themselves against fluctuations in currencies like the dollar or euro." He also emphasized the importance of access to a Bitcoin ETF, allowing investors to continue working with institutions like Fidelity or JPMorgan and manage their investments within this new asset class.
Tim Draper pointed out that Bitcoin’s limited supply and its increasing use as a payment option are likely to boost its general appeal. He also referenced problems like inflation and purchasing power loss affecting fiat currencies.
Addressing the issue of political and economic instability reducing the value of money, Draper stated, "I don't need to stick to any fiat currency that loses value over time, often due to political decisions or government spending, which inflates your money."
The venture capitalist also highlighted Bitcoin’s role as a "reliable haven" against inflation. "I think I'm starting to see boundaries being crossed. People feel more secure with their Bitcoins than with their dollars," he said.
Draper noted that the fourth Bitcoin halving, happening on April 20th, will significantly impact the market. He advised investors, "They say if you're a stock market investor, don't bet against the Fed. If you're a Bitcoin buyer, don't bet against the halving. It reduces supply, increases demand, and drives up prices."
Draper also reiterated that exposure to Bitcoin, even in single-digit percentages, has become an attractive alternative for investors concerned about global economic uncertainties, bank failures, and depreciating currencies.
