Tim Draper’s Bitcoin Price Prediction

Venture capitalist Tim Draper doubled down on his $250,000 Bitcoin price prediction. In a recent interview with Scott Melker, aka Wolf of All Streets, Draper was asked if he still believes the bitcoin price will reach $250,000 this year. He replied.

Yeah, by the end of this year or early next year.

Draper further explained why he believes the price ofwill exceed his prediction; he further explained why he believes the price of BTCwill exceed his prediction.” One thing that will probably happen – and I don’t know exactly when – is that women will start using Bitcoin,” he explained.

The venture capitalist noted that previously, only 1 in 14 bitcoin holders were women.” He stated, “Now it’s more like one in six, and I think it will eventually even out.

A March survey by crypto-financial services firm Blockfi found that nearly one in three American women said they planned to buy cryptocurrency in 2022. Additionally, one-third of them, 60%, indicated that they intend to do so in the next three months.

Draper explains. “Women control about 80% of retail spending, and retailers don’t realize they can still save 2%, and since they usually operate on very thin margins, that may be something like double their profit. Just accepting bitcoin instead of a bank-issued credit card can save 2%. And that can change everything.

Draper opined.

Suddenly. Every woman will have a bitcoin wallet and buy things with bitcoins, and we will see bitcoin prices that will just pass my $250,000 estimate.

On May 19, Draper told CNBC that despite the current economic situation, “I’m still bullish on bitcoin, because it’s a great hedge against inflation.” He elaborated.” If speculators leave, it will eventually diverge from tech stocks.”
