Draper Sees Bitcoin Price Infinity Horizon Amid Growing Adoption
Venture capitalist Tim Draper believes that Bitcoin is headed for 'infinity' against the dollar. He predicts this fundamental shift will occur as growing BTC payments trigger a ban on traditional banking.
Draper, an early Bitcoin backer, outlined a step-by-step progression for adoption: businesses start accepting it, then exclusively accept it, triggering bank runs and ultimately causing BTC to go to infinity against the dollar. He likens the evolution of the financial system to the shift from horses to automobiles.
The billionaire investor considers his Bitcoin holdings 'more secure' than dollars he keeps in the bank, arguing that quantum computing poses a greater risk to banks than to the blockchain. Draper's credentials became widely recognized in 2014 when he purchased nearly 30,000 BTC for $19 million at a U.S. Marshals auction.
