Bitcoin Still High at $100,000 This Year: Bloomberg’s Top Strategist
Mike McGlone, chief commodity strategist at Bloomberg, recently stated that despite a massive correction caused by the financial troubles of China’s second largest housing maker, Evergrande Group, Bitcoin may still reach the $100,000 mark by the end of this year.
McGlone said he underestimated the number of investors (including institutions) who have moved their funds from the traditional safe haven, gold, to Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Since gold offers a potentially unlimited supply and Bitcoin can only exist in 21 million coins (more than 18 million have already been mined), Bitcoin continues to attract more and more investors who are used to betting on gold.
According to McGlone, this year, gold is down 7%, Bitcoin is up nearly 70%, and Ethereum is up nearly 400%.
