Will Bitcoin Price Go to the Moon as Crypto Billionaire Says?
- According to crypto investor Michael Novogratz, the cryptocurrency could start to take off when the Fed draws down its bond holdings.
- Speaking to attendees at the “Bitcoin 2022” conference in Miami, the expert pointed out that if the dollar weakens and BTC soars, it will be a sign of the fall of the West.
Investor and founding CEO of Galaxy Digital Holdings, Michael Novogratz, foresees that the reduction of bond holdings that the United States Federal Reserve plans to initiate beginning in May could boost Bitcoin prices in the markets.
However, the billionaire crypto investor reckons the US central bank will remain “very hawkish for a while” under the helm of Jerome Powell to try to bring down inflation, with interest rates likely to be raised by 50 points.
Novogratz made his forecast during the “Bitcoin 2022” conference that kicked off Wednesday in Miami, sponsored by Mayor Francis Suárez, a crypto enthusiast who has vowed to turn the city into a major global hub for digital finance.
During his participation in the event that has attracted more than 25,000 people, Novogratz predicted that Bitcoin is heading towards $500,000 and could even reach a price of $1 million per token. “Bitcoin will go to the moon,” he said, and this will start when the Fed takes a pause.
In the coming weeks, the Fed will start drawing down its massive $9 trillion treasury stockpile. The objective is to try to combat the growth in prices, even if that means making loans more expensive for businesses and consumers.
On The Flipside
- After a mild rally to $45,000, the price of the world’s largest cryptocurrency has fallen below $44,000 in the last 24 hours, according to data from Coindesk.com.
- The cryptocurrency has struggled to break out of the value range between $44,000 and $48,000 for several weeks.
Pray the Dollar Stays Strong
“I lie down and pray that the managers of the American economy don’t screw it up,” Novogratz said. He said he prays the dollar stays strong and BTC doesn’t go to infinity, because when that happens “it means the rest of the Western world has collapsed.”
He also said that many of his Russian friends have recently cracked down on Western sanctions on Russia after the invasion of Ukraine. Likewise, he added that “with stability in the West” the cryptocurrency can reach its target price.
Those who bet on the takeoff of Bitcoin and its usefulness in times of crisis continue to trust its performance this year.
