Venture Capitalist Tim Draper Explains Why Bitcoin Will Soar Past His $250K Estimate. Could Bitcoin Actually be Worth Half a Million In Coming Years?

Tim Draper, a venture capitalist, has reiterated his $250K bitcoin price prediction. Draper was asked if he still believes the price of bitcoin will hit $250K this year in a recent interview with Scott Melker, dubbed the Wolf of Wall Street. He responded, "

Yes, by the end of this year or the beginning of next.

Draper went on to explain why he thinks BTC would outperform his projection. "One thing that will almost certainly happen — and I don't know when — is that women will begin to use bitcoin," he said.

Previously, only one out of every 14 bitcoin holders was a woman, according to the venture capitalist. "It's around one in six right now, and I think it'll even out soon," he said. According to a March survey by crypto financial services provider Blockfi, roughly one-third of American women expect to buy cryptocurrencies in 2022. Furthermore, 60% of those surveyed said they want to do so within the next three months.

"Women control around 80% of retail spending, and merchants haven't yet discovered that they can save 2%, and they normally run on razor-thin margins, so that might be like doubling their earnings," Draper explained. They can save 2% simply by accepting bitcoin instead of a credit card issued by a bank. And that has the potential to affect everything."
