Crypto News 11/02: Bitcoin will grow exponentially as adoption rate increases with news from Ethereum, CBDC,…
From saying that Bitcoin will still grow strongly if it is widely accepted by users, to the bill for a digital euro being proposed in 2023. Here are some highlights from the crypto market.
Bitcoin News
Director of Macroeconomics at Fidelity Investments, Jurrien Timmer said The price of Bitcoin (BTC) will increase exponentially as the adoption rate increases.
In a recent interview, Timmer said that Bitcoin is following the same growth path as the world’s largest company, Apple.
“I compared the overall network effect of Bitcoin to the network effect of Apple computers. So when Apple grows sales, its stock price increases exponentially. Bitcoin follows a similar path. So I think bitcoin will definitely explode as demand grows.”
He said that Bitcoin is in a class of its own, unlike other crypto assets.
“Perhaps other digital assets will do better than Bitcoin because they are more scalable but less decentralized. And that’s why I say that bitcoin is a store of value for me, similar to gold. And the rest of the digital asset space is almost like a venture asset class.”
Timmer also said that Bitcoin is currently at the same level as gold was in the 1970s, when the precious metal’s price fluctuated wildly.
“I think of bitcoin like gold did in the 1970s. Gold went from money to an asset. And it went through price discovery. Before that, gold was very volatile, it went up a lot, but it also went down a lot. Bitcoin is doing the same thing. “
