Billionaire Tim Draper continues to expect bitcoin to surge to $250,000

 


Billionaire venture capitalist Tim Draper still believes his lofty prediction of a $250,000 Bitcoin price later this year, driven by women. Yes, you read it right.


Women will push BTC to $250,000: Draper

Tim Draper told veteran crypto trader Scott Melker that he is sticking by his bullish $250,000 bitcoin price target for this year. Despite the recent downturn, the early bitcoin investor is undeterred in his enthusiastic outlook for the number one cryptocurrency.


He stated that more women will start using the cryptocurrency and this will significantly broaden the asset's user base. “All of a sudden, all women will have bitcoin wallets, and they will buy things with bitcoin, ” Draper said.


Considering that over 50% of wealth in the United States is managed by women, it's not too optimistic when the tech investor says the female faction could help push BTC price to unprecedented heights to drive.


Draper also pointed out that retailers currently operating on low profit margins haven't yet realized that they can save big by accepting BTC instead of credit cards.

Will Draper's assessment prove wrong?

It's worth noting that Draper isn't strictly limited to the 2022 timeline, but he believes the price target could also be reached in early 2023. Additionally, this isn't the first time Draper has made bold claims about Bitcoin.


Draper has repeatedly reiterated that the price of Bitcoin will reach $250,000 by 2022. And in 2015, serial blockchain investor predicted that the price of the benchmark cryptocurrency would hit $10,000 by the end of 2017 -- a prediction that has come true.


At a 2014 auction, he spent $18.5 million on 30,000 bitcoins seized by US Marshals. At today's market prices, Draper's stake is now worth approximately $870 million. That's not a bad return for an eight-year investment.


Meanwhile, Draper has no doubt that blockchain technology will revolutionize the world. He also believes that decentralized finance and non-fungible tokens are the next big things in the cryptosphere.

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin...

Phishing attack on popular crypto sites tries to empty wallets

  Several major crypto sites such as Etherscan, CoinGecko, DeFi Pulse, and others report malicious pop-ups scammers use to try to trick users into connecting their MetaMask wallets. The phishing attack came from a domain displaying the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) logo. "We are investigating the root cause of this attack to fix the threat as soon as possible," CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong tweeted. The phishing attack appears to have been triggered by a malicious ad script from Coinzilla, a crypto ad network, according to CoinGecko. Etherscan also advises its users not to confirm any transactions that may appear on the website. The attackers attempted to use the hype around the “bored monkeys” non-fungible tokens (NFT) to gain access to the cryptocurrencies of unsuspecting website visitors. Although the websites affected by the scam attempt have reacted in the last few hours and deactivated the advertising pop-up, it is still recommended not to connect your MetaMask wallet to ne...

Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs stolen through phishing on Instagram

  Bored Ape Yacht Club ( BAYC ) developers announced on Monday that hackers have hijacked the official Instagram page of the popular NFT collection and posted links to a fake airdrop. Crypto enthusiasts who connected their MetaMask wallet to the rogue website subsequently had their Ape NFTs stolen. Apparently, the attack was planned to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the BAYC collection. This increased the "perceived credibility" of the phishing link. About 100 NFTs are said to have been stolen in the phishing attack . According to CoinGecko data , the minimum price for a BAYC NFT is 139 Ether ( ETH ) or $400,726. So if reports are correct, over $40 million worth of NFTs were stolen in the attack. These numbers are only the lowest estimate, however, as they are based on the lowest price.  At the time of writing, it was still unclear how the hackers gained access to BAYC's official Instagram account. Social media users have pointed out the importance of two-fact...
