Crypto Influencer Bets on Bitcoin (BTC) at $500,000 – Plus Ripple and XRP, Ethereum, Litecoin, Tron, Cardano, IOTA

From the math behind a huge Bitcoin prediction to new support for XRP, Tron, and IOTA, here’s a look at some of the stories breaking in the world of crypto.

Bitcoin

The CEO of crypto investment firm Morgan Creek Digital is expanding on his prediction that the price of Bitcoin will climb as high as $500,000.

In a new interview with BloxLive TV, Yusko says his assessment is based on Bitcoin’s scarcity and advantages over gold.

“Gold is an asset, a monetary asset. It’s been hard money for 5,000 years… and it’s about $7.4 trillion of value. The nice thing about Bitcoin is, it’s digital gold. It’s much easier to transport, much easier to divide. It’s really tough to break a bar of gold into its component pieces. And so it has all these essential qualities that I think are superior to gold.

Yusko says Bitcoin’s total supply of 21 million, combined with the fact that investors have lost their keys to as much as 23% of existing BTC indicates the price of each coin will rise as high as $500,000.

So if we get the amount of value in total Bitcoin market value or network value equal to gold, that’d be about $7.4 trillion divided by 21 million coins, although there aren’t really 21 million left, and you get around $400,000 a coin, maybe $500,000 a coin. Now, when does that happen? It’s probably over a decade or maybe even more.”

As reported by Fortune, the crypto investment firm Grayscale recently launched an “unprecedented” multi-million dollar ad campaign comparing Bitcoin and gold. The company’s first national TV commercial, which is called Drop Gold, echoes Yusko’s sentiments.

Today we unveiled our #DropGold TV commercial. We think it's a #MustWatch
