The founder of Real Vision, Raoul Pal, recently said during an interview that Bitcoin could be worth USD 1 million by 2025. During his speech, he assured that the main cryptocurrency in the market could exceed gold in a greater proportion.
In this context, that the price of Bitcoin reaches USD 1 million by 2025, is “more or less correct,” confirmed Pal. The founder is famous for his bullish stance on Bitcoin. He said that a “huge amount of money” will flow into cryptocurrency in the coming years. “I think that’s right, whether it’s five or six years,” he said when asked about the $ 1 million target.
“We are going to go through two of these halving cycles, and just from what I know of all the institutions, all the people I talk to, there is a huge amount of money going into this. It’s a huge pile of money, just that the entryways aren’t there to allow people to do it yet, and that’s coming, but it’s on everyone’s radar screen and there are a lot of smart people working on it. “
Pal also revealed that he would be looking to sell his gold investments and convert them to Bitcoin due to the latter’s superior performance. In all this context, Pal indicates that indeed, Bitcoin could be worth $ 1 million by 2025.
