Billionaire Investor Maintains BTC Price Will Hit $500K, but Not Over the Next Five Years

Billionaire investor Mike Novogratz has revealed that he still believes the flagship cryptocurrency Bitcoin ($BTC) will trade at $500,000 per coin in the future, but delayed his prediction over the Federal Reserve and other central banks raising interest rates to rein in on inflation.

During an interview with Bloomberg, Novogratz said that he believes $BTC will trade at $500,000 but “not in five years,” as per his words Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell found “his central banking superpowers.”

Bitcoin and other risk assets have been seeing their prices plunge over the last few months as central banks throughout the world raise interest rates to bring down inflation. Moreover, the collapse of FTX, which is believed to have invested users’ funds and now owes over $3 billion to its largest creditors, have accelerated losses in the crypto space.

    The Bitcoin block reward is forecast to halve on April 20th. This is seen as a bullish catalyst for crypto markets. I agree that it will pump prices in the medium term; however, the price action directly before and after could be negative. The narrative of the halving being positive for crypto prices is well entrenched. When most market participants agree on a certain outcome, the opposite usually occurs. That is why I believe Bitcoin and crypto prices in general will slump around the halving.
