Billionaire Tim Draper Forecasts Bitcoin to Surpass $250,000 by 2024

Tim Draper, the famous venture capitalist and billionaire, has projected that Bitcoin$42,260 -0.64% (BTC) will reach a value of $250,000 in 2024. In a recent interview with Coin Bureau, he explained that his prediction is likely to materialize sooner than expected, with the potential price going well beyond his original forecast.

Draper is among a growing number of experts predicting a significant price escalation for the digital asset in the upcoming year. With the potential approval of the first spot Bitcoin ETF by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Bitcoin could be on the brink of a significant surge.

Anticipation Surrounds the Potential Spot Bitcoin ETF Approval

Over recent months, the anticipation surrounding the approval of a Spot Bitcoin ETF in the United States has reached an all-time high. Many within the industry are looking hopefully towards an early 2024 timeline for the ETF's launch, expecting the asset to see significant growth. However, none have been as conspicuously optimistic as Draper.

Draper's Bitcoin Prediction and the Role of Smart Contracts

During his interaction with Coin Bureau, Draper discussed his previous Bitcoin prediction, in which he expected the asset to grow from $4,000 to $250,000 within four years. He stated: When I predicted that, what I didn't expect was how fearful and just old thinking the US would be. I think, with a receptive US, we would be having conversations like the ones I have with people from El Salvador.

Expressing his optimism, he added, We are going through the boom cycle. I think this year we might see $250,000… I actually think that if it hits $250,000, it'll go way past it.

Draper also explored the role of smart contracts and Bitcoin in the discussion. Specifically, he conveyed his belief in their potential to bring about a new economy… [with] far less friction, which he finds to be exciting and promising.
