The co-founder and CEO of Blockstream, Adam Back has shared his perspective that Bitcoin might achieve a significant milestone of $100,000 prior to the highly anticipated Bitcoin halving that will take place in 2024.
In a noteworthy conversation on social media platform X on August 7, Adam Back’s positive outlook on Bitcoin captured the spotlight.
Back got into a bet with twitter user @vikingobitcoin9, who firmly asserted that Bitcoin would not attain the $100K milestone until 2025 contesting Back’s viewpoint that Bitcoin could reach $100,000 by March 31, 2024.
Notably, this divergence of opinions has sparked considerable interest among the crypto community
Cryptocurrency investors may rejoice at the new all-time high of BTC before the Bitcoin halving event if Blockstream CEO’s forecast comes true.
Nevertheless, Back’s unwavering bullish stance on Bitcoin has been evident over recent months. Previously, Back had asserted in February that the cryptocurrency might have the potential to surge to $10 million by the sixth halving in 2032.
It’s noteworthy that Back has displayed a positive outlook on Bitcoin and has engaged in a wager with @vikingobitcoin9 involving 1 million satoshis. However, it’s crucial to bear in mind that the bet is in satoshis, not U.S. dollars, and based on the current market price of BTC, 1 million satoshis equate to merely $290.
Moreover, responding to Back’s initial post, Samson Mow, the CEO of Jan3 and fellow enthusiast of Bitcoin, shared his anticipation of a fresh all-time high for the cryptocurrency “pre-halving, not past.”
