Blockstream CEO, Adam Back, a key player in the development of technologies like the Bitcoin BTC/USD Lightning Network, said the apex cryptocurrency will reach $700,000.
What Happened: Back said on X, Digital gold bitcoin will surely flip physical gold sooner or later; and probably this halving cycle. So within a year or two. Currently, itd take $700k/BTC but it maybe partially a substitute (some people start selling gold to buy bitcoin crossing the market caps below that).
Backs confidence in Bitcoin potentially eclipsing golds market cap within the next couple of years hinges on the impact of the upcoming Bitcoin halvingslated for April next year.
This event reduces the number of new Bitcoins entering circulation by half, thus constraining the supply and potentially driving up the price if demand remains steady or increases.
