Two market analysts have said Tim Draper’s bold Bitcoin price prediction might not be as far fetched as it seems. The billionaire venture capitalist said recently that Bitcoin (BTC) would reach a price of $250,000 between six months and a year after the 2020 halving. BKCM LLC’s Brian Kelly and Fund Strat’s Tom Lee both believe that Bitcoin will absorb capital from the gold market. The analysts are not sure that such a colossal figure is achievable is such a short space of time, however, analysts agree: Draper’s $250,000 BTC price isn’t inconceivable.

Founder & CEO of the digital currency investment company BKCM LLC Brian Kelly said that although the prediction sounds “bizarro”, (BTC) Bitcoin is known for spectacular price runs, like those seen in 2013 and 2017. Kelly identified that Bitcoin has been trading within a channel since 2013. Extending that channel out to the end of 2022, the top is around the $250,000 per Bitcoin mark. Kelly said that he agrees with the opinion of Draper and others that Bitcoin will absorb gold’s market share over the coming years. However, he added that he was not sure that the digital asset would reach the $4.5 trillion market capitalization required to hit Draper’s predicted price by the start of 2023.

Next to weigh in on the Bitcoin price call was Fund Strat’s Tom Lee. Like Draper and Kelly, Lee is overall bullish on Bitcoin. However, he too is not sure about the tight time frame predicted by Draper. He said: “I don’t know if 24 months is how long it would take… If it took 5 years, I think it would still be considered a huge, massive, surprising success.”
