Investor Nic Carter believes Bitcoin (BTC) will reach $100,000 in 2024, despite the recent market downturn.
Reasons for Optimism
Carter cites several factors contributing to his bullish outlook:
- Institutional adoption: The approval of Bitcoin ETFs has given the cryptocurrency legitimacy and attracted institutional investors.
- Technological advancements: Layer-2 projects are improving Bitcoin’s scalability and functionality.
- Economic uncertainty: Rising national debts and inflation are driving investors to seek safe havens like Bitcoin.
Debt Crisis as a Catalyst
Carter believes a looming debt crisis in developed nations, particularly the US, will drive people to Bitcoin as a store of value.
“We will face monetary repression, yield curve control, and high inflation,” he said. “Bitcoin has been ratified as an asset class with efficient access tools.”
Current Market Situation
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $62,691, down over 5% in the last 24 hours. Despite the recent pullback, Carter remains confident in Bitcoin’s long-term prospects.
