Bitcoin has soared tremendously in the past week as it approaches the $31,000 mark. Several analysts have predicted Bitcoin to rise in 2023 and beyond. Likewise, Yassine Elmandjra, an Ark Invest analyst believes Bitcoin will hit the $1 million mark in the next 10 years. These bullish views on Bitcoin are not new, and it has retained its status as the apex cryptocurrency since its inception. Yassine Elmadjra Shares His Thoughts On Bitcoin In an interview, the Ark Invest Analyst stated that Bitcoin has been the best-performing asset in the last decade. He believes that depending on risk adjustments, BTC can yield between 2.5% to 6.6%, which could translate to above $1 million in the next 10 years.

Elmandjra notes that although a 20-fold increase might sound too optimistic, it is achievable based on Bitcoin’s origin. The analyst believes the digital asset sector is growing rapidly and will be more relevant in the coming years since Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are already enjoying increased institutional adoption. However, regulatory issues and restrictions are a challenge to the advancement of the digital economy. Balaji Srinivasan, the former CTO of Coinbase, also placed a bet on Bitcoin with James Medlock last month of 1 BTC and $1 million USDC. The terms are if Bitcoin fails to hit $1 million by June 17, 2023, Medlock wins the bet. However, if it does, Srinivasan will hold onto his 1 BTC and $1 million USDC. This bet reflects the tremendous belief that BTC enjoys from investors worldwide. Where is BTC Headed?
