But he added that the stimulus programme can also give momentum to the bitcoin.
This would mean that bitcoin’s price could more than double this year, assuming Trenchev’s prediction is correct.
He had predicted in January that the price of bitcoin would reach up $50,000 by the end of 2022. He says people mocked his prediction.
Whales are buying up bitcoin
Trenchev’s forecast for 2020 did not come true, but the bitcoin got to as high as $29,000 that year but eventually spiked above $50,000 in February of 2021.
Crypto watchers say that the market is ripe and there is more than enough that main companies and big firms are now coming out to purchase digital assets like bitcoin and ether.
Crypto whales are piling up millions of dollars worth of bitcoin with the thought that it could become a store of value currency in the future.
Bitcoin has shaved off around 40 per cent off its $68,000 record high this year.
Whales are enormous investors that are able to move the market.
