Bitcoin ETF Approval To Pump BTC Value

Mark Yusko hailing from Capital management giant Morgan Creek was invited on the CNBC talk show Trading Nation. Speaking on the matter of Bitcoin, he claimed there is concern that Bitcoin investors might opt to sell out to take out profits at the current rate. However, he believes that this buying period is going to be temporary.
Yusko compared the firstborn crypto with the gold market. He explained that Bitcoin is just like gold intrinsically, and it has become the new store of value for many traders. He added that in a matter of 5 years, Bitcoin prices could go as high as $250,000 per unit. Yusko believes that Bitcoin is going to leave behind the gold market eventually and acts as its substitute shortly.
