Wall Street Strategist Sees Bitcoin at $55,000 by 2022: CNBC

Tom Lee, strategist at the firm Fundstrat, has released his estimate on the value of Bitcoin by 2022, CNBC reports.

In the next five years
Lee, an expert in market commodities and stock valuations, has made his estimate based on Bitcoin’s limited supply and market stabilization. He’s not the first to make such bullish predictions either. Ronnie Moas, the famous stock picker and strategist has also suggested substantial upside, even in the near term.

What's driving the demand?
Lee believes that one of the main market drivers for Bitcoin is a cannibalizing of gold demand. As the economic situation continues to present concern for many investors, vehicles like Bitcoin can be a way to store value similar to gold and other precious metals.

The limitation on supply, as there can be no more than 21 million inherent units, and the decentralized nature of cryptocurrencies make Bitcoin a safe harbor in times of economic uncertainty, according to Lee.

"In other words, substantial upside exists in owning cryptocurrencies here”.

Lee did accept the reality that Bitcoin is wildly volatile, considering that the its annualized volatility is 75 percent, but also argued that gold had the same effect in the late 1970’s, saying, “gold's volatility approached 90% from 1971 to 1980 as the U.S. abandoned the gold standard — hence, we expect this to improve over time."

Wow liked your post its greatest post ever seen See my blog I post intresting things hope you'll like it lets be friends follow me on @xol & upvote on my posts

Considering cryptos are relatively new, the volatility it's perfectly normal as people and investors don't really know what to do with it.
Also, there are not many people willing to risk holding it for X number of years just because it's the new hot thing.

With this, its a game, when it drops, its a God sen, buy and build your portfolio. Its only going to last so long where we have dips, then when the climb happens its going to go go go

Yes, it kinda has the same pattern... Probably has something to do with the season too. It's summer, people cashing out for a vacation, they take a break, forget about their business for a bit, etc...
