Kraken CEO Jesse Powell says BTC drop below $40,000, massive investor purchases, will become key for growth

This image is no longer relevant

Kraken CEO Jesse Powell believes that $40,000 or less is the ideal price to buy Bitcoin. Powell is confident that a price below $40,000 will be a favorable environment for investors, as well as a new cornerstone for breaking historic highs.

Bitcoin is not for speculators and should be viewed as an investment for at least five years. Powell is convinced that there is no place for speculators on the crypto market, but reasonable and sane investors who see Bitcoin as a prospect for the future, at least for five years, should come here.

The bitcoin market is now very difficult to predict with all its ups and downs. A month ago, Bitcoin rose to historic highs, and after some time fell by $20,000.

The pressure of regulators who want to put the entire crypto market under their supervision further aggravates the positive prospects for new all-time highs.

Powell is confident that the fall to $40,000 and below, as well as massive investor purchases at this price, will become the new cornerstone for Bitcoin's growth. Earlier, Powell said that by the end of this year, Bitcoin will cost $100,000, but so far his forecast does not take place.

In an interview with Bloomberg TV, he revealed that Bitcoin is set to fall over $40,000 in January, which will be a new arching buying window for investors.

Powell is convinced that prices above $60,000 are daunting for many investors and good for speculators who want to speculate on the given price and short.

He is also confident that the coming inflation and the unstable global economy will lead to the fact that the dollar will drop to zero, and people should stock up on food and gasoline, as well as pay for their children's education in advance. The expert is confident that interest rates on fiat will continue to oppress people, and therefore encourages people to switch from fiat to cryptocurrency.
