Bitcoin Could be a World Reserve Currency Says Financial Author and Tech Visionary Jeff Booth

On June 11, 2020, the entrepreneur and best-selling author, Jeff Booth, spoke with Max Keiser of Keiser Report about bitcoin (BTC). Booth seems to think that BTC has a good chance of being a “world reserve currency.” The author tells Keiser that the central banks’ massive creation of money has been a force that is driving bitcoin’s trend toward being a world reserve.

“Those forces, competing against each other, are driving essential asset prices up… People are trying to work harder to keep up with rising asset prices that are created in the first place by the central governments’ trend to stop deflation,” Booth said. The CEO of e-commerce company Builddirect also added:

I see bitcoin as a likely, a very likely candidate for a world reserve currency. So, I see it has a really good chance of winning over time as it works on a network effect.

On Sunday, Burniske tweeted: If BTC goes [to] $50,000 in the next cycle, and ETH/BTC returns to its former ATH, then expect to see ETH [to] $7,500.” The Placeholder VC partner and analyst further said:

Why bitcoin to $50,000? As discussed in May 2019, if BTC is half as volatile in this cycle as it was in the last, we would still expect it to cross $50K and $1 trillion in network value. $1 trillion has been a long time coming for this macro-asset. Meanwhile, to the mainstream, ETH will be the new kid on the block — expect a frenzy to go with that realization.
