Tapiero’s bullish stance on Bitcoin’s future price trajectory revolves around a unique correlation he observed in the market. Particularly, the expert highlighted concerns about “monetary debasement” driven by a notable 60% increase in the Treasury market over the past five years. This factor leads Tapiero to anticipate a surge beyond $200,000 for the digital gold, Bitcoin. While acknowledging the potential for gold to perform well in such a scenario, Tapiero remains particularly bullish on Bitcoin’s prospects.
