San Francisco-based exchange company Kraken‘s CEO Jesse Powell recently told Bloomberg that he was still bullish on Bitcoin and hoped to buy one Bugatti for one Bitcoin by the end of 2022.
Powell joined Bloomberg Exclusive, where he was reminded of his forecasts from last year. When Powell was hosted by the same show in 2021 where he said:
“Probably by the end of the year [2021] it’ll be one Bitcoin per Lambo, and probably by the end of next year [2022] it’ll be one Bitcoin per Bugatti.”
At the time, Bitcoin was traded for around $48,000. He didn’t step back when Powell was reminded of his forecasts on August 26. While saying he didn’t expect the winter market to hit so hard, he still said he’d expect to buy one Bugatti with one Bitcoin by the end of 2022.
Bitcoin is being traded at nearly $24,000 at the time of press, and the luxury car brand Bugatti’s models vary between $1.9 million and $3.3 million.
Powell continued by saying that he’s still very bullish on Bitcoin:
“I bought in Bitcoin again at 18,000, I’m happy to ride it back up. I’m still bullish on the long run, the fundamentals keep improving. I’d never bet against Bitcoin.”
