Tim Draper Foresees Consolidation and $250,000 Price Surge in Bitcoin

Renowned entrepreneur and billionaire Tim Draper discussed his changing thoughts on Bitcoin (BTC) in a recent interview with Coin Bureau. Draper offered a fascinating comparison when he compared Bitcoin to Microsoft, imagining it as the ideal platform for developers to launch game-changing innovations in the cryptocurrency space. He believes that Bitcoin will bring together different cryptocurrency use cases, much like Microsoft’s role in promoting innovation.

Draper highlighted Microsoft’s historical leadership in this regard, emphasizing the company’s strategy of encouraging a wide range of experimentation while focusing on what really counts. He believes that the development of Bitcoin followed a similar path to that of Ethereum, Solana, and Tezos, where experimentation flourished. He does, however, observe a noticeable trend toward consolidation as developers come to understand Bitcoin’s potential as a complete platform.

“I’m seeing sort of the same thing happen with Bitcoin as a platform.”

Bitcoin’s Role in Emerging Technologies

Comparing the development of Word and Excel by Microsoft to that of other significant software, Tim Draper believes that Bitcoin developers will create their own versions of well-known technologies that are implemented on other crypto protocols. Notably, he highlights NFTs (non-fungible tokens) and DeFi (decentralized finance) as two important domains within the Bitcoin ecosystem that are seeing cutting edge advancements.

“So NFTs are a big deal, we’re going to create ordinals on Bitcoin. DeFi is a big deal, [so] we’re going to have DeFi on Bitcoin. Smart contracts are a big deal [so] we’re going to move smart contracts to Bitcoin.”

Moreover, he contends that achieving this mark won’t indicate a plateau but rather would spur continuous rise for Bitcoin.
