What else does the economist say? According to Dent, bitcoin could gain public acceptance and become the new digital money standard. However, the economist believes that the asset has not yet reached a level to become socially accepted. Regarding the future of bitcoin, he added:
“It’s gonna crash and I think bitcoin could go down to $3 000 or $7 000 and then go to $500 000 to $1 million in the next global boom [by 2037]. So that will be the buy of an of a lifetime, but I wouldn’t touch it with a 10-foot pole even down 50% here.”

What events happened before? In early May, crypto analyst Tone Vays stated that the price of bitcoin would continue to fall over the next few months and may hit the $23 000 mark. And according to a prediction by the head of the brokerage firm Euro Pacific Capital Inc. Peter Schiff, it could fall as low as $10 000 if it continued to decline beyond the $30 000 mark. Analyst Kevin Svenson noted a strong correlation between BTC and the stock market, if the S&P 500 index started a significant decline, the first cryptocurrency’s rate could fall as low as $22 000.
