Hayes Says Bitcoin Will Take 2 or 3 Years to Reach the $1M Spot
A few days back, Arthur Hayes (the CEO of BitMEX) asserted that the primary crypto token Bitcoin (BTC) is moving toward the $1M figure in the upcoming 2 or 3 years. In this respect, he pointed toward the declining banking system and said that the top crypto will get more and more traction. Hayes anticipates that the Fed will soon cut rates. Nonetheless, he still thinks that there is a bumpy road to the $1M mark. According to him, the popular crypto token may witness some slumps in the meantime.
