Why Kevin O'Leary Disagrees With Cathie Wood's $1.5M Prediction for Bitcoin

ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood said on CNBC Thursday that bitcoin (BTC), the world's largest cryptocurrency by market cap, could reach $1,500,000 in price by 2030 in a bullish scenario, raising her estimate by 50% from a previous prediction of $1 million. O'Leary Ventures chairman, Kevin O'Leary, explains why he doesn't agree with Wood's price prediction, "for bitcoin to appreciate that quickly to that price would mean that the U. S. economy had somehow faltered, in my view," O'Leary said.
