Mike Novogratz, CEO of Galaxy Digital, has warned the public that if Bitcoin (BTC) reaches the threshold of $1 million, it could signal a failing economy rather than a positive one. 

 

 

Mike Novogratz, CEO of Galaxy Digital, has recently expressed his thoughts about Bitcoin’s price. Novogratz stated that such a price surge may reflect a sharp decline in the US dollar and would result in deep economic instability instead of market growth. He stated that a Bitcoin valued at $1 million may be beneficial, especially for its holders, but it could result in more serious financial and social consequences.

Novogratz also added that a healthier economy could keep Bitcoin at a stable price, rather than one inflated by crisis. While Bitcoin is known as the ‘Digital Gold,’ surging to $1 million may not be ideal at all. Even if Bitcoin boosts its adoption, Novogratz admitted that he is uncertain about the current trend, pointing to the rapid rise in corporate holdings and speculative activity that increasingly resemble a bubble.

Not everyone agrees with his caution, though. Arthur Hayes, the founder of BitMEX, thinks that Bitcoin might reach between $750,000 and $1 million by 2026. Samson Mow of Jan3 thinks it could reach that level as soon as this year or next. These positive expectations show that the market is very hopeful, which is very different from Novogratz’s more cautious view.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s (BTC) price is experiencing extreme volatility as it moves toward a critical resistance level of $113,000 after reaching a new ATH last week. This is because of the growing concerns about increasing liquidations in the market. As the price approaches these critical levels, the risk of potential large-scale forced liquidations increases. 

At this time of writing, Bitcoin (BTC) is at $115,073, reflecting a 2.72% decrease in the last 24 hours. The whole crypto market is still closely monitoring, watching for any signs of further breakdown. In this case, analysts suggest that the current market situation is particularly volatile, with a relatively minor price shift that could lead to a sharp drop in the next upcoming days.
