Venture capitalist Tim Draper projected on Tuesday that Bitcoin will go to infinity against the dollar in a fundamental global shift.
Draper Confident About Bitcoin Adoption
In an X post, Draper attached a screenshot of a March announcement about Jack Dorsey-led Block Inc. launching Bitcoin payments on its Square point-of-sale system.
The feature lets merchants accept BTC payments with no processing fees until 2027. Additionally, a "Conversion" feature will enable them to convert a portion of card sales into Bitcoin.
Don't Miss:
Draper, an early Bitcoin backer, outlined a step-by-step progression for Bitcoin adoption: businesses start accepting it, then exclusively accept it, triggering bank runs and ultimately causing BTC to go to infinity against the dollar.
"The world as we know it will fundamentally change forever as Bitcoin goes infinite against the US dollar," said Draper, founder of Draper Associates.
First they'll say, "We accept Bitcoin."
Then they'll say, "We only accept Bitcoin."
Then there will be a run on the banks.
