🔒 Boardroom Talk: Stafford Masie reckons FTX implosion ushers in Bitcoin’s big moment, time to buy

This week controversial Cathie Wood of Ark Invest re-affirmed her forecast that by 2030 Bitcoin will have risen from its current $16 000 to above $1m. For most, her assertions appear to belong in cloud cuckoo land. As the chart below shows, quite apart from steaming higher, Bitcoin’s price has fallen from $60k a year ago to below a peak of five years ago.

But my go-to Bitcoin guy, Stafford Masie, doesn’t share widespread scepticism on Wood’s forecast. In fact he reckons she’s being conservative.

Masie, who calls himself a Bitcoin ‘maximalist’, regards the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto’s creation as ‘a fundamental, technological gift to humanity that redefines value exchange on a global basis’. To whit: “Mankind got the gift of fire…….then the wheel……..now Bitcoin.” Not one for the understatement our Stafford.

We got together in the BizNews studio in Bryanston yesterday to discuss implications for digital currency markets of the FTX implosion, including the impact on SA crypto exchanges Luno and VALR. A fascinating 45 minutes broken into two parts. With one conclusion – use the current price weakness to buy Bitcoin. And wait.

FTX fraud highlights Bitcoin’s greatness, ‘Shitcoins’ not – Stafford Masie on Crypto Chaos
Our go-to guy on all things digital, Stafford Masie, believes the FTX collapse and associated contagion will once and for all highlight the vast difference between Bitcoin and its many imitators – so called ‘shitcoins’. In this fascinating interview with Alec Hogg of BizNews, he discusses FTX and its fraudster founder Sam Bankman-Fried, explains how the FTX collapse was inevitable and why what happened proves that in direct contrast to other crypto currencies, Bitcoin is ’a fundamental, technological gift to humanity that redefines value exchange on a global basis”. A Bitcoin maximalist, he reckons Cathie Wood’s updated forecast this week that Bitcoin’s price will hit $1m by 2030 “is conservative”. Sceptical? Keep an open mind, invest half an hour, and chances are you’ll change that opinion.
