When I predicted Bitcoin at $500,000 by the end of 2020, it used a model that predicted $5,000 at the end of 2017. BTC has accelerated much faster than my model assumptions. I now predict Bircoin at $1 million by the end of 2020. I will still eat my dick if wrong. pic.twitter.com/WVx3E71nyD

Bitcoin (BTC) $1 million Peak: a Certainty or Speculation?
It is just a prediction, but we can’t tag it as useless and throw it to the bin because the usual forecasters have metrics they analyze and follow before making any prediction. The total capital Bitcoin (BTC) will accrue if each of its coins cost 1 million dollars probably boosts the doubts of the critics as BTC total market capitalization would become 13.44 trillion dollars, sounds so outrageous?
This sum would make Bitcoin network richer than some world’s biggest economies like China and well-known companies such as Apple, Amazon, Facebook, etc.
Also, the reality of such a prediction would make BTC take 11.7 percent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the whole world and 19.5 percent of global market.
