Anthony Scaramucci, an American financier, who served as the White House Director of Communications in 2017, has recently predicted that Bitcoin (BTC), the largest cryptocurrency by market cap, will hit $100,000 within 12 to 24 months.
Scaramucci, who is also the head of SkyBridge Capital hedge fund, said this during his recent appearance on CNBC’s Squawk Box. He also disclosed the reason for remaining bullish on Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).
He said he believes cryptocurrencies will recover from this steep fall if the market players stay prudent in spite of the domination of pessimistic sentiment due to the current market condition.
During the discussion, Scaramucci also compared the current dump to the meltdown of web1 firms in 2000, when virtually all internet company stocks crashed. He then urged investors to remain disciplined in this bear market.
When the host, Andrew Dorkin, asked him about the phrase “buy the dip, he said SkyBridge has leveraged the current dip to acquire more Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).
"I am encouraged by the fact that #Bitcoin is above 50% of the overall #crypto marketcap right now which is another sign that there's a flight to quality there," says @Scaramucci. "I would recommend people stay disciplined. We have bought more $BTC and $ETH." pic.twitter.com/5gzOytm4N5
