Bitcoin advocate Max Keiser believes the leading cryptocurrency can hit a market capitalisation of $300 trillion and above in future
Max Keiser, a popular Bitcoin bull, recently predicted that Bitcoin’s market capitalisation may surpass that of Gold at some point, becoming a store of value in the process. He went on to say the crypto has the potential to dethrone the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency.
