In a recent CNBC interview, former White House Communication Director Anthony Scaramucci recently emphasized Bitcoin’s bright future by pointing to potential long-term investment. Scaramucci remarked that Bitcoin ETFs had experienced remarkable growth, surpassing the $10 billion cumulative inflow.
Scaramucci commented that Bitcoin affected the currency movement and the decline of the USD by overcoming a 22% loss since January 2020. While gold had a maximum price enhancement of 10% in that particular period, Bitcoin saw more than 800% increment in its value, still being prone to sharp price fall.
Scaramucci sees Bitcoin as a digital asset like gold that could disrupt the current financial system. He believes it could eventually be worth $170,000, similar to the gold market. He draws attention to the variation in the crypto market, which usually occurs every 18 months after the halving event.
Scaramucci further discussed the recent sentencing of 32-year-old Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), whose venture arm bought a stake in Skybridge Capital last September. Mr. Bankman-Fried’s company, FTX, went bankrupt just 10 months later.
Scaramucci appeared sympathetic towards Bankman-Fried, considering the 25-year sentence too lenient. He suggested that Bankman-Fried should have pleaded guilty before the trial began. He regarded the effect on his firm and the damage to its image, yet also the possibility of compensation in the form of shares by the individuals.
