Morehead Predicts Bitcoin Price $750,000

Morehead suggests that the current position of Bitcoin shows that there’s still room for growth. He said, “So, I think it (Bitcoin) could go up to $750,000 in the next four to five years.” At that price, Bitcoin’s value would be about $15 trillion, making it the clear second-largest asset by far, according to Morehead.
