2026 será grande. Bitcoin se vuelve convencional. Mi predicción de $250K finalmente alcanzada.

Draper tied the $250K call to his view that Bitcoin goes mainstream in 2026. He made it in the same X post in which he forecast a trillion-dollar IPO, passenger flights to the moon, biotech longevity advances and autonomous vehicles, calling 2026 a boom year.
