According to fintech experts interviewed by Finder, the price of bitcoin will be $65,185 by the end of 2022.

Experts predicted further growth in digital gold prices. According to them, on December 31, 2025, Bitcoin will cost $ 179,280, and by the end of 2030 – $ 420,240.

Just over two-thirds of group members believe now is the time to buy their first cryptocurrency. Only 9% were in favor of exiting the asset.

John Hawkins, a professor at the University of Canberra, who advocates the latter view, said:

“In addition to replacing private CBDC cryptocurrencies and the general collapse of the speculative bubble, I think Bitcoin will lose to Ethereum, which has stronger use cases, especially if the network switches to Proof-of-Stake and becomes greener.”

Half of the experts believe that eventually bitcoin will be replaced by a more advanced blockchain than its most popular cryptocurrency location. 38% are confident that digital gold will survive.

“Ethereum can outperform BTC in terms of market cap. Solana becomes the main hub for on-chain derivatives. Bitcoin is not a technology-enhancing blockchain. “When you look at it, it’s just a cryptocurrency,” said Ganesh Kompella, co-founder of Tykhe Block Ventures.

The assets mentioned by the expert made up the three most profitable coins in 2022, according to the group’s expectations.

Experts were asked to name the five most influential cryptocurrencies. 87% of respondents included Ethereum. Bitcoin was in second place – 71%, in third – Solana with 55%. Avalanche and Terra complete the top 5 with 31% and 30% respectively.

At the time of writing, digital gold is trading around $38,500, updating a local low.

Recall that Arthur Hayes, co-founder of the BitMEX exchange, said that digital gold is likely to drop to $30,000 by the end of the second quarter of 2022 due to the drop in the Nasdaq index.
