Tim Draper predicted in a Sept. 10 Coinage interview that bitcoin will reach $250,000 within two years, a horizon previously identified as roughly October 2027. He ties the forecast to broader merchant adoption, easier everyday use, artificial intelligence and blockchain-based smart contracts that could reduce reliance on financial intermediaries. Draper urged families to hold enough bitcoin for six months of expenses, companies enough for four weeks of payroll and governments to add BTC to their treasuries. He said a rapid shift could occur if retailers move from accepting bitcoin to accepting only bitcoin, prompting consumers to convert dollar savings. Draper called the proposed CLARITY Act a first step toward regulatory certainty but said it falls short of his vision for a bitcoin-based economy in which funds raise and invest capital, while portfolio companies pay employees, suppliers and taxes in BTC.
