The venture investor seems so certain of his prediction that he offers anyone to make a bet on the prediction blockchain platform Polymarket.
Prediction: Bitcoin 4x in less than 2 years from here. #bitcoin #opportunity Maybe a @Polymarket bet?

Earlier this month, Draper already tweeted several times about $BTC, saying that it presents a "palpable" opportunity and is meant for the long run. The investor believes that Bitcoin is, anyway, better than “leaking banks” and “spending governments.”
Bitcoin to $10,000,000, said Tim Draper one month ago
Exactly a month ago — on Jan. 19, Draper published a tweet, in which he predicted Bitcoin reaching a mind-blowing $10,000,000 per coin. That is his long-term target.
Overall, Draper has been quickly changing his predictions. As reported by U.Today, in early January, the venture capitalist said he expected $BTC to “hit $250,000” in 2026. Now, he has upped his target to “4x in less than two years.”
Many permabulls agree with Draper overall, including Strategy cofounder Michael Saylor and JAN3 CEO Samson Mow. However, Saylor mentions a ten-year horizon for Bitcoin to soar above $1,000,000, and Mow expects the $1 million price threshold to be surpassed “very soon” — or at least he expects Bitcoin to print an Omega candle on the charts, which would significantly push Bitcoin price up, even if not to $1 million immediately, then somewhere close to $250,000 or half a million.
While they have all been making these ultra-bullish predictions, Bitcoin has fallen from its $126,000 all-time high reached in October and is currently changing hands at $66,880 per coin. Michael Saylor has stated outright that we are in a crypto winter, but it is going to be shorter than in the past.
