Satoshi Nakamoto Candidate Adam Back Says Bitcoin Price Is Too Low, Shares His Own Prediction

Renowned computer scientist and Blockstream CEO Adam Back said that the Bitcoin price is currently lower than it should be and could rise to $500,000 to $1 million in the current four-year cycle. Speaking in an interview, Back stated that institutional investments are increasing rapidly and that the current level of Bitcoin is quite low compared to these developments. “The price could go up quite a bit in this cycle. This cycle is spread out over a few years, so I was thinking $500,000 to $1 million because there’s so much development going on in the field right now,” said Back, who holds a PhD in distributed systems from the University of Exeter and has a long-standing interest in cryptography. Back said spot Bitcoin ETFs approved in the U.S. have generated more than $41 billion in net inflows, and that U.S. President Donald Trump’s crypto-friendly policies should push the price higher. The SEC’s approval of Bitcoin ETFs managed by giants like BlackRock and Fidelity last year opened the door for investors who previously had no access to the crypto market. Bitcoin hit a new all-time high in January, but that peak lagged historical trends when compared to previous halving cycles. Back noted that if Bitcoin were to reach a new all-time high, the price could quickly go much higher. “People tend to buy things that go up. If a new ATH comes, the price could go up very quickly,” he said. Adam Back, co-founder and CEO of Blockstream, corresponded with Bitcoin founder Satoshi Nakamoto via email in 2008. Bitcoin's mining process is based on a proof-of-work system called Hashcash, which Back developed. *This is not investment advice.
