Olga Feldmeier: "I maintain my prediction of a $ 100,000 bitcoin"
While cryptocurrency prices have fallen more than 80% since the peak of December 2017, the CEO of blockchain startup Smart Valor remains extremely confident for the future.
In an interview with the LeTemps media, Olga Feldmeier, Managing Director of Smart Valor, said the blockchain would be able to change the foundations on which our society is based.
"There are already many examples that are conceivable today as national cryptocurrencies, decentralized registers, and so on. In the coming years, challenges will push us to put this technology in a useful way. Some will become the next Google and Amazon, others will be bought by the dominant players and more will fail. " she said.
The Swiss entrepreneur has made her way to UBS, the Boston Consulting Group and the cryptocompany XAPO. She thinks that finance will be the sector most affected by this new technology.
According to Feldmeier, Switzerland has the potential to become a central state for the blockchain, although its destiny is in the hands of the regulatory bodies of the country.
"The legal framework needs adjustments and the regulator's approach should be more daring. We are on the right path. The government wants to make Switzerland a center for advanced innovation for fintech and blockchain companies, " she commented.
Smart Valor is developing a decentralized marketplace to offer traditional tokenized blockchain assets in the form of digital tokens.
She who is sometimes called "the queen of Bitcoin" then spoke about the future of the cryptographic market and said that a stabilization of prices would take place, while maintaining its forecast at $ 100,000 for Bitcoin by 2022.
"I maintain my prediction of a bitcoin at $ 100,000. This will probably be the price at the peak of the next cycle, within two to three years. According to the WEF, 10% of global GDP, between $ 14 trillion and $ 16 trillion, will be stored in the blockchain by 2027. " she concluded.
