In an interview on Friday, November 6, on CNBC, veteran investor Bill Miller said that all major investment banks will own Bitcoin. Or something similar.
Miller also said, that the risks of Bitcoin reaching zero are lower than ever. He also predicted a greater institutional investment in cryptomoney.
„The Bitcoin story is very easy, it’s supply and demand. Basically, Bitcoin’s supply is growing about 2.5 percent a year and demand is growing faster than that. Wise words from Bill Miller.
Now is the time to invest in Bitcoin?
But who is Bill Miller?

Indeed, Bill Miller said that following the purchase of Bitcoin by MicroStrategy and Square, as well as PayPal’s support for buying and selling crypto currencies on its platform, all major investment banks and high net worth companies will eventually be exposed to Bitcoin. Or commodities like gold.
„I think every major bank, every major investment bank. Also, every major high-net-worth company will eventually own Bitcoin.
Bill Miller added, that Bitcoin has performed well for three, five and ten years.
The director of the Johns Hopkins University Foundation said, „Everyone will want to own at least some Bitcoin. Because of its asymmetric properties.
To which Miller responded, „The foundation may never own Bitcoin. However, for a university foundation, it’s a bold statement.

PayPal
Finally, Bitcoin shot up to 8%, after PayPal said in October that it would allow users to buy, sell and maintain the popular cryptomoney.
I close with this statement by Bill Miller: „The simple fact of maintaining that level of emotion and fear. It requires a constant dose of new and really bad news“.
