Bitcoin Won't Reach $55,000 By March 1 2021
The price of Bitcoin has been surging over the past month. The world's most popular cryptocurrency has grown from $36,700 per coin to $51,828 as of this morning.
Bullish bag holders are expecting the rise to continue but one British bookmaker isn't so sure.
British bookmaker Paddy Power have priced up a market on whether Bitcoin will be $55,000 per coin on 1 March 2021. They've given the under as 4/6 (-150), which implies a 60% chance that Bitcoin won't exceed $55k by the first of next month.
They've given the odds on Bitcoin surging past $55,000 at +100. One week ago a Bitcoin was worth $47,997, so there could be every chance that we see BTC continue to grow.

It's believed that some of the recent growth of Bitcoin has been down to Elon Musk. On 19 January 2021 there was a $5000 rise in the value of Bitcoin within an hour of the business magnate putting #Bitcoin into his Twitter bio. Earlier this month it was also announced that one of Musk's businesses, Tesla, had invested $1.5billion in Bitcoin and would accept the currency for future purchases of it's cars.Â
Beyond Musk we've also seen a number of other boosts to Bitcoin over the past 6 months. Square Inc invested $50m into Bitcoin, MicroStrategy invested $250m, and PayPal announced that users could use their service to buy, sell and hold the cryptocurrency.
