Bitcoin [BTC] did it once again. The asset broke its own record and caught the attention of the entire globe. Amidst this, PayPal’s co-founder, Peter Thiel expressed his angst over being “underinvested” in the world’s largest cryptocurrency.
The crypto industry as a whole garnered immense popularity over the last couple of years. From being closely regarded as an instrument that carries out illicit activities, to being adopted by governments across the globe, Bitcoin has certainly come a long way. Now, with a market cap of $1.2 trillion, Bitcoin stands as one of the most prominent currencies in the world.
Earlier today, BTC pushed past its previous all-time high of $64,899 and managed to hit a new high of $66,930.39. While BTC HODLers rejoiced this surge, an array of people were rather disappointed that they hadn’t poured in their money into the king coin. One of them was PayPal’s co-founder Peter Thiel.

During a recent interview, PayPal’s Thiel revealed why he felt underinvested in the asset. He added,
“You’re supposed to just buy Bitcoin. I feel like I’ve been underinvested in it.”
The latest move of Bitcoin was lauded by the entire market. Speaking about the effects of BTC’s ongoing rally, the PayPal co-founder suggested that “we are at a complete bankruptcy moment for the central banks.”
An array of people took to Twitter and made their own predictions about Bitcoin. While some suggested that BTC was slated to endure a major fall, a few others noted that the coin could be aiming for $70K. Tesla’s Elon Musk had a rather bizarre prediction for the coin.
The Tesla CEO’s latest tweet read,
Bitcoin’s rally certainly paved the way for several altcoins hitting new highs. Ethereum PETH], the second-largest cryptocurrency followed the footsteps of BTC and managed to hit an all-time high of $4,366.
PayPal has played a major role in the crypto-verse in the last year. From opening doors to crypto and constantly remaining bullish about it, has pushed several assets to a new level.
