A survey conducted by major crypto custodian Bitcoin IRA revealed that 42% of the platform’s customers expect Bitcoin’s (BTC) price to exceed $15,000 by the end of 2020.


According to a June 29 announcement,
Bitcoin IRA surveyed over 300 of its customers who answered their
questions on a voluntary basis. A staggering 57% of the respondents also
said that they buy and hold cryptocurrency as a long-term investment.

IRA’s head of marketing, Mike Schrobo, told Cointelegraph that all
respondents were retail investors. When asked whether the firm believes
the price prediction is accurate, he said:



“We
firmly believe in the long-term fundamental benefits and value
propositions crypto provides to our financial system. Upward price
pressures will likely continue as Bitcoin's adoption and scarcity
increases and as global money supply of fiat increases during the
pandemic.”



The survey also revealed that 53% of respondents are interested in earning interest on their investments,
either through lending or investing. Furthermore, 46% also showed
interest in investing in precious metals, 36% in cannabis and 9% in
movies.


Cointelegraph reported at the end of May that the CEO of a market analytics company has gone as far as to say that Bitcoin could take on gold’s store of value role in the future, as the world becomes increasingly digital.
