Bitbull Capital CEO Joe DiPasquale thinks Bitcoin (BTC) is still on track to reach $100 thousand within the next 24 months despite the bearish sentiment dominating the crypto markets since the start of the year. “I think 2023 is a safe bet.

“We are reaching higher lows and even higher highs”, he added, commenting on Bitcoin’s price movement in the last few months.
