Technology investor Jason Calacanis has issued a bearish forecast for 
Bitcoin, suggesting it could drop by 28% to $57,000 and asserting that the cryptocurrency will never return to its previous all-time highs.
Calacanis, known for his early investments in tech startups, argues that Bitcoin is losing ground to artificial intelligence, which is attracting significant capital and investor interest. He attributes the potential decline to ETF outflows and a broader shift in investment trends away from cryptocurrencies.
The prediction comes at a time when Bitcoin is trading at $80,508, having gained 0.34% in the past 24 hours but still down 2.45% over the last week. The total cryptocurrency market cap stands at $2.77 trillion, indicating a relatively flat market overall.
Calacanis' warning reflects ongoing debates about Bitcoin's future in the face of emerging technologies and investment opportunities. While some investors remain bullish on Bitcoin's long-term potential, others are increasingly concerned about competition from AI and other sectors.
The Fear & Greed Index currently sits at 48, indicating a neutral market sentiment. Investors will be watching for further developments in ETF flows and AI investment trends to gauge the potential impact on Bitcoin's price.
