GCR: $10,000
In April 2023, a trader known as Gigantic-Cassocked-Rebirth (GCR) made an Ethereum price prediction of $10,000.
Long and short bias: GCR has a reputation for making extremely accurate market predictions and making big bets, such as betting $10 million against Terra Luna founder Do Kwon that LUNA would go down. It subsequently went through one of the worst crashes in cryptocurrency market history, and GCR made a significant amount of money shorting it.
GCR’s prediction is based on Ethereum’s functionality in decentralized finance and the increasing adoption of blockchain by businesses. They also believe that the Ethereum network’s transition to Ethereum 2.0 and other general factors such as inflation rates and monetary policies are the reasons for this expected price spike.
