Based on this estimate, one Bitcoin could be worth more than $13,000 by then, he says in the interview he recently had with Greg Hunter.Clif High, who has gradually become a known name for the projection from his Web bots, says his data shows that the derivative that some banks would soon experience would be regional troubles rather than a global bust.apple pulls bitcoinHe says in the video: “It would be a large failure, say, in a northern Italian bank then the derivative associated with that bank ripples over to Deutsche Bank and maybe they are able to contain it a little bit and so everybody breathes a sigh of relief.Then it breaks out in Texas and a bunch of regional banks in Texas shuts down and there is pressure on some fracking whales and they get it contained with a little bit of credit infusion from somewhere else.Then it spreads to California and up to Asia and the next thing you know it is back in Europe.

So we’ll be fighting this basically derivative disease as it pops up here and there.That’s going to be the modus operandi for the banks for the rest of this year.” “He hints that a lot of people are going to get caught up in the situation when some of these banks go down because they won’t have access to their cash.Also, some of these banks are not likely to recover from the “nasty situation.” He didn’t say if there would be a correlation between the failure of banks and the projected rise in the price of silver.However, he notes that for a number of years, silver is going to be an increasingly key component of the increasing complex hyper-technologies.This will be as a result of the escalation in the actual growth rate of emotional attachment to silver between this year - when the metal is expected to break out and create a shift in its price manipulation - and 2022.They will try to suppress it to contain it in the first instance, he adds, but they won’t be able to contain the next breakout coming towards the end of the year (October) because of what would be coming out as relative to technology by the time.

“The situation will encourage rampant hoarding in silver in 2018 and 2019 in many western countries and its price will escalate rapidly towards achieving parity with gold and become too expensive to be used as money.For gold, he says the next number according to his data sets is $4800 per ounce with a projected timeline of March 2018.” If what Clif High, who is considered quite accurate with his predictions about Bitcoin, says about the digital currency is anything to go by, then we should see a $13,000+ Bitcoin by March 2018.Speaking of the price of gold in the interview with Hunter, High says an ounce of gold would reach $4800 net by March to drop down by about $300.He adds: “The data shows that when it’s dropped to that point, just curiously, it happens to match for a brief period of time exactly one-third of the price of Bitcoin when gold does that deepen and it’s back up again.” That gives us about a price range of between $13,000 and $14,000.“Bitcoin is simply escalating.
