As the price of Bitcoin (BTC) continues to hit all-time highs and the cryptocurrency has not left news headlines, a new prediction of Bitcoin's potential value has emerged based on the analysis of some major cryptocurrency players, who believe that Bitcoin could eventually hit the impressive $667,000 mark.

In particular, Adam Back, a major proponent of Bitcoin who was mentioned as far back as Satoshi Nakamoto himself in the whitepaper, mentioned the possibility of the cryptocurrency reaching the $667,000 mark in his latest post. He cited what analyst Tuur Demeester, also one of BTC's early proponents, believes about how the cryptocurrency will grow in the future.

Demeester believes that when Bitcoin hits $100,000, people will probably think it is too good to be true, just like they did in early 2017, when it was worth $3,000. Back then, many investors and observers thought it could not go any higher. If such skepticism is repeated, the market will once again fail to appreciate Bitcoin's ability to grow, eventually setting the stage for a spike above $600,000, suggests the analyst.

Based on Demeester's assumptions, Beck has made his own calculations showing that Bitcoin could reach $667,000.

Meanwhile, as the crypto market is a bit volatile right now, there is still a lot of optimism, judging by what is happening on the price charts. Yesterday, Bitcoin's price hit a new high of just under $90,000 but then corrected slightly and is now trading around $86,000.

However, if Demeester and Beck's analysis is correct, what is happening to Bitcoin right now may be nothing more than a minor fluctuation.
