Anthony Pompliano: Bitcoin Is Going Up
He may have come under criticism from Bitcoiners in recent times, but fewer voices resonate as confidently and consistently as that of Anthony “Pomp” Pompliano when it comes to the ascent of Bitcoin.
In a recent interview on CNBC Pomp confidently asserted that the Bitcoin world was far from a fleeting trend, emphasizing Bitcoin’s resilience through past market crashes and the increasing desire, especially among the younger generation, to invest in digital assets rather than traditional assets.
Pomp confidently asserted “this stuff is not going to go away.” And with his typical unwavering optimism, he forecasted a bullish phase for Bitcoin, driven by fundamental market principles and increased institutional participation.

Past Fluctuations, Future Potential
Bitcoin has certainly been a whirlwind investment, once dramatically diving from a dizzying $20,000 to a sobering $3,000, highlighted Pomp, which he said were par for the course.
“This is a very, very resilient industry,” he emphasized. The past may have been turbulent, but Pompliano seems certain of the direction Bitcoin is headed: up. He asserts, “Young people want these assets and they’re going to continue to buy it.”
Forecasting Bitcoin’s trajectory requires looking at the upcoming milestones, and Pompliano identified several, including the halving and increasing media attention, that could spur Bitcoin’s upward journey.
Pomp also brought up finance behemoths like BlackRock and Ark Invests shuffling their cards, and with crypto Futures Trading commanding attention with over a trillion dollars trading, there’s an unmistakable buzz around Bitcoin.

Pomp Slays the Detractors
While Bitcoin has its ardent supporters, Bitcoin also faces a chorus of skeptics. Addressing them, Pompliano confidently states, “this stuff is not going to go away,” as he always has. This sentiment echoes what history has shown us in other financial domains: initial reservations often give way to recognition and, eventually, robust adoption.
Bitcoin’s journey resembles the early days of the Internet, and even the stock market, where skepticism was rife, and many predicted its demise. However, as time progressed, stocks became a staple in the global financial ecosystem. Bitcoin seems poised to follow this trajectory.
Behind the scenes, institutions are ramping up their involvement, signaling a growing trust in Bitcoin’s potential. Furthermore, the inherent principles of Bitcoin, such as its limited supply and decentralized nature, make it a hedge against inflation and economic instabilities.
In Pompliano’s view, which many share, the increasing integration of Bitcoin in mainstream financial systems is just the tip of the iceberg. As global economies grapple with uncertainties, assets that offer transparency, autonomy, and scarcity, like Bitcoin, are bound to gain more traction. And as Pomp ended his interview, he bullishly said, “I expect that there will be a much higher Bitcoin price in the coming months.”
