Renowned investor Cathie Wood has come out to reassure investors that Bitcoin will remain standing despite the current regulatory uproar. Wood, who is the founder of ARK Investment Management, shared her thoughts during the Coindesk Consensus 2021 conference.

While Wood believes the recent focus on green factors by individuals, such as Elon Musk, led to BTC’s recent slump, she maintained her bullish outlook on BTC in the long term. She predicts that BTC will soon rise to $500,000.00 (£354,640.00).
She went on to note that in as much as there are continued efforts to push BTC miners into using more sustainable energy sources, Wood said it will take large mining companies to change where they source their energy.
