Former Thai PM Thaksin Shinawatra just shared a very bullish take on Bitcoin 👀

He revealed that some of his well-connected friends believe BTC could eventually hit $850,000.

Speaking around mid-December 2024, Thaksin said Thailand shouldn’t ignore crypto anymore. According to him, people need to learn and understand Bitcoin now, because its growth could soon influence national policy.

He even suggested starting Bitcoin payments in tourist hotspots like Phuket and Hua Hin, saying it could attract more global visitors and give the economy a boost 🌴💳

On top of that, he floated the idea of government bond-backed stablecoins to improve liquidity and modernize Thailand’s financial system.

Is $850K realistic? It’s a huge jump (around 9–10x from $85K–$90K), but ultra-bulls point to: • Bitcoin’s fixed 21M supply

• Growing institutional & ETF adoption

• Rising nation-state interest

• BTC’s role as an inflation hedge

Of course, it all depends on macro conditions, regulations, and global markets.

Still, when high-profile political figures in Asia start talking like this, it shows how mainstream $BTC Bitcoin is becoming.
