Tim Draper didn’t mince words. The billionaire VC behind early Bitcoin bets dropped a bold prediction on X:
“If fiat collapses, Bitcoin becomes infinite in USD.”
It sounds wild — maybe even apocalyptic. But there’s a method behind the madness. Draper’s not just hyping BTC. He’s issuing a macro warning shot: The dollar is bleeding. Bitcoin’s time is coming.
Remember the Confederate dollar? Draper does. It started off 1:1 with the U.S. dollar. By the end of the Civil War? Totally worthless. That’s the path Draper sees unfolding again — not from war, but from policy decay and geopolitical fracture.
He cites:
If history repeats, fiat doesn’t crash — it evaporates.
Forget vaults. Forget armored trucks. Draper’s pitch is simple:
Gold is heavy. Bitcoin moves at light speed.
Gold’s got reputation. Bitcoin’s got superpowers:
And while gold is hoarded by institutions, BTC is open to anyone with a smartphone.
He’s not talking ETFs or balanced portfolios. Draper says:
Hold enough Bitcoin to survive 6–12 months of chaos.
No cash? No problem — if your BTC buys bread when fiat doesn’t. That’s his thesis: Bitcoin as collapse insurance.
No annual management fees. No hidden brokerage cuts. No vault fees.
Just you and your keys.
Draper estimates that even a 1% storage fee over 30 years on traditional assets bleeds six figures. Bitcoin? Zero. And that’s what makes it a long-term killer asset.
What Draper really loves is access. Before Bitcoin, capital formation was for the elite. Now:
You just need internet.
From Argentina to Nigeria, this is more than tech — it’s a global economic jailbreak.
Bitcoin isn’t just Plan B. It might be the only plan that survives the end of fiat.
