 Paxful co-founder calls Bitcoin six-figure price predictions "clickbait." Ray Youssef said that when the price gets interesting "forces drive it down." The co-founder of the peer-to-peer (P2P) Bitcoin marketplace said that the only way this can be prevented is through real interest from people, adding that Bitcoin is growing fast in the P2P sector and will continue to increase as the "currency wars flare-up." In his view, this is a long-term game of around 20 years. His comment was in response to a Twitter user who said that if Bitcoin goes to $288,000, "every single CT tweep will become relatively rich," adding that they don't understand how this could happen @RAYPAXFUL/TWITTER
