Jakarta, Pintu News – Pavel Durov, founder and CEO of the messaging app Telegram, recently made a surprising prediction that Bitcoin (BTC) could reach a value of $1,000,000. In a lengthy interview with podcaster Lex Fridman, Durov discussed various topics including the potential future of Bitcoin (BTC).
Durov expressed his belief that Bitcoin (BTC) has the potential to reach a value of one million American dollars. His reasoning is quite simple yet powerful: “Governments keep printing money endlessly. No one is printing Bitcoin (BTC).” According to him, the deflationary nature of Bitcoin (BTC) having a maximum limit of 21 million coins makes it a rare and potentially very valuable asset in the future.
During the discussion, Durov emphasized that unlike fiat currencies that are constantly subject to inflation, Bitcoin (BTC) is designed to have a limited supply. This makes Bitcoin (BTC) unable to be diluted by inflation like conventional currencies. Durov believes that this is one of the main reasons that will drive the value of Bitcoin (BTC) to increase significantly.

Durov was an early proponent of cryptocurrency, buying his first Bitcoin (BTC) in 2013. Although the price of Bitcoin (BTC) dropped dramatically after his purchase, Durov still did not sell it. “I bought at the local peak, around $700 per BTC, and I only invested a few million dollars,” Durov said.
Although many laughed at him when the price dropped to around $200, Durov still believes in the long-term value of Bitcoin (BTC). When asked why he continues to buy Bitcoin (BTC), Durov replied that he believes in the basic principle of Bitcoin (BTC) as the way money should work.
These investments have not only proven his trustworthiness, but have also funded his lifestyle over the years. Durov insists that his wealth comes not from Telegram, but from investments in Bitcoin (BTC).

Durov described Bitcoin (BTC) as the ultimate medium of exchange, adding that this is true for cryptocurrencies in general. With its unique characteristics, Bitcoin (BTC) offers a stable alternative to constantly devaluing fiat currencies. “Bitcoin (BTC) is here to stay. All fiat currencies, it remains to be seen how it goes,” Durov said.
In addition, Durov also emphasized that Bitcoin (BTC) allows him to maintain the lifestyle he wants without having to rely on income from Telegram. This shows how important Bitcoin (BTC) is in his personal and professional life, while also emphasizing the great potential that Bitcoin (BTC) has as a long-term investment.
Pavel Durov’s predictions about the future of Bitcoin (BTC) offer an interesting perspective on how this cryptocurrency could change the global economy. With tight supply limits and increasing demand, it’s possible that Bitcoin (BTC) will one day reach the $1,000,000 mark as predicted.
