Eric Trump, son of President Donald Trump and co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer of American Bitcoin, defended the investment case for bitcoin as the prime cryptocurrency lost the $95K level on Friday.

At a live interview on Bloomberg, Trump highlighted that bitcoin was one of the best investments at any given point in history. “Guess what bitcoin prices were exactly two years ago today,” Trump argued, stating that BTC had risen from $36.5K to today’s levels in just two months.

“We are up 180% in a 24-month period, the spot price of BTC. It is probably the number one performing asset of any asset,” Trump remembered, disregarding the recent downturn.

“If you invested in BTC two years ago, it was probably the best investment you could have made. If you had invested in BTC five years ago, you would be sitting on infinite amounts of money,” Trump stressed as Bloomberg’s host pointed out that bitcoin was trailing both Nasdaq and SPX year-to-date (YTD).

Nonetheless, Trump acknowledged that with BTC comes volatility, but asseverated that it was the trader’s friend, labeling it as something that should be harnessed. “I believe bitcoin will continue to massively outperform markets,” he concluded.

Trump’s defense of bitcoin’s viability as an investment asset comes at a time when sentiment is at an all-time low, and bitcoin shows high correlation with tech assets that are also trending down.

Nonetheless, bitcoin has been constant in outperforming its market equivalents, and Trump bets on this movement as a temporary setback.

While short-term sentiment might be bearish, crypto analysts have consistently predicted that bitcoin will keep accruing value due to its increased institutionalization and adoption as a treasury asset by companies.

Trumo himself has stated that, eventually, bitcoin will reach one million dollars. “I’ve always said that I really believe in the next several years, Bitcoin hits a million dollars. There’s no question Bitcoin hits a million dollars,” he declared in August.
