Canadian mining mogul and billionaire Frank Giustra has criticized Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood over her remarkably high price targets for Bitcoin, dismissing her market commentaries as "embarrassing."
The confrontation highlights the ongoing ideological clash between traditional "gold bugs" and modern cryptocurrency advocates over what constitutes a safe haven and store of value.
Cathie Wood's staggering price predictions
Wood recently reiterated her ultra-bullish outlook for Bitcoin, projecting a base-case price target of $730,000 and a staggering bull-case scenario of $1,500,000 by 2030. Speaking on the resilience of the leading cryptocurrency, Wood maintained that "the Bitcoin bull market is still intact," noting that a 50% drawdown is a "victory" compared to the 85% to 95% collapses often seen in alternative cryptocurrencies.

Wood's broader investment thesis frames Bitcoin as an essential "insurance policy" against currency debasement. She has consistently argued that the asset will continue to appreciate due to such long-term catalysts as growing institutional adoption and regulatory clarity.
The 'Dinosaur' strikes back
Giustra, a prominent investor and staunch advocate for physical gold, took to the X social media platform to rebuke Wood's optimism. Responding to her latest price predictions, Giustra stated, "These commentaries are embarrassing to watch. BTC ain’t going to $1mill."
The billionaire's sharp dismissal quickly sparked pushback from cryptocurrency supporters. One user, EDMUND, challenged Giustra's traditionalist view, questioning whether future generations would actually continue "hiding Gold in the basement to save, OR move money making across borders with heavy metal." The user added that while it might be a "hard pill to swallow" for older investors, they may simply never live to see Bitcoin hit the $1 million mark.

"Call me old-fashioned," Giustra concluded. "Just watching the smart money. Not the hype."
