The head of research at a crypto firm who called bitcoin’s surge to $60,000 last year breaks down why it will reach $250,000 by 2025 – and shares 2 altcoins that could go up 20 times

• Joseph Edwards is the head of research at Enigma Securities, a London-based crypto liquidity firm.
• He called bitcoin’s meteoric rise to $60,000 last year and predicts it could reach $250,000 by 2025.
• The ex-professional esports coach also shares two altcoins that could surge 20 times over the next few years.

Fate loves irony. Just one day before the bitcoin bull run of 2017 topped out, one of South Korea’s best professional esports players – Jeon “ikssu” Ik-soo – announced that he was retiring to become a full-time crypto trader.

As bitcoin entered into a multi-year bear market, Ik-soo had to quietly come back to pro-gaming. However, his shocking move put cryptocurrencies on the radar of many esports enthusiasts.

One of them is Joseph Edwards, who was a professional esports coach and analyst for several teams in North America and Brazil at the time. As he fell into the crypto rabbit hole, the Oxford grad decided to make a bold transition into another emerging industry.
