Wikipedia Founder Predicts Bitcoin Could Crash to $10,000
Bitcoin is fighting its way back toward 70,000 dollars, but a powerful new warning is cutting through the optimism tonight.
After plunging nearly 50 percent from its October 2025 high of 126,000 dollars, Bitcoin has staged a sharp rebound. Traders who feared a deeper collapse are watching closely. But just as confidence begins to rebuild, a surprising voice has stepped into the debate — Jimmy Wales , the cofounder of Wikipedia.
Wales says people who believe Bitcoin is headed to zero are likely mistaken. In his view, the technology behind it is strong enough to survive for decades, unless something dramatic happens, like a major failure in cryptography or a successful 51 percent attack on the network. Even then, he suggests the system could fork and continue operating in some form.
But here’s where his warning becomes serious.

Wales does not believe Bitcoin will become the dominant money of the future. He argues it has failed as a true currency and as a stable store of value. Instead of collapsing overnight, he sees a slow decline. A gradual slide into what he describes as “hobbyist tinkering.” His long-term forecast is striking. He predicts Bitcoin could fall to around 10,000 dollars, adjusted for inflation, by the year 2050. And he says it could go even lower.
This comes at a tense moment for crypto markets. Investor sentiment has been shaken. Search trends asking whether Bitcoin is “dead” have surged. Meanwhile, gold has rallied strongly, challenging the idea that Bitcoin is reliable “digital gold” during times of financial stress.
Still, the crypto world remains deeply divided.
Supporters argue Bitcoin has defied critics for more than a decade. They point out that it has survived multiple crashes, regulatory pressure and repeated predictions of collapse. Some high-profile backers, including members of the Trump family, have doubled down on bullish forecasts. Eric Trump recently reiterated his belief that Bitcoin could eventually reach one million dollars.
So what does this mean for investors?
It highlights a deeper question. Is Bitcoin a revolutionary financial asset still in its early chapters, or is it an experiment that peaked too soon? Markets thrive on confidence and right now, confidence is fragile. Volatility is high and opinions are sharply split.
One thing is clear. Bitcoin is not going away quietly. But its long-term destiny remains fiercely debated.
