The post Former Meta Executive Says Bitcoin’s Real Price Should Be in the Millions appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin Bitcoin’s long-term value may be dramatically underestimated, according to David Marcus, the former Meta executive now leading Lightspark. Marcus believes the asset is only beginning to show what it’s capable of – not as digital gold, but as the foundation for a new kind of monetary network. Speaking in a recent interview, Marcus said the market continues to misprice Bitcoin’s potential. If the cryptocurrency’s total value matched that of the global gold market, he noted, each coin would trade near $1.3 million. “It’s not a question of if,” he said, “but when.” From Libra’s Collapse to Bitcoin’s Resilience Marcus’s conviction stems partly from experience. As the architect behind Libra, Meta’s ill-fated digital currency, he saw how centralized projects could be crushed under regulatory weight. “Libra had leaders and offices – things regulators could target,” he said. “Bitcoin has none of that. It’s a living network, ownerless and borderless, much like the internet itself.” He described Bitcoin as “the internet of money,” a phrase he’s used repeatedly to emphasize that its decentralized design gives it endurance that corporate-backed digital currencies never had. Marcus also acknowledged that the current Trump administration has taken a far more open stance toward cryptocurrencies than its predecessor. “The previous leadership made it nearly impossible for innovation to breathe,” he explained. “Now, the tone has changed completely. Institutions are entering, ETFs are live, and policymakers understand they can’t turn the clock back.” Lightspark and the New Monetary Rails At the core of Marcus’s work is Lightspark, a company built to harness Bitcoin’s Lightning Network for global payments. Its infrastructure provides Bitcoin liquidity and supports real-time transactions across borders through a system called Spark – a new layer that also integrates stablecoins for on-chain settlements. Marcus says Lightspark’s mission isn’t just about enabling faster transactions, but about… The post Former Meta Executive Says Bitcoin’s Real Price Should Be in the Millions appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
