As Cointelegraph reported yesterday, Dec. 15, Stephen Pair, the CEO of crypto merchant platform BitPay, declared that he expects the mass adoption of blockchain for payments to occur in 3 to 5 years. He further noted that, when it comes to crypto, “adoption will push the prices higher.”

Pair’s statement is in line with what Jeremy Allaire, CEO of crypto finance company Circle, said to CNBC in a recent interview. Namely, when talking about Bitcoin, Allaire stated that he thinks “it is certainly going to be worth a great deal more than it is today,” within three years time.
