Realistically, what's the endgame for Bitcoin? People throw around 100k but if Bitcoin is actually universally adopted then even that is ridiculously low. There 7 billion people on this planet but only 21 million Bitcoin. And that's not even considering that a lot of Bitcoin are lost forever.

Owning 1 Bitcoin doesn't just make you the top 1% it would make you the top 0.1% if the entire planet accepts Bitcoin as currency.

Now this might not happen, but it might be a valuable asset alongside other currencies. What's the maximum prize you think that's possible

if btc gets 20% of gold market thats 1.5T ($50k).
if btc gets 20% of gold market it can get 100%
if btc gets 100% of gold it then it starts to swallow equities and housing premiums.

I don’t believe this btc will be utilized as a day to day currency, but more like a place to store wealth. Think more of gold valuation at 9 trillion. I see it being valued in a similar way. So if btc matches gold in terms of adoption it would price btc at 450k per btc.

red pill me, why would any government ever allow a decentralized currency to be used as a general form of payment? What's stopping them to prohibiting the use of decentralized crypto as money when it become a threat to fiat, and arresting everyone that accepts or even posses btc (or any other non regulated, decentralized coin that can't be taxed?)

>> No.22893414

>>22893324

But if it ever fully replaces Gold what would stop it from being adopted further? A lot of people wanna buy Gold, but ultimately don't because they don't know where to get it, don't know where to store it, don't know if they buy real gold, are afraid it's getting stolen etc.
If Bitcoin ever replaces Gold as store of value it would far FAR outgrow it.

gold is an obvious competitor. but less obvious is housing and stocks.

do you think people are really buying $250M Manhattan condos because they feel $1.2M per sq/ft is reasonable use of money for living? obviously not, its just another bank account to shove money in.
The problem with these alt bank accounts (art, non-dividend paying stocks, housing). Is that they are very illiquid.
This is where a digital SoV shines and could easily gobble up 30-60T in these low-hanging fruit.

yes, the gov is going to move against the banks and ultra wealthy. happens all the time. the senators themselves won't own bitcoin and will take vows of poverty because senators love the country and only pass laws that benefit the country and are never pass laws that benefit their wealthy benefactors. this and other fairy tales are taught in schools regularly.

they may try.
but why can they rehypothecate gold so easily? because its such a pain in the ass to take physical possession....we aren't talking about taking possession of 10oz of coins, but try moving around 10B in gold. thus paper gold dominates.
its as easy to move 100B in bitcoin as it is to send an email, thus rehypothecation schemes will fail

Mixers are easy to trace.

gold and bitcoin have completely different use cases, they aren’t in competition. think about the properties of gold and the properties of bitcoin, if you’re going to insist on the “store of value” meme at least accept that there can be multiple ways to “store value” depending on what you’re hedging against

>it would dip to 5k at most.
If that happens Bitcoin is dead, mining won't be profitable anymore at that level since the halvening in May. Difficulty readjustment is severely flawed.
It will never reach a new ATH because of the TPS/fees bottleneck and LN being a scam. Billionaires will forever prefer gold as a SoV.
In a fantasy scenario that BTC manages to always stay above ~$7k levels, the halvening in 2024 will 100% for sure kill it for good.

What do you even mean by laggard? You mean other things have gone up more than bitcoin lately? Go look back for years, alts flourish when bitcoin remains stable. BTC pumps and dumps cause the entire alt market to turtle up for a while while money tries to chase the easy gains (pump) or tether up to weather the storm (dump).

If you see alts go up and BTC stay flat and conclude that BTC is getting left behind, it means you're the newest of fags and haven't even been here for a complete btc/alt cycle. Alts only do anything by grace of daddy shitcoin. He giveth and, in due time, he taketh away. Every time.
