There are people out there will tens of thousands or even 100k bitcoins. If bitcoin ever gets to a million were talking about people with a net worth of over a trillion dollars. This is 10x the net worth of Bizos the richest man in the world. Do we really see this as a possibility? Seems highly unlikely that the top 500 richest people in the world are going to get BTFO'd by some bitcoin hodlers....

No, it can not.
People that are entering the market now will cash out in 3-4 months, tops, and they will have to sell their BTC because they can't purchase things with them.
Ultimately, that is what will bring prices to a crash.

>> No.4961357

It can but not anytime soon.

Don't forget about inflation. The dollar loses value every year.

Here you can look at historic inflation rates https://inflationdata.com/Inflation/Inflation/DecadeInflation.asp


That means that in 20 years the dollar could be worth just 50% of what it is now. There will be non-bitcoin trillionaires by then because rich people have ways to get richer. So even if Bezos or Gates isn't a trillionaire by then, someone else will be.

On the way to 1 million dollar it's extremely likely that anyone with over 100k bitcoins will either SELL some of it, die or somehow have lost the privatekey.

There might be one or two individuals who still have 100k or more, but these will be unable to sell for 1 million each, the moment they move it and don't burn at least 25% of their coins they will crash the price.

Maybe they're better off making money by shorting and moving their money.

You should realise that Bezos is actually really far from the wealth people had in history.
People like Stalin owned literally 10% of the world's net worth.

The wealthiest man in history is Mansa Musa, and he made his fortune by owning a large share of a highly demanded currency, gold.
He basically was worth many trillions.
Julius Caesar was worth what you can estimate at 4.6 trillions of current dollars.

But I don't think btc will go to 1M, 100-200k why not.
And they will cash out a part or donate, like all rich people do nowadays.
I guess they'll give their coins directly though.

Satoshi is estimated to have 1million coins. Also there is a BCH wallet with 350k coins. Basically if you held a lot of BTC and then you sold your BTC for BCH at 1:10 or 1:15 ratio and then a flippening does actually happen you will have more money than god.

Bitcoin hitting a million goes so far beyond some NEETs making a few million dollars. Were talking about a change in the entire power structure of the world. It is hard to imagine something like that actually happening.

NOPE.
By the time you cash it, you'll have shit on the price of it midway through. (given the limits and transaction time)
Bitcoin community is way too small and volatile for it to be feasible.
And nobody will let you take it all out at once.

There could be some way to do it. But I obviously wouldn't say it, that would be dumb.
It'd be very hacky and require fairly precise timing to pull off properly.
It would almost certainly fail even then. Would probably lose around 60+% of the value you had.

even now 1M is only 66btc, just on bitfinex it's the volume of around 70 seconds.
There are spikes of 2000+ btc in a 5 minute timeframe.

Or you can do that on gdax, which volume is 900 millions $ a day just for btc, then cash out 10k a day via coinbase. It'll take you 100 days.

If btc was 1M then of course the markets would be so huge that it would be even easier.

Bitcoin could easily become worth 1 million on paper, but mostly as a weird function of demand and ACTUAL coins available for circulation and not tied up in lost wallets. That and withdrawal limits and bitcoin millionaires lack of desire to put that money in to other assets means this stuff could go up for a long time. Potentially forever if this stuff makes its way in to retirement vehicles and people just automatically buy it as part of their retirement planning.

Kind of depends on if Bitcoin ever just falls out of style. I mean if the gains slow down and people stop buying, then we could get a feedback loop that does the opposite of what it does now. I mean if bitcoin were to slowly lose half its value over the year, and continued for year after year because no one wants to buy something that will lose them money, it could collapse as easily as it shot up.

I don't know that BTC will go up forever, but crypto will probably stick around forever in some form or other, just because it actually is a very nice way to represent ownership in something. I mean it's way easier to use than all the bullshit that goes in to owning stocks, and the various features that can be implemented like anonymity with Monero means it will always have room to do something new.

I can park my wealth in other coins that can do shit too. This is the nature of the bubble here people.

Most dumbasses are still arguing against the bubble stuff like its a bunch of nocoiners FUD and FOMOing over crypto in general.

Problem is, this bubble argument is that Bitcoin is a shitcoin and the bubble deflates when motherfuckers start realizing you can buy shit with it when they want to be buying shit with it.

The problem with BTC is that its value is entirely a function of how much people want it. With gold, even if everyone suddenly decided it was worthless and a complete shitmineral, it would still exist. It would still have useful physical properties, even if it were just used for cheap Chinese goods, you could still use it for something, it will always be worth something. Not so with bitcoin. If everybody decided bitcoin was worthless, it would be worthless. You can't use it for anything, it's not even convenient to transfer.
