2100 - History begins...
This topic belongs to the Speculation forum.Anyway,here are my two cents:
1.The possibility of a new Bitcoin ATH of more than 20K USD in 2021 is very small.The crypto whales,the army of HODLers and probably the BTC miners will start mass selling BTC,if the price goes above 15K USD,so the selling pressure will push the price down.
2.99.9% of the 21 million BTC will NOT be in circulation by 2049.Lots of BTC were and will be lost due to destroyed hard drives,forgotten passwords and owners tragically passing away without giving the BTC or revealing the passwords to their children.The amount of "sleeping" bitcoins just sitting forever in dormant wallets is going to grow.I don't consider those Bitcoins to be "in circulation".
The amount of active Bitcoins in circulation is going to be way lower than 99,9%.
