One billion people is a lot of users, especially when it comes to digital assets and cryptocurrencies. That's why the Boston Consulting Group (BCG), Bitget, and Foresight Ventures conducted a study to research the current status of cryptocurrency adoption. They discovered that while crypto adoption is still in its early days, the trend is pointing toward one billion users by 2030.
According to the research, currently, only 0.3% of the total individual wealth is distributed in the form of digital assets.
In comparison, 25% of people’s funds are allocated to equities such as shares of private companies. This stat highlights how undervalued cryptocurrencies still are. With more awareness and education, we believe that the number of cryptocurrency users will only continue to grow in the coming years.
If the current trend of cryptocurrency adoption continues, it is not unreasonable to think that the number of users will indeed reach one billion in the next 10 to 20 years. After all, the total number of users has more than doubled in the first six months of 2021 alone. This is a testament to the growing popularity of cryptocurrencies and the increasing awareness of their potential.
There are many factors that will contribute to the growth of the cryptocurrency user base in the coming years. For one, more and more businesses are beginning to accept cryptocurrencies as a form of payment. This is making it easier for people to use cryptocurrencies in their everyday lives. In addition, as awareness of cryptocurrencies increases, more people are likely to invest in them.

https://ambire-newsletter.beehiiv.com/2030 is near already, it is just 8 years from 2022, so I don't think it is feasible for Bitcoin to hit the landmark of 1 billion users that quick. With my recent research, I discovered that slight over 180 million users are currently using Bitcoin. This means that if speculators' target of 1 billion users is to be achieved, an extra of slightly less than 820 million users would join. This seems impossible to me and I'm glad you lengthened the years in the body part. This is because as Bitcoin is enjoying the support of some countries, many other countries are still against it. More is still needed to be done for Bitcoin to be accepted by some people and regions, and more time is required to achieve this as well. If correct, Bitcoin needs over 2 decades to hit that target as China with the largest world population will be adamant, and so is India with a 30% tax on Bitcoin transactions.
