Yes the thing is the amount of people who own btc and buy or sell it is very low. However, if there becomes too many millionaires out there... like with btc going to 7 figures... how would this affect inflation? How would this affect people who don't own crypto?
So prices won't soar for living costs then like an extreme amount? Like people keep saying if btc goes to 7 figures... milk cost $25 etc. That would never happen unless you are talking about many many years later?
The thing is what if btc goes to say 5 million dollars and let say it was to happen not very long from now. So rent and living cost wouldn't skyrocket since it's still a small percentage of people who buy and sell crypto? I was thinking imagine someone who is a crypto millionaire and let say they are worth a lot... let say they are worth $10 million dollars. And say their crypto now is worth $5 million since they sold a decent amount. Obviously you want crypto price to go up, but in a way wouldn't they want it not to go up so much though? Since if they do, sure they might now be worth $50 million but so many people who were no longer millionaires might be worth $5 million? Or is that not a concern for these people? So use an extreme example. Someone worth 100 million due to crypto. Say they own still $50 million worth of crypto. Do they really want crypto to 10x? Sure they would be worth hundreds of millions but now there would be many more millionaires?
Topic: What happens if bitcoin price hits 6 figures and up? - page 3. (Read 487 times)
The other thing I thought of was this. If btc hits 6 figures and goes to say 250k or even 500k usd, well that would mean there would be quite a lot of new millionaires out there compared to now since you still need a sizeable amount of btc to be a millionaire.
There would only be millionaires if they sell, and they can only sell if there are buyers. For that reason the huge price peaks don't last very long - lots of holders want to sell and not a lot of people want to buy so the price collapses. Plus a lot of holders just keep holding because no one knows for how long the bull run will last and when the bear market hits it's already too late to sell.
Bitcoin isn't really affecting economies or societies because only a small percentage of the population buys or sells it.
up until now, the population who are into crypto is still small compared to our global population. but let's consider the fact that this market is growing everyday and so the demand will slowly increase if we think about the supply and demand concept.
achieving the millionaire status is not too difficult but how to sustain i guess is much difficult. you can sell your stash but what happens next?

Yea I'm aware the more poorer the country you are in, the less btc you would need. For example someone with 10 btc even can't retire on that in the US. If someone has 5 btc, that is more than enough in many poorer countries.
The thing is for people who don't own any crypto, would btc going up to 6 figures affect them though? Like would inflation go through the roof with btc went up to 6 figures? Let say btc went up to 1 million dollars. Many people would be millionaires but not really since after taxes, they wouldn't be. But someone with 2 btc would be a millionaire even if they pay say 50% taxes.
The thing is if it gets to 1 million dollars, wouldn't there just be way too much millionaires though where being a millionaire is no longer the same? I mean there been lot of millionaires due to crypto but if btc goes up to mid 6 figures and 7 figures, well that would be way too many millionaires right?

With how inflation is, someone that makes 6 figures in the US isn't even that much money if you live in a very expensive state like California. Also having 1 million dollars would not be enough to retire in the US these days unless you live in certain states and assuming you have no job. Seems like you need 2 or 3 million dollars in the US for someone to retire so to speak if they have no other forms of income and you could live off the interest. Now if you are living in a poor country,l having 1 btc is a lot of money already in some places. But in most 1st world countries, 1 btc isn't much at all.
If you live in one of the Asian countries, your monthly income will be between $100-$300 and with this taza, you can cover your family well for the whole month. If you live in a developed European country you can earn $2k-$10k and above monthly and you will have minimum monthly expenses of $2k + to cover a household. You can own 1 bitcoin living in a European country as easily as you can own a bitcoin living in an Asian country. So if you need 1 bitcoin after retirement in Asian country, you will need 5-10 bitcoin in European country it is normal 
Inflation is higher. Prices are higher. Millionaires are more. Billionaires the same. Every thing is on the rise. Including Bitcoin Fees. But some of these are temporary increases. Including the Fees.
It is temporary, which means that everything has fluctuations that will be proportional to the increases and decreases that occur. No one will be able to survive at a price that is too high, especially if Bitcoin reaches 6 figures, and it becomes a new ATH, but then it will decrease to 5 figures again.
There is no such thing as 'too many millionaires'. They are increasing in count but this will not change much other than more people get to be irresponsible with massive Wealth.
-snip-
All are too focused on the statement "Too Many Millionaires", even though when viewed from another point of view, -snip-
those who suffer losses because of Bitcoin are also more.
Those who are not responsible for the wealth obtained from Bitcoin, will usually just waste their money.
Though, the opportunity to become a millionaire is dreamed of by many people.
Seeing how early holders of Bitcoin were able to survive until now and sell some of their current holdings,
they actually became millionaires and built their own businesses.

Well some have been millionaire long time ago but with the SEC and US intervention with the hype and progress of btc it would take time before it could happened. Well definitely it will, but not for now. Bitcoin is uncontrollable asset as long as there are many who supported it. The private sector are probably threaten by its idea due to those hidden agenda they are doing. Tranparency is a key and using bitcoin it can be achieved. Its only a matter of time I guess.

Fees are not related to how many millionaires Bitcoin has or how much it costs but rather how much the users of the Network are fine with paying. If Fees were exorbitantly high and no body afforded them, no body would pay them so Fees decrease.
I think it is still fairly easy to pay large Fees without realizing it because you are paying in such low denominations. 0.00002 does not seem like much when you are using Dollars every day. Even more so when you are using less powerful Currencies. No matter how you spin it, it is the same source Bitcoin Fees come from. How much the users are willing to pay to skip the queue.
Bitcoin will reach six figures and will continue to have weeks or months of 1 Satoshi per vByte Fees. It does not change any thing. Maybe the only negative change is that more people will afford to pay more Fees. Otherwise things will stay the same.

Now if btc hits 6 figures, the btc sending fees will 100% go up correct and by a lot? Or would it actually go back to lower fees like $0.25? The other thing is if btc goes up to 6 figures and beyond, would that mean the cost of rent and food and everything will rise as well or not? Yes there is inflation and it has been going up much faster the last few years compared to years ago. If btc hits 250k, would that mean bread would cost $10? Always heard people say if btc goes up really high, things like coffee would cost $25 seems ridiculous but are they serious?

Now if someone owns 1 btc, and btc goes to 1 million dollars, would there be a concern for people who own more than 1 btc... let say they own 3 btc to make it simple... now that there are way too many millionaires so just too many rich people? Or if btc goes to 1 million dollars, that means having 3 million dollars is no longer enough to retire on in the US anymore? Would that make the number then say 6 million? So after taxes, let's say you get between 2/3rd to 1/2 the amount. If btc hits mid 6 figures or low 7 figures, would it mean everything would increase so much in terms of living cost and everything so people who have a net worth of 2 million dollars after tax selling btc wouldn't be able to live off the interest?
