I know that quite a few people have claimed that Bitcoin is capable of surpassing $1 million in value, but honestly, does anyone here believe that it's actually possible? Personally, I believe that in the best-case scenario, Bitcoin will be worth somewhere between $100,000 and $250,000, and this opinion is also quite optimistic. I don't know if it's just me, but even this sounds too exaggerated. Judging by the latest ATH of almost $70,000, it's highly probable that $100,000 will be reached sooner or later, but there's practically a limit on how high the price can go.
You're saying $100k - $250k long term?? It should be in that range in just two years on the next bull run, and the following bull market at the end of the decade should definitely be above the top of your range. We're not talking about the next few years, we are talking about anytime in the future.
Yes, honestly, of course it is possible. In fact I'd say it is just about impossible that Bitcoin WON'T hit $1 million. The only way Bitcoin doesn't pass $1 million is if it literally fails. Maybe you don't understand how much something can grow over many years. For example, $28k to $1.1 million is just 11 years of 40% annual growth. $28k to $5 million is just 20 years of 30% annual growth. These sort of growth numbers are very realistic for Bitcoin. Growth will obviously slow down over time but 30-40% is much lower than the current rate of growth. I mean heck Bitcoin price has appreciated 70% in just the past 3 months.
And its not like $1 million is the top. It'll continue going up from there. Granted, part of the gains against USD will be inflation of the dollar over many years, but in the next few decades I'd expect to see bitcoin at $2 million, $3 million, $4 million, etc. It might take until like 2050 for it to hit $5 million, and by then because of inflation the dollar may only be worth like 40% of its current value so $5 million in 2050 might be $2 million in today's dollars, but that's still double the question I posed in this thread and I didn't even specify accounting for inflation in the question. So yes $1 million I would say is not only possible but is inevitable. I expect the price to eventually be in the tens of millions of dollars, and even when priced in today's dollars it should go to several million dollars.
In the long term $1 million is nothing, $1 million is just the start. Just think, someone who is born today, by the time they are like 30 and have money to invest, will be thinking about how they wish they could have been able to buy Bitcoin at under $1 million the way people today wish they could have bought at like under $5000.
