Could the market value of Bitcoin catch up with gold by 2030? Some believe it

Bitcoin, the value of which is currently around $ 2 trillions, has entered a new phase of its development – a phase in which, according to several prominent investors, its overall market capitalization could reach the dominance of gold with $ 22 trillions.

After Bitcoin has been dismissed as a speculative technology project for years, it is now re -evaluated by institutional actors and asset managers – not as a means of payment or risk capital system, but as a form of digital wealth insurance. This changed perception could change the market evaluation drastically in the next ten years.

Anthony Scaramucci, founder of Skybridge Capital, is one of the supporters of this thesis. In a recent interview, he explained that Bitcoin, if it continues to be a traditional technology asset, would reach a market capitalization between $ 1 trillion and $ 3 trillion-and thus in the same size as companies as Apple or Microsoft.

However, if Bitcoin were considered a modern value system – a kind of digital gold – the comparison would change dramatically. In this case, he argues, the evaluation of Bitcoin should ultimately follow that of gold, which would mean ten times an increase compared to today's level. That would mean a price of almost $ 1 million per coin.

This view, which was once considered to be absurd, is increasingly shared by other institutional investors who have revised their long -term models in order to take into account the less speculative market in their opinion.

If this development continues, two indicators are becoming increasingly important: acceptance by users and price stability. An increase in the number of long -term owners and a decline in volatility would support the argument that Bitcoin is no longer a playground for speculators, but an instrument for asset protection.

There are currently around 200 million active wallets with around 100 million individual owners worldwide. In order to achieve a market capitalization of $ 20 trillions, these figures would have to increase almost ten times – then Bitcoin would be in the hands of about every eighth person on earth.

For now, this goal remains a long way off. But with every new round of acceptance, the thesis of digital gold moves closer to reality. And if the change of mentality prevails, Bitcoin could ultimately be compared less with high -growing technologies, but rather with one of the oldest units for mankind's wealth.
