Bitwise's CIO posted an article the day before yesterday explaining why BTC could reach $1 million per coin. Here’s how he calculated it: 1/ Currently, the 'store of value' market is worth less than $37.377 trillion, made up of gold at $35.984 trillion (>96%) and Bitcoin at $1.393 trillion (<4%). 2/ The journey of gold: When the first gold ETF launched in 2004, its market size was $2.5 trillion. Now, it’s grown to $35.984 trillion, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.45%. 3/ Assuming this growth rate continues, in 10 years, the global 'store of value' market will reach: 37.377 × (1+13.45%)^10 = $132 trillion. 4/ During this process, it’s reasonable to believe BTC’s relative growth rate will surpass gold’s, capturing 1/6 of the market share. This would bring Bitcoin’s market cap to 132 × 1/6 = $22 trillion. 5/ Value per Bitcoin = $22 trillion / 21 million coins > $1 million.
