Bitwise CIO says BTC could hit $1.3 million by 2035. When I see clickbait titles like this, I just roll my eyes. This is a CIO misleading people! His reasoning? A bunch of big institutions manage $100 trillion, and if they allocate just 1% to BTC, that’s enough. Let me translate that for you: There’s a lot of money in the world, and if just a tiny fraction flows into BTC, it’ll skyrocket. This kind of statement is basically saying nothing. There’s enough money in the world to buy the moon—why not predict the price of lunar real estate while you’re at it? Talking about something 9 years into the future and casually throwing out $1.3 million. You don’t even dare bet on whether the Fed will raise interest rates next year, so how can you confidently predict “$1.3 million by 2035” now? The value of these predictions isn’t in the numbers—they’re in making you think the person knows what they’re talking about, so you keep listening to their hype. It’s like someone who can’t even guess tomorrow’s weather claiming they can predict the Earth’s average temperature in 2035 down to two decimal places. Isn’t that laughable? The biggest value of long-term price targets has never been about predicting the future—it’s about making you think they’re an expert, so you keep paying attention to them. This isn’t a prediction; it’s marketing. This isn’t analysis; it’s selling a dream. The difference is: the person selling the dream doesn’t even believe it themselves, but they want *you* to believe it.
