Tonight I came across an interesting discussion in the crypto world that deserves attention. Jeremie Davinci, one of the most respected Bitcoin OGs in the community, posted a rather direct message on X some time ago: "You still don't own enough Bitcoin for what's coming." Simple, but the message is strong.

What did Davinci mean? Basically, he suggests that institutions — Wall Street, ETFs, companies, family offices, pension funds, and even national states like El Salvador — are accumulating BTC at an accelerated pace. His point is that if you're not already positioned enough before these big players complete their acquisitions, you might fall behind. It's not exactly a conservative prediction — Davinci has spoken of Bitcoin potentially reaching $500,000 in the future, never dropping below $100k.

But here’s what struck me the most. At the same time, Arthur Hayes, the founder of a well-known crypto derivatives platform, shared his view on the macroeconomic situation. Hayes argues that the upcoming economic pressure — with US tariffs expiring in the third quarter and non-farm payroll data — will push markets toward further volatility. His thesis is simple: no major economy is creating credit fast enough to increase nominal GDP. As a result, he believes Bitcoin will test $100,000 and Ethereum $3k.

Now, looking at current data, BTC is around $77,250 and ETH at $2,120. So Hayes’ predictions of testing $100k for Bitcoin and $3k for Ethereum are still on the table. It’s interesting how two very different figures — Davinci with his ultra-long-term vision and Hayes with his macroeconomic analysis — arrive at similar conclusions: institutional pressure and economic factors suggest prices could push higher.

Accumulation continues to be the dominant theme. Whether for long-term conviction like Davinci or for macroeconomic considerations like Hayes, the message seems consistent: the time to position might be now, before the next significant moves happen.
