If BTC (BTC) rises 3 times again
This weekend, BTC has withstood the challenges of various external events and successfully defended the position of 67k. I suddenly discovered an interesting calculation: when BTC is at 67k, its market capitalization is $1.3 trillion.
If the price of BTC is multiplied by 3 again, the Market Cap will reach 3.6 trillion US dollars. This is an "explosive" moment: because 3.6 trillion US dollars just exceeds the Market Cap of the current global market leader, Apple Inc. — 3.5 trillion US dollars.
BTC has become the 'company' with the highest Market Cap in the world, a company without a boss, without employees, without an office, a company that is immortal, has a long-standing foundation, a company with huge cash flow and zero profit.
67,000 dollars, multiplied by 3 is approximately 200,000 dollars.
Satoshi Nakamoto is speculated to have mined and held 1.1 million BTC. If BTC were to rise by 3 times from the current level to $200,000, then Satoshi Nakamoto's wealth would reach $220 billion, surpassing the world's second richest person, Tesla CEO Elon Musk, with $210 billion, and rivaling the wealth of the world's richest person, Bernard Arnault, at $220 billion.
It can be said that Satoshi Nakamoto will become the world's new richest person and the first world's richest person born in the encryption industry.
The symbolic significance of this is enormous. The fact that the world's richest man can emerge from an industry indicates that this industry is a sunrise industry and will attract a large number of talents to enter.
Although, in all likelihood, Satoshi Nakamoto wouldn't bother with this pseudonym at all.
If BTC rises 3 times again, reaching $200,000, according to the exchange rate of USD:RMB = 7:1, you only need to have a little more than 7 BTC to achieve the RMB-denominated A8 (multi-millionaire).
In other words, an A8 only needs to hold a single-digit amount of BTC to easily achieve it.
This is called, ten coins can be called marquis.
According to the data of 2023, the number of millionaires in China (individuals with 10 million RMB or more) is approximately around 2 million. Among 1.4 billion, 2 million is 1/700.
And A9 (billionaire) will only need less than 100 BTC.
The number of billionaires in China is approximately 150,000. Out of 1.4 billion people, 150,000 is one in ten thousand, and it's like finding a needle in a haystack.
If BTC rises 3 times again and reaches $200,000, as long as you have 5 BTC, your net worth will reach $1 million, making you a millionaire in the world.
As of 2023, there are only about 60 million millionaires (individuals with $1 million or more) globally.
If these millionaires each want to own one - please note, just one - BTC, the vast majority of them will not be able to achieve this wish: because the total limit of BTC is only 21 million, which is only one third of the 60 million millionaires! In other words, even if they divide it equally, each person can only get about 1/3 of a BTC.
But if BTC rises three times again, reaching $200,000, is it already high enough? No, far from enough.
Assuming that Trump follows his publicly discussed national BTC strategic reserve plan and allows the US government to reserve one million BTC. Then, when BTC reaches $200,000, the value of these strategic reserves will be about $200 billion. Compared to the US debt scale of up to $35 trillion, it is still a drop in the bucket: $200 billion is only enough to repay 0.57% of the $35 trillion. It is still far, far away from being able to "repay the debt with BTC" as Trump said.
The above three times and 200,000 dollars is not an unattainable number.
Of course, this is a static assumption. In actual situations, other US stock companies are also changing, so it may take a different multiple and price to surpass US stocks.
This breakthrough is likely to become the "tipping point" for BTC to enter the "early mainstream," and thus become the turning point for the next phase of BTC's new rise.
In this Bull Market cycle, we are very likely to see the advent of the inevitable 'trigger point' that will attract global attention.
