Crypto Pundit Reveals Why Bitcoin Is Worth As Much As $17 Million

A crypto pundit and Bitcoin maximalist, Mark Harvey, has explained why he believes the foremost cryptocurrency Bitcoin, is far off from its true potential. According to him, the crypto token could be worth close to $17 million in the future

Why One Bitcoin Could Worth $17 Million

In a post shared on his X (formerly Twitter) platform, Harvey made a strong case for Bitcoin on why it could on why a price even greater than $17 million is likely. He referred to Bitcoin’s use case as a store of value and how it could further chop into the market share of other asset classes. He noted Bitcoin’s “tremendous upside” despite being a relative newcomer.

Bitcoin is said to have 0.1% of the $871 trillion which are invested in global assets. Other global assets that hold a substantial market share include gold and silver, bonds, equities, real estate, and fiat money. Harvey believes that Bitcoin’s price could rally significantly as the foremost cryptocurrency becomes the most preferred option for people to preserve their money.

Harvey stated that the monetary premium of those global assets highlights how much they are used as a store of value. The crypto pundit asserts that Bitcoin has the potential to capture the monetary premiums of other asset classes, which would see its price rise to $17 million with a market cap of $356.7 trillion

In his opinion, this is very likely because Bitcoin is a “superior form of property.” If it does happen, the crypto token could also end up capturing 41% of the $871 trillion in global assets. Harvey also provided a more probable scenario as to Bitcoin’s future price. He noted that the crypto token could still rise to as high as $415,000 per token if it captures 1% of global assets.
