Bitcoin Moon Shot... When?

Bitcoin Moonshot

People in the crypto-sphere often talk about when bitcoin will moonshot.

However, we are very premature to talk about moonshot... or are we?

We are at the beginning of the adoption phase. Right now, about 1% of the people even own any cryptos. In the near future, it will be 99% of the people owning and using cryptos.

Crypto currencies are just that much better than fiat money.
And with all the financial turmoil heading our way:

  • bank closures / failures.
  • bank runs
  • shifting away from the petrodollar
  • bond yield implosions.
  • stock market crashes
  • govern-cement seizures.

Everyone is going to be looking for a safe harbor, and crypto currencies are going to be a shining beacon.

I could enumerate all the benefits of cryptos over bank notes, but i am sure, since you are on steem, that you know these. So, your questions is still, when moonshot?

Well, we are probably still 10 years away from getting to 90% adoption.
However, in 10 years, we will probably be past Mars, heading towards Jupiter.

We will most likely pass the moon this year.
Bitcoin will pass $100,000 in 2019.

And if everything stayed "normal", we would see bitcoin crash back down to $10,000, and spring back to $1,000,000. And in ten years, a bitcoin would be worth a billion (with a B) dollars each.

However, i don't expect things to stay normal. I expect the currency markets to explode. I expect the stock and bond markets to implode. And so, i see a lot of people trying to get on the bitcoin rocket. I expect that either this time, or next time, that bitcoin won't crash down, but instead the dollar will hyperinflate. (if next time, it will super-hyper-inflate)

If you can sit on your stash. Such as you have reserves and food that can get you through the rough seas, then everyone on steem will be millionaires. You could basically buy anything that is buyable. Although there will be so much that won't be for sale.

So, bitcoin is not really going to moonshot. The ground is going to fall out from under everyone. And those, not holding cryptos will be falling with it. Just owning cryptos will put you way above everyone else, however, you and i, will have to rewire our brains as nothing will have a nice price in dollars any more. Everything will basically be barter, and the price will be negotiated in bitcoin.

All depends on the bitcoin whales. I've read that about 1200 BTC holders have a corner of 90%+ on the entire market. Some of them have not moved a single coin during and since the spike to $19,000.

Ah yes! I discussed this in May.

We won't hit a quadrillion dollar market cap because crypto moons... it will be due to USD imploding and taking every other fiat with it.

Crypto will moon over and over again, because value can no longer be leeched to the top of the pyramid. The value of technology will finally be captured by everyone instead of just the elite.

Yep.

I find it so hard to calculate.
Its easy to calculate the stock market; everything is in dollars.
Most crypto markets are in dollars/bitcoin
And then things like bitshares are in STEEM/bts/bitcoin... (how do you even draw that graph?)

The price of bitcoin in dollars...
The price of bitcoin in a gallons of milk, when a gallon of milk will soon be $100.
I just can't compute those things.
But, i keep trying... cause i am trained that way (from the stock market)

When, the reality will be, a bitcoin is worth whatever you can bargain it for.
... i just wonder if starbucks will accept cryptos soon enough that we will swap to cryptos before the crash.
