    fidelity predicted $1B bitcoin by 2038.

    fidelity's jurrien timmer predicted $1 billion bitcoin by 2038. people laughed, but they missed the math: he wasn't predicting bitcoin's rise, he was predicting the dollar's total collapse. just as $1 in the 1700s became $4 billion in stocks today, the "price" goes up only because the currency melts.

    it’s the shrinking ruler effect. if your ruler gets shorter every year, the building looks like it’s growing, but the roof isn't any closer to the stars. $1 billion per coin isn't "moon math"…it’s what happens when the floor of the fiat system drops into the basement while bitcoin’s fixed supply stands firm.

    i keep reminding myself: stop measuring your wealth in a currency designed to make savers losers. the question isn't whether bitcoin can hit an absurd number; it's whether the dollar can hold itself together long enough for that number to even matter.

    what are you actually measuring?

      The ‘shrinking ruler’ is the perfect analogy. People focus on the price tag in dollars, but they forget that the dollar is a melting ice cube. We aren’t just betting on Bitcoin’s success; we are opting out of a system that requires constant inflation just to survive. 1 BTC = 1 BTC, that’s the only fixed point in the universe. 👏🏻👏🏻

      I agree. For example, I measure the value of Bitcoin with gold, silver, platinum, palladium, wheat, coffee, oil. Etc .. is the only way to know how much it really is.

      That is my perspective.

      Bro, I’ve seen a ton of ‘X, famous something-something, predicted $Y bitcoin by 2025’, look at Bitcoin price right now. Can we stop posting these bullshit finance astrology now?

      I don’t think anyone missed the math. Bitcoin isn’t doubling 13 times in 12 years due to debasement.

      The person that made that prediction is a complete idiot and so is anyone that believes it.

      being well over £1*M* by 2038 i can envision…but i don’t see where the liquidity for $1*B* would come from even over another CENTURY

      Why does every bitcoin post read like some shitty AI prompt? Always has that same boring prose “it’s not X, it’s Y. It isn’t A, it’s B.”

      I thought it was 1 million at first, I was like, hmm seems somewhat reasonable.

      1 billion? 😂

      He didn’t predict that. You either didn’t read the whole thing, didn’t understand it, or are lying for likes.

      To paraphrase, he said, if you follow this model, it would put Bitcoin at a billion dollars. He didn’t say the model was accurate (it’s widely believed not to be) he was just using it for an example.

      I’d be happy with $10 million by that point. It feels more realistic.

      If btc gets to $1B, that doesn’t mean currency debasement, that means societal collapse.

      This was from a June 2024 article that dealt with the potential prices of Bitcoin. At the time Fidelity was the only fund making this prediction. The analyst as listed here didn’t make the case this poster is making.

      Other funds and analysts put the price. From. 12 million to 100 million per coin based on markets and predictions.

      It should be noted that in all of this time, Fidelity has not disavowed this analyst and the prediction still stands.

      Happy Holidays

      HODL

      Agenda driven study/statement. Must not have a vested interest in order to retrieve accurate data. End of story
