Personal Predictions
This is not financial advice. This is just how I see the space currently, which can change at any time.
Long Term: I see no reason why cryptocurrency won’t represent all of the value in the world. With well over $400 Trillion of representable value said to be in the world today, I foresee Bitcoin and Ethereum to grow their market capitalizations to that of $100 Trillion each. Given the two today do not even combine to be $1 Trillion yet, there’s a lot of upside and the high price per coin that you see today may actually be ridiculously low in 30 years from now. This means BTC would have a price of ~ $4.5 Million per coin and ETH would have a prie of ~ $1 Million per coin.
BTC - $1,000,000 per coin by end of 2030. This would mean Bitcoin’s Market would be just below $20 Trillion, giving it about a 30-40 X in potential appreciation from where we are today. Essentially doubling the market for gold.
ETH - $10,000 per coin by end of 2025. Defi is the future. Eth staking and EIP 1559 make ETH more scarce, potentially deflationary. This would put the total network value around $1 Trillion, giving it about a 10X potential from here.
XMR - $1Trillion market cap by 2030. I hear the same complaints about Monero that I heard about Bitcoin in 2015-17, can’t scale, not fast enough, there will be better options. To date, Monero is nearing 7 years old as a decentralized, anonymous by default, highest privacy blockchain network. I foresee that being a highly valuable tool for humans, for better or worse.
DEFI - $1 Trillion by 2025 - currently around $20 Billion
LTC - $500 by end of 2022 - just an easy one.
Privacy Coins (XMR, ZEC, GRIN) - The total Market to hit $100 Billion by 2025 - currently around $5 billion
More to come! :)
