By 2050, $BTC will be the world's reserve currency, analysts say. And it could grow to $3 million, according to VanEck.
Sounds great, but let's think about it for a moment. Imagine this: someone decides to sell a hundred bitcoins. Now what?
You can't just click "Sell." That's not how the market works. An order will only be filled if there's a buyer. No buyer at your price means no sale. Why not? Well, because it's not that easy to find someone willing to buy half a billion worth of bitcoin.
Also, keep in mind that anything could happen in thirty years. That's why I look at Bitcoin as a technology, not a currency.
Satoshi Nakamoto didn't create cryptocurrency to be another tool for manipulation, but to change the very approach to financial systems. It was about decentralization, about allowing people to transfer value directly, bypassing banks and intermediaries.
So perhaps in 2050 we will see not so much an increase in the value of Bitcoin, but rather its transformation into part of a new, fairer ecosystem.
