CoinVoice has recently learned that according to Cointelegraph, in a panel discussion at Bitcoin Atlantis held on March 1, MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor said: "I think we are in the Bitcoin gold rush era. It starts in January 2024 and will last until around November 2034." By 2035, 99% of Bitcoin will be mined, and 2035 will mark the beginning of the "growth phase."

Saylor believes that the spot Bitcoin ETF currently only provides a "distribution channel" for 10%-20% of interested parties, and once banks and institutions begin to facilitate Bitcoin trading, this proportion will rise to 100%. Saylor said that almost all banks will eventually be pressured to custody Bitcoin because their large customers have such needs. "You will see resistance fall, ... one day, Bitcoin will surpass gold and the trading volume will exceed the S&P index ETF."

Furthermore, Saylor added: "If you want to actually watermark, time-stamp, cryptographically sign information, files, and content, you need Bitcoin as a real system to do that. So I think AI will drive demand for Bitcoin in that way." Saylor explained that Bitcoin will also benefit from the development of autonomous AI because it requires digital energy to drive it.
