There is a possibility that the market may ride in billions in the future, given the rate its popularity is growing. Plus there are predictions that are being made that the price of BTC might reach to million dollars too, since it is not abundant in supply.

Let me put it this way:

The current market capitalization of gold is around 7 trillion dollars.

If each ounce was worth about $1,290, the world's gold supply would have an implied market cap of $7.07 trillion dollars.

You are asking if the total market cap of all cryptocurrencies could hit the mark of 18 trillion dollars, which is, according to the above estimate, roughly 2.5 times the current market cap of gold.

I'd say it is entirely possible, and this may happen even sooner than in 15 years.

Now, if the current BTC share of about 55 percent (https://coinmarketcap.com/charts/) of the total crypto market cap remains unchanged, that would mean that the market cap of BTC by 2033 (or sooner) would be 18 trillion x 0.55 = 9.9 trillion. Now you would have to divide this number by say, the number of coins in circulation around 2033, which will be somewhat short of 21 million, let's say 20.5 million coins:

That would give us the price of 1 BTC roughly = $482,000.

"1 BTC roughly = $482,000. " - that's a very expensive bitcoin, but then again, they're actually limited! (even if it's just digitally).
well, what would the market cap be at if all of the world moved over to some cryptocurrency?

It does seem obvious that the price of the coins will increase a lot in the future. The demand will be greater than the supply of the coins, because we all know that the coins are limited in supply. This might even make the price of BTC reach millions also. The possibilities are endless.
