Title: $28 trillion in Bitcoin for retirement industry.
Post by: Qcrypto on June 03, 2020, 03:25:34 PM
Check this out: https://crypto-potential.com/post/%2428-trillion-retirement-market-to-crypto

Article says that only about 7.1 million (out of 355 million) Americans are using/owning Bitcoin. Thats a huge market potential right there.
They are seeing retirement industry as the next step for Bitcoin.

$28 Trillion is a lot of money and it just represents the USA.

Thoughts?

We're not yet there and IMO we're far reaching that market cap. What we must aim first to reach back the all-time high that we're crazily hyped. And once it's done, we should aim for the $1T cap first before thinking of beyond. Bitcoin is volatile and it's the character which will make it reach those heights that we haven't expected before. The STF model has been a massive topic for the past weeks and even months before, we'll see it in the future if it does.

considering you own this site, where did you get this number from? it seems too huge to me. there might have been a couple of million people who temporarily invested in bitcoin during the 2017 hype but they weren't long term.

I am not sure about the numbers but potential is there! However, I personally don't think bitcoin has matured enough to become a suitable choice for retirement funds yet.

Probably millennials who have recently started working may consider it but definitely it is not a suitable investment for middle aged people. They simply can't take such risks. Probably small token investments can be done, but definitely not as a retirement fund.

People who are approaching retirement age, probably would like to stay away from such a volatile asset. They would want a stable return every month and bitcoin certainly doesn't guarantee any return unlike banks!
