Bitcoin as 5th largest asset in the world

[Swordsoffreedom]

To be fair, bitcoin won't easily surpass gold because gold is an asset that has been used for thousands of years, through many wars, great recessions, economic crises, pandemics...It showed the world its potential and the world had complete faith in it without any doubt. Meanwhile, let's see how the world is treating bitcoin? Many people don't even know or care about it, and policies related to it are still controversial among politicians or central banks...How can it surpass gold in the near future with those?
Just because we are bitcoin investors and biased towards it, but if we dare to face the reality, bitcoin cannot even surpass gold in this century.

But you're right, whether it beats gold or not, it's still a successful asset.

You could apply the same argument to silver — bitcoin has surpassed it in less than two decades of existence. I would bet that you don't hold much bitcoin. After all, someone who thinks bitcoin won't surpass gold this century is pretty pessimistic, and you're not going to invest much in an asset you're pessimistic about.

Although both are metals, you need to know that silver can never be compared to gold, both are not in the same class and gold is in a higher class. Have you seen anyone calling silver a safe haven, central banks buying silver like they buy gold?...Silver is a valuable metal and is used in many industries...but it cannot compare to gold.
Comparing bitcoin to silver is like we are underestimating the potential and value of bitcoin, and that is why I never compare bitcoin to silver.

Instead of calling it pessimism. I consider myself a realistic person, not fond of illusions, dreams or exaggerations.

I believe something like this kinda happened when SegWit thing went down, but the users did not agree so then they found out.
That you have "power" in bitcoin until you try to exert it. VERY unlikely due to the fact that it'd be entirely different than how bitcoin currently operates. If you plan on never earning the reward, there's no incentive to burn electricity for "altruistic" means - you either want bitcoin to succeed or you're just flushing capital. Mining is an altruistic good thing for the bitcoin ecosystem. The first real-world transaction using Bitcoin was in 2010, when a programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz bought two pizzas for 10,000 Bitcoins. Just 3 years later, in October of 2013, those Bitcoins could have bought him over 100,000 pizzas. The goal isn't to silence people. The goal isn't to make them go away. The goal isn't to preserve this space for a small handful of like minded peers. The goal is to enable BITCOIN discussion and education. Lots of greenhouse space, tons of individual rooms, communal resources like kitchens and event space, and the opportunity to use the space and resources of the community to open any bitcoin business. Imagine a new revolution in the field of governance where integrating directly with bitcoin and using bitcoin to mitigate trust and create consequences for malfeasance, where governance occurs spontaneously and in an ad hoc manner without geological restriction. I want to see what interesting kinds of fiat we can build on top of bitcoin using its state machine and self verification and user sovereignty as a fundamental governance check. CBDC that preserves citizen privacy, includes an identity system, created a federal currency exchange or even peg to bitcoin, and allows both auditing and revocation of government budgets and control through citizen run software - I'd start using fiat a lot more.

Looking at how many countries are reacting to anonymous cryptocurrencies, it is clear that even CBDCs that can operate on top of the Bitcoin protocol will offer no privacy whatsoever. If cash is completely eliminated, privacy will only exist at the level of transferring funds within the Bitcoin network. As soon as you want to withdraw funds in one of the national currencies, you will completely lose your privacy. CBDCs are convenient for governments but not for ordinary citizens.

Bitcoin once again, dethrones Amazon to take the 5th most valuable asset in the world. This solidifies bitcoin’s place in the world. It’s not just a niche up and coming technological innovation. It’s an asset that is actually with the big guys. Which speaking of.. Apple is next on the list and potentially might be surpassed by bitcoin soon. Apple has a $3 trillion market cap while bitcoin sits at $2.14 trillion market cap now.

How soon do you think bitcoin can take Apple’s spot and what would be the implications of this for the market?

Each of the most expensive and valuable assets in the world carries its own concept. In Bitcoin technology and the entire crypto industry, Bitcoin is the most valuable coin and Bitcoin occupies more than half of the market cap of the entire crypto market. And in the future, it may become even more valuable, which may go to the first position among the assets of the entire world because the demand for Bitcoin in this digital world is increasing day by day and the tendency of people to invest in Bitcoin is increasing day by day. Which will increase the price of Bitcoin a lot and at some point in the future, the price of Bitcoin may even exceed several million dollars.

Bitcoin has become a force to reckon with as it is one of the best assets in the world that people can invest this is the reason why we are seeing the movement of Bitcoin on the positive direction I see Bitcoin taking the first place in the nearest future because there is a lot of potentials that Bitcoin holds to anyone who is interested in investing in Bitcoin


Investment in Bitcoin has become one of the fastest growing investments that alot of person's are going into this is because of the acceptance level of Bitcoin which is fueled by the rise in the information about Bitcoin

Bitcoin may rise to number 2 but saying that it will surpass gold and become the world's number 1 asset is unlikely to happen in the near future. The gap between Bitcoin and the top corporations is just $1 trillion. But gold has a market capitalization 10 times that of bitcoin and is likely to continue to rise sharply in the coming years as geopolitical uncertainty increases. It will be a long and challenging road for bitcoin to catch up to gold, let alone surpass it.

The world is moving to bitcoin but central banks are still on the sidelines and this is a big barrier. Bitcoin only has a chance of surpassing gold if it is chosen and held by central banks and governments.

Some countries being against bitcoin certainly doesn’t help speed up the process. I am not expecting bitcoin to cruise through the top assets and surpass gold in no time but there is a possibility that we can’t deny. We have seen what bitcoin can do in a few years time what else can it do in more? Even if bitcoin doesn’t surpass gold, we can always say that bitcoin has become a successful asset.

All countries will never accept Bitcoin together. Some countries will always try to oppose it. If one country accepts it, another one will show negative attitude toward bitcoin. But with time, the acceptability of Bitcoin is increasing. People are now trying to buy more Bitcoin than before. Big countries of the world including America are now planning to reserve Bitcoin. It can be said that the demand for Bitcoin will increase further in the coming days.

According to the gold market price, Bitcoin currently covers about 10%, but this gap will decrease a lot in the future. Gold appeared long ago, while Bitcoin's journey has just begun. However, if we compare it in terms of acceptability, Bitcoin has definitely advanced a lot. If the Bitcoin market is currently about 10% of the gold market, it is not unusual for it to be  40% in the next 1 decade. Especially if some other countries including the United States try to reserve Bitcoin.

Honestly, I doubt that Bitcoin is ready to overtake Apple just yet. Companies like Apple, Microsoft, and Nvidia are going through a tough period - revenues are declining due to inflation, supply chain issues, and more. But they still have real products, billions of users, and strong infrastructure. Bitcoin, on the other hand, is currently surging without any clear new use case mostly driven by speculation and expectations. Right now, it looks more like a store of value than something that truly replaces traditional financial systems.
A price of $152–165K isn’t just a "small step up" it would require trillions of dollars flowing into the market. So achieving that within 6–12 months seems overly optimistic.

Yes, it would be overly optimistic to believe bitcoin will surpass the capitalization of leading technology corporations like Apple, Nvidia to become the world's second largest asset in the next 6 to 12 months. But I think Bitcoin will surpass all of them and take the number 2 spot is almost certain, it's just a matter of time and it might take longer than people think.

Although bitcoin is still considered a speculative asset at this point, it is no coincidence that it is compared to gold or is referred to by many experts as digital gold. That shows its potential is huge. People are not wrong in expecting bitcoin to have the potential to surpass gold, but the mistake they make is being overly optimistic in thinking, it will happen in the next few years.

I understand why many people are so optimistic about Bitcoin’s rapid growth - it’s often based on the expectation that the price will rise according to a geometric progression. In other words, people see past sharp increases and think, “If it grew 10 times in a couple of years before, then it will soon grow even more and faster.” This is the effect of “accelerated growth” or “positive feedback,” where more and more market participants join Bitcoin, pushing the price higher.
But the reality is usually more complex. Market growth depends not only on math but also on fundamental factors: technological development, mass acceptance, external economic conditions and many others. It’s important to remember that past growth rates do not guarantee future ones, especially when we’re talking about huge amounts - trillions of dollars that need to flow in to surpass Apple or Nvidia.
That said, it’s hard to deny that someday we might still overtake them.

Bitcoin can reach the highest place due to the way different institutions and governments in different countries have adopted Bitcoin. There has been a competition among many as to who can buy and hold the most Bitcoin. However, Bitcoin has a long way to go to reach the top. Because the market value of gold is between 17 and 22 trillion dollars, while the market value of Bitcoin is 2.2 trillion dollars. If we compare Bitcoin with gold, then it can be said that gold has been used for ages and is a very ancient metal. However, the journey of Bitcoin is only since 2009. The journey of Bitcoin and gold is not together.

Gold has been the most valuable metal in the world for thousands of years, this will not be easy to change. We know that bitcoin is not a competitor of gold for now, maybe in a few years it will be at a level that can compete with gold and become the most valuable thing in the world.
For now it would be more accurate to say that its competitors are corporations. and I am sure that it will surpass them all before too much time passes, it will grow even more to become the most valuable asset

While the reputation of Apple, Microsoft or Nvidia may be globally renowned, but when it comes to investing, it is quite limited because not everyone has the opportunity to access and invest in them. Only investors from the United States and a few other countries can access and invest in those stocks. Meanwhile, bitcoin is more global in scale and anyone in the world can invest in it without asking anyone's permission. So I don't think they can compete with bitcoin, it's just a matter of time before bitcoin surpasses all of them.

But when it comes to gold, this will be a more difficult task because gold is also a global asset, with a history of thousands of years and recognized worldwide. So it will take a long time for bitcoin to compete with gold.

Gold will always be there for older institutions to use and talk about, but BTC - it will become the greatest alternative yet to store value properly, so many benefits that get only better
