Recently in a round table discussion, Joseph Lubin, Ethereum co-founder, stated that he believes the value of the Ethereum market cap could go to $1 Trillion.
No one else in the room even blinked at that assertion.
The current market cap of ETH is around $10 Billion.
What we can say is that either Ethereum is much more valuable than its current value or worth nothing at all. There really is no in between with the path we are on. So if the $1 trillion is true (big if), you could make a 100x return on your investment.
Does that sound too late to you?
LOL a room full of centralized points of failure. IF that were to ever happen, then Bitcoin would be $50 trillion - understand the money supply and financial asset prices to understand why Ethereum will never hit that before year 2070.
Bitcoin is the king of store of value asset that can be easily moved across borders without any intermediary/3rd party that unlike gold, stocks, bonds, real estate, is largely free from any central bank led price manipulation.
Bitcoin is ultimate store of value and its popularity has strengthened over time and
maximizes value compared to any other altcoin...why?:
If it can be shutdown, and have assets frozen by a bank or government, there would be no value
If it wasn't secure, there would be no value.
If it wasn't immutable, there would be no value.
If it wasn't globally distributed, there would be no value.
If it wasn't so strong, open-source decentralized and unstoppable, there would be no value.
If it wasn't so scarce, there would be no value.
If it was easy to spam transactions, there would be no value
If it was stopped after all major banks on Earth banned in 2013 to today, there would be no value. (say "bitcoin" when transacting and watch the block of the transaction. simple fix=never mention "bitcoin").
If it didn't have the history of 8+ years (and still no hacker can exploit bitcoin blockchain), there would be no value
If its development wasn't decentralized around the world, there would be no value
If there was central "leaders" or foundation for the coin, there would be no valueIf it was exactly like fiat and only did transactions, there would be no value.
Bitcoin has all the characteristics needed combined to make the most value and increasing more than any other financial-asset option coming from the manipulated fiat central-banking debt-system.
