One quadrillion US dollars as the upper limit to Bitcoin market cap

[JaanusRaim]

If Bitcoin is an experiment aimed at consolidating the value of all assets, and if, ultimately, Bitcoin becomes the world's only valuable asset—with the value of all other assets dropping to zero—then its market cap would reach approximately one quadrillion US dollars, corresponding to the total value of all current assets.
This represents the upper limit of BTC's market capitalization (expressed in the current purchasing power of the US dollar).

In this case:
the price of one Bitcoin 50 million USD
the price of one satoshi 0.50 USD
Bitcoin market cap per person 120 thousand USD
Price rise potential 625x

What a strange way of thinking! People will always have different tastes, different desires, different goals, and based on that, they will put their money into different things. Bitcoin has the potential to attract many more new people every day, week, month, and year. But it won't stop everyone from buying gold, silver, real estate, or stocks. People who like gold, for example, do it almost like a religion; even if they buy Bitcoin, they won't stop buying gold. So your analysis is only on paper; it has zero probability of happening. Even if 1000 years pass, what you said won't happen, and it was a huge exaggeration to say the price of Bitcoin is $50 million per Bitcoin; that's far too absurd a value. It may never even reach $1 million.

I basically agree with you, the probability this scenario is very very small. It it the absolute limit. Now is fulfilled only 0.16% of it.

If everything in the world, stocks, real estate, funds, bonds are worthless....
What would you do with BTC anyhow, since it cost zero to buy all of Nvidia?
If all other things will drop to zero Bitcoin will do so also, there is nothing magical about it that can hold value while everything is going down, deflation is a curse for every single assets, nobody would be buying something when everything gets cheaper.

This whole thing is contrary to what Bitcoin is designed to do, in this case, you're just printing value out of nowhere.
