Bitcoin to 100K

There are a lot of theories in the crypto space that argue that Bitcoin will reach $100,000 before the next halving.  Some even argue that we could reach that price point before the end of 2021.

Here we have compiled a few perspectives that support a higher price point for Bitcoin.

IF we missed any, please let us know and we will be glad to add it for others to read.

Bitcoin’s ability to reward savers

If you saved $100,000 throughout 2017, today its value would have been $94,000, a total loss of 6% due to inflation. That is without considering the fees and hidden charges that institutes charge.

Even if you invested in the S&P 500 for 12 months at $8333 each month throughout 2017, your portfolio value today would have been $110,000.

If you saved $100,000 in Bitcoin throughout the 2017 (prices ranged from $920 through $14,000 during Jan 2017 through December 2017).  For the purposes of this comparison we are using the last week prices from each month as available on Coinmarketcap historical snapshots.

$100,000 invested in equal amounts throughout 2017 would look something like this.

Since 2017, Bitcoin price has crashed and rebounded.  At the lowest point of the crash of $3000 per bitcoin, your portfolio value would have been $144,000.

In today’s average price of $16000 per bitcoin, your $100,000 savings would have been worth $770,000.

Due to its increasing demand and reducing supply, Bitcoin is expected to reach $100,000 in the next 4 years. Some models show that bitcoin will be worth $1 Million by 2030.

Only time will tell us whether bitcoin reaches these prices or not, but point being, no other asset of any class has crazy growth predictions like Bitcoin has.

Stock-to-flow ratio

According to Plan B, Gold had the highest stock-to-flow (SF) ratio of 62.  That is, it will take 62 years to produce the gold that is currently in the market.  In other words, you cannot willy-nilly inflate the supply in a year or two due to how scarce gold is and how difficult it is to find and mine it.

Current SF for Bitcoin is 25, however, by the end of 2020 or 2021, this could jump to 50.  By the next halving in 2024, Bitcoin could surpass the SF of gold.

According to Plan B, “The predicted market value for bitcoin after May 2020 halving is $1trn, which translates in a bitcoin price of $55,000. That is quite spectacular. I guess time will tell and we will probably know one or two years after the halving, in 2020 or 2021. A great out of sample test of this hypothesis and model.”

However, following the trajectory of Plan B’s SF analysis, Bitcoin could easily reach $1 Million dollars by 2030, according to some commenters.

Stimulus and unlimited printing of fiat

COVID has exposed another flaw in the fiat system.  It is that governments can print as much money as they wish whenever they wish to do so.

Whenever governments resort to simply print money without having a basis in asset value or growth in GDP, it erodes the value of the fiat in circulation.

This is what happened to Argentina, Venezuela, Zimbabwe and more.  

The US dollar has lost over 99.97% value since 1900.  For instance, whatever you could buy with $1 in 1900 will need $31 today.

COVID has added salt to the wound for fiat.  It exposed the blatant fact that governments can and will print money to their whim without regard to the inflation and impact on savers.

This increased supply in fiat helps stock market and market liquidity which in itself helps people who are invested in the stock market and other vehicles which is generally the wealthier part of the society.

Other factors strengthening the crazy Bitcoin price predictions

• Institutional FOMO, for instance, Square, PayPal, Grayscale, etc., entering the market
• Easier onboarding of new retail investors
• Greater technologies and DApps being built on Bitcoin 
• Great DeFi services to lend and borrow money
• Globally accepted single denomination that does not need to be converted in the future (with enough places accepting bitcoin)

What other factors do you think will contribute to Bitcoin’s shooting past the $100,000 barrier?

For all those who entered the crypto market after the 2017 bull run – here are few lessons from the HODLERS from the last bull run(s).

This is our attempt at making all you newbies aware of the mistakes veteran cryptoers did.

Let’s get started…

Don’t FOMO in to all the hype

It’s hard not to FOMO in crypto.  The trick is to make sure you don’t lose your shirt in crazy bets.  Always limit your bets to what you are comfortable losing.

The common ways you can become victim of FOMO are:

• Following your favorite YouTuber without actually doing your own research on the project.
• Investing into projects at the top.
• Believing in promises of 100x or 1000x without any substance behind those claims.

HODLing far too long

Remember why you are into crypto – to make the money.

Never fall in love with your crypto, and HODL the tokens even when they are 10x and more.

Have a strategy to take your capital out before you become a HODLer.  

If you believe the project really has what it takes to go beyond 100x and more, just sell in instalments so as to not miss the ride.

One of the best ways to HODL is to take your capital in full and profit in tranches.

This rekt story will give you a right perspective of what it looks like, it’s one of many:

Educate yourself. There are so many stories like this.

If you don’t like my course, take somebody else’s but please don’t become genius too early. https://t.co/4oZUYA3eGH

Don’t put all your eggs in one basket

Never go all in on one project. No matter how strong the project may look, even the projects with strong fundamentals don’t do well sometimes. 

And, you will be kicking yourself watching other projects go up and your portfolio just doesn’t seem to make a move.

And don’t over do it and have a portfolio with over 100 projects either. It is very difficult not to have invested in more than 15 projects but anything less than 20 is a good way to go, in our opinion. 

Put aside the share of Profits for Taxes.

One way you can get a good night’s sleep is by paying taxes. 

Always keep a habit of putting aside a % of your profits in USDT or other stable coins, as a reserve to take advantage of market volatility and also to meet your tax obligations. 

Exchanges are more evil during bull run

Don’t trust exchanges. Yes we already know that, but they play more games during bullrun, some intentional and some technical. 

Many exchanges tend to go under maintenance when the prices shoot up too high too soon (Coinbase?), and you can’t sell. 

And the shady exchanges scam out before you know.

Regulators seem interested when the market cap of these projects goes through the roof, which then adds FUD around the project crashing the prices.  

Exchange may freeze funds pending investigations when such issues arise.

Take for example OKEx. Users are unable to withdraw their assets from the exchange for almost a month now, not certain if they ever will, and all that started with the legal dispute.

Never fall for Arbitrage gains

Arbitrage is when you buy in one exchange at a lower rate and sell on the other for a higher rate to take some profits. 

Some shady exchanges show a lot higher prices than the other genuine exchanges and when you deposit your assets to sell at those prices there won’t be actual volume to execute the trade. You may be stuck with either a high fee for withdrawal or other funky rules to take your own money out. 

Remember, there is no free Giveaway

Scammers rise with the rising market.  

When the crypto market buzzes with all time highs – scammers cash in big time on newbies.

The most lucrative scam in crypto is ‘Free Giveaway’. Whether it be through YouYube ads or discussion groups and wherever they can get your attention.  Read this article on various sophisticated scams that are being deployed.

We hope these lessons help you through your trades and crypto life.  Stay safe and always DYOR.
