So because of the recent downward volatility I have been reading a lot of threads and posts about how bitcoin is a bubble and could crash to zero. I have a different theory: bitcoin will one day become a reserve currency!
Right now countries typically hold US Dollars, Gold and Oil in reserves. The amount of these reserves is critical for smaller countries. Bitcoin is not on that list...yet.
According to the World Gold Council, the total value of all gold ever mined is about $7.8 trillion. The oil market is worth $1.7 billion/per year. There are also 1.56 Trillion USD in circulation. At the moment, bitcoin is worth around $145.9 billion.
If bitcoin were to become part of the reserve mix for even small countries, its value would skyrocket. I can easily see it having a market cap in the trillions.
Exaxctly. I've agreed all of them. I believe same things. Besides I believe BTC will be used to supply high tech alt coins for low cost and instant transaction times for micro payments. This is simular with that goverments reserved gold to supply their own money to market. Same thing will be happen in crypto world. Companies will keep BTC to create their coins.
