Recent logarithmic analysis by analyst Benjamin Cowen suggests that, by 2023, the capitalization of the cryptocurrency market could exceed $11 trillion.
This is "medium case" scenario, while "extreme case" scenario offers the total capitalization of $32 trillion, with prices boost up to 150 times. While Bitcoin exchange rate at this scenario is at ~ $141K for 1 BTC, its total market share will drop to 23%, leaving space for "altcoin bubble" (which is plausible in both scenarios).
The analysis is performed based on weekly data on the price movements of Bitcoin and altcoins.

Will altcoins be the future of the cryptocurrency market, or is it too distant and insignificant future to consider? Is the market too volatile for any sort of longterm predictions, or does it sound plausible to take into account such researches while investing?
I think this research is all based on guessing. Can it happen yep, can it completely fall flat on its face, yep. Predicting usd value of bitcoin in 2023 is silly. 3 years from now bitcoin can be $1k or it could be $500k, there is good research out there for both. As far as altcoins and where they could land 150x on today's value seems like a stretch for me. That's a ton of incoming money needed on alts I just dont see it in 3 years but I wouldn't say that that assessment is based on anything but gut feeling
