Honestly, I doubt that Bitcoin is ready to overtake Apple just yet. Companies like Apple, Microsoft, and Nvidia are going through a tough period - revenues are declining due to inflation, supply chain issues, and more. But they still have real products, billions of users, and strong infrastructure. Bitcoin, on the other hand, is currently surging without any clear new use case mostly driven by speculation and expectations. Right now, it looks more like a store of value than something that truly replaces traditional financial systems.
A price of $152–165K isn’t just a "small step up" it would require trillions of dollars flowing into the market. So achieving that within 6–12 months seems overly optimistic.

Yes, it would be overly optimistic to believe bitcoin will surpass the capitalization of leading technology corporations like Apple, Nvidia to become the world's second largest asset in the next 6 to 12 months. But I think Bitcoin will surpass all of them and take the number 2 spot is almost certain, it's just a matter of time and it might take longer than people think.

Although bitcoin is still considered a speculative asset at this point, it is no coincidence that it is compared to gold or is referred to by many experts as digital gold. That shows its potential is huge. People are not wrong in expecting bitcoin to have the potential to surpass gold, but the mistake they make is being overly optimistic in thinking, it will happen in the next few years.

I understand why many people are so optimistic about Bitcoin’s rapid growth - it’s often based on the expectation that the price will rise according to a geometric progression. In other words, people see past sharp increases and think, “If it grew 10 times in a couple of years before, then it will soon grow even more and faster.” This is the effect of “accelerated growth” or “positive feedback,” where more and more market participants join Bitcoin, pushing the price higher.
But the reality is usually more complex. Market growth depends not only on math but also on fundamental factors: technological development, mass acceptance, external economic conditions and many others. It’s important to remember that past growth rates do not guarantee future ones, especially when we’re talking about huge amounts - trillions of dollars that need to flow in to surpass Apple or Nvidia.
That said, it’s hard to deny that someday we might still overtake them.
