So we will need another $2,000,000,000 just to maintain current prices?!
And we are making a big deal out of the "100's of millions" Wall Street could theoretically bring in soon?
I just went from extremely bullish to "Wow, I guess this is why bitcoins are still an incredibly high risk asset".
At the current rate, about 1.3 million bitcoins are created per year (though this rate is expected to be halved late 2015 / early 2016).
This isn't anything new, this rate of creation has been set when Bitcoin was first launched in 2009. So anyone buying into Bitcoin should be aware of it.
However, if you put it into perspective, then you'll see that the amount of bitcoins is increased by roughly 10% per year. That means that in order to keep the price at the current level, the amount of people that want to own bitcoins should increase by that much. And interest in Bitcoin is growing far more quickly than 10% per year.
