The Overton window finally changed last week and now seemingly everyone is scrambling to adopt btc as a reserve asset. From the looks of it, it feels like a snowball rolling down a hill, gaining more momentum and getting bigger as it travels.
Here's how this could happen:
- First, ordinary people used bitcoin as a long-term savings vehicle.
- MicroStrategy became the first publicly traded company to adopt it
- El Salvador became the first country to adopt it
- Corporations launched spot ETFs
- US President-Elect Commits to Creating a National btc Reserve
- US states are introducing legislation to adopt a btc reserve
- Foreign Nations Rumored to Be Buying bitcoin to Lead the US
This list will continue to grow. I suspect that more US states, specifically more conservative ones, will follow Pennsylvania's lead in the future by introducing the same or similar legislation. The benefits of adopting bitcoin have become impossible to ignore.
Remember, 94.20% Of the total supply of 21 million bitcoins have already been issued.
- It is estimated that between 3 and 5 million of these coins have been lost forever.
- US Spot bitcoin ETF <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/JSeyff/status/1857089998614335761″>hold 1.07 million btc
- MicroStrategy has 279,420 btc
- United States has 208,109 btc
- Several other countries hold large amounts of btc
- Tons of public and private companies are large amounts of btc
- ? amounts of btc owned by ordinary people around the world
Many years ago I came to the conclusion that this level of bitcoin adoption was inevitable, but with all this push from large public institutions, I think we will reach $100,000 bitcoin much sooner than I expected.
The available supply of bitcoins is shrinking every day and, along with growing demand, the price has risen 130% in the last year. This is a runaway train, folks.
States, nations, and corporations will also not stop accumulating btc once they start buying, so I will continue to accumulate as much bitcoin as I can before I reach that magic number of $100k.
I think the floodgates will really open from there.
