Not Everyone Needs to Believe in Bitcoin's Value
(Will Bitcoin Reach $1 Million?)
On December 5, 2024, Bitcoin (BTC) officially surpassed $100,000 per coin—a historic milestone. Yet, even at this price point, most people remain skeptical of Bitcoin's intrinsic value. The phrase "Not everyone needs to believe in Bitcoin's value" carries a deeper implication: when universal belief arrives, Bitcoin's price will exceed $1 million.
What Defines Value?
Value is subjective. If you perceive Bitcoin as valueless, that’s your personal stance. Objectively, value is determined by market validation. Legendary trader Jesse Livermore once said, "The market is never wrong. Opinions are." Unless the market aligns with your view, your opinion holds no weight.
Consider collectibles like limited-edition sneakers or figurines. While I don’t collect them, their marketability proves others assign value. Successful trades validate their worth—just as Bitcoin’s trading volume and adoption do.
How to Identify High-Potential Investments
Investors seek assets that outperform benchmarks like the S&P 500 or ETFs (e.g., 0050). To achieve this, focus on:
- Universal necessity: Assets addressing fundamental needs.
- Irresistible adoption: Growth that regulatory or institutional forces can’t halt.
- Early-stage skepticism: Where majority understanding lags.
Bitcoin checks all three boxes.
👉 Why Institutional Adoption Signals Bitcoin’s Long-Term Growth
According to AI estimates, only 10–15% of equity investors currently hold Bitcoin or crypto—meaning ~85% haven’t entered the market. We’re still early.
Bitcoin’s 2025 Macro Trends
1. Institutional Bitcoin ETFs Reshape Accessibility
BlackRock, Fidelity, and ARK launched spot Bitcoin ETFs in 2024, enabling traditional investors to gain BTC exposure via stock markets.
2. Corporate Treasuries Embrace Bitcoin
MicroStrategy, Coinbase, and Marathon Digital saw stocks surge—MicroStrategy outperformed BTC by 3x. Its inclusion in Invesco’s QQQ ETF (a $320B fund) means retirement/pension funds now indirectly invest in Bitcoin.
3. National Bitcoin Reserves: The New Gold Standard
The U.S. added Bitcoin to national reserves under the Trump administration, sparking global adoption. Pakistan announced similar plans at the 2025 Bitcoin Conference. As more nations follow, Bitcoin’s market cap—currently $2T vs. gold’s $22T—could surpass gold’s, pushing BTC beyond $1M per coin.
