$\"Demand$ <\/div>

With the\u00a0Bitcoin halving<\/a> simply months away, MicroStrategy co-founder and Bitcoin (BTC<\/a>) bull Michael Saylor thinks that demand for BTC could grow by as a lot as 10x by the top of 2024.<\/p>\n

During a speech on the 2023 Australia Crypto Convention on Nov. 10, Saylor was asked<\/a> to give his outlook for Bitcoin and its ecosystem over the subsequent 4 to 5 years.<\/p>\n

In response, Saylor initially gave a rundown on the interval between 2020 and 2024, noting that Bitcoin went from being seen as an \u201coffshore unregulated asset\u201d to an \u201cinstitutionalized mainstream app.\u201d<\/p>\n

Honing in on the close to time period, Saylor stated that BTC will turn into an \u201cadolescent mainstream asset by the end of 2024,\u201d as he highlighted key dynamics surrounding supply and demand<\/a>\u00a0that can quickly come into play:<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that this next 12 months is going to be big. Because demand [on a monthly basis] should double or triple or maybe go up by a factor of 10, anywhere from two to 10. […] and the supply available for sale will be cut in half in April.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\u201cSo, instead of a billion dollars of Bitcoin available for miners each month, it will be half a billion. It\u2019s pretty unprecedented that you would go from a supply-and-demand balance of maybe $15 billion of organic demand and $12 billion of organic supply. What happens when one doubles and the other one cuts in half? The price is going to adjust up,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Saylor went on to describe the subsequent 12 months for Bitcoin as its \u201ccoming out party\u201d because the asset graduates from \u201ccollege\u201d and heads out into the true world.<\/p>\n
Looking at 2024\u20132028, Saylor predicted that Bitcoin will proceed to be in a high-growth stage as adoption spreads throughout the massive tech business and mega banks worldwide, with each sectors integrating Bitcoin into their services and products.<\/p>\n
Saylor additionally stated he expects to see lots of competitors amongst firms like Apple and Meta to get their fingers on BTC to ultimately promote for main income.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re going to have ferocious competition and will among Wall Streeters to get the most asset share, and you\u2019re going to have crypto exchanges competing, and you\u2019re going to have other tech companies getting involved. […] That\u2019ll be one check.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\u201cThe other check will be when the big mega banks or Bitcoin custodians with JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Deutsche Bank, and, you know […] when they\u2019re making loans and giving mortgages and customizing it and buying and selling it. I think that\u2019ll be the second check,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Looking even additional into the long run, at round 25 years down the street, Saylor outlined some lofty predictions for the way forward for Bitcoin, as he emphasised that BTC will blow every other high-quality asset out of the water.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen it hits that terminal growth rate, maybe 20 years out, maybe 25 years, or it\u2019ll be growing twice as fast or compounding twice as fast as the S&P 500 Index, or any other diversified, high-quality portfolio of assets you could buy,\u201d he stated, including:<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, if you think about it like that, you just say, well […] now we\u2019re going to double; we\u2019re going to double again; we\u2019re going to double again; and we\u2019re going to double again, that coin is going to continue to progress to a million dollars a coin, $2 million a coin, $5 million a coin, $10 million a coin.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
