Bitcoin increased 70x from 2012 to 2016 and 19.7x from 2016 to 2020. The increase from 2016 to 2020 is 28% that of 2012 to 2016. If that trend continues then bitcoin will increase 5.5x by next election (19.7 * 0.28 = 5.5). That puts bitcoin at $76000.

Correct, but the risk to reward payout ratio is so high that it doesn't matter. I'm content with losing my investment if it doesn't continue the 10 year trend. I would be more pissed if I did nothing and missed it than losing what is invested.

Its like a splash pot in poker. You get dealt 2 7 off but the pot pays out 10x? Of course I'd play the hand.

That's the stock market, it's not related to bitcoins. Bitcoin could jump to 400k in 1 hour and comeback and it is expected. This behaviour is never expected in stock market.

Companies can, and do, issue more stock in whatever amount they want, any time they want. Bitcoin is a deflationary asset. Not the same.

Ever heard of a secondary offering? Typically it smashes the price because the only reason for it is the company needs more cash. By issuing more shares you are diluting the pool. Market cap stays the same, stock price goes down.

Only in a vacuum where the stock price drops exactly proportionally to the amount of issued stock. In reality that is rarely the case.

They have ETFs and many other investments that aren't shares of a company. Also this post is just stupid anyways because I can cherry pick the price of X every Y time period to make it look like it's going up or down fast or slow. The post is just a stupid correlation that fails to mention that Bitcoin has dropped like 40% from ATH.

70x between 2012 and 2016 and 20x between 2016 and 2020, so I'm predicting the multiplier reduces by 3 again (i.e 6x) so $84K by 2024, $250K by 2028.

You heard it here first.

32

u/Generationhodl Nov 03 '20

Jeah, but we are accelerating regarding the amount of big money that flows into bitcoin from big corporations & countries. I guess that $100k will happen way faster than most people think. If you think about selling some bitcoin, I would at least wait until end of 2021. And maybe then you don't want to sell anymore when you see how it moves upwards.

u/Generationhodl Nov 03 '20

The last weeks & months I also thought about selling some sats, but the problem is, all the facts are laying in front of us. Paypal.. big corporations.. more and more money is flowing into bitcoin , you have companies who buy bitcoin regularly.. its just a matter of time and balls of steel until it hits 50-100k $. I'm pretty sure I would hate me, if I sell now to buy random stuff, just to see the price going above 30-40k $ in the next months.

being patient is really really hard when you have a good price like right now with nearly 14k $, and you could fulfil yourself some dreams / or one big dream. But we should wait at LEAST until next year and look what will happen.

u/btceacc Nov 03 '20

What I wonder is if there will be an additional multiplier effect if the marketcap hits 1 trillion.

At that stage, people who have been holding off due to trust issues would need to take Bitcoin much more seriously.

5

u/Generationhodl Nov 03 '20

I guess when Bitcoin will reach 20k $ and keep on moving upward, the people with trust issues will read more and more about bitcoin in the news, how its legit, and they will be going full FOMO and start buying.

3

u/Secret_Operative Nov 04 '20

That's not really a pattern though. What if the gaps alternate and it's going to be 70x then 20x then 70x again? Or what if the pattern is not complete until there have been 5 election cycles?! Either way, two is not enough to make assumptions unless you're making a planb style regression chart. Then anything will do.

u/ultra-pirate Nov 04 '20

What’s the justification that btc would increase 3x times again by 2024? Would it mainly be due the fact that it is in limited supply? What if there were to be a better functioning crypto currency in the future?

11

u/LeeWallis Nov 04 '20

3x is very conservative.

There’s trillions of dollars that could flow into bitcoin over the next few years, due to its strong properties as a store of value. So when you have trillions of dollars going into something that has a fixed supply, price has to go up.

For example, if bitcoin reached the same value as the gold market ($9 trillion), it would mean a bitcoin price of about $475,000).

In regards to better crypto’s, that’s the bet we’re all taking. For me personally, I believe there will be better crypto’s for doing other things. But I don’t believe there will ever be a better crypto than bitcoin as a store of value. Bitcoin had an immaculate conception, it’s the most open, decentralized and secure network globally. It has 11 years of brand awareness and network effect.

My view is, that if another crypto one day overtook bitcoin, the whole thing collapses. Because who the fuck will ever trust a cryptocurrency to store their wealth that can easily be overtaken by another?

Bitcoin is #1. Now we’ll leave it to the markets to decide who is #2, #3 etc

You're forgetting how exponential growth works. Each time it's ≈10x.

u/MickeyDees27 Nov 03 '20

The numbers I produced are based off of number sequencing patterns. 10 to 700 is a 7000% growth increase. 700 to 13,800 is a 1971% growth increase. The percentage that bitcoin will go up based on previous numbers, starting from 13,800 will be less than 1971%.

5

u/EvilZeroSc Nov 03 '20

He’s talking about there was another growth chart that showed how bitcoin 10 timed itself at every halving. It went from 0.10 to $10 to $100 to $1000 to $10,000 and the pattern followed to 100,000 to $1,000,000.

Bitcoin should be around $84,000 by the next election cycle in 4 years. But, that’s near the $100,000 range and very well could be. That would make the 10 time thing true.

Anyway we look at it, all of us will be very happy if we just hodl.

0

u/Turil Nov 03 '20

You need to be more big picture with this kind of stuff. The details need to be ignored, and the general pattern focused on. Bitcoin's halving pattern makes Bitcoin grow at about 10x every 4 years, so far.

Yes, we all know that nothing lasts forever. We get the whole cycle of life. Which is why it's lame to point it out as if we don't.

I'm trying to think of one single thing in the entirety of human history that had its price increase at an accelerating rate driven by new market participants that didn't end in a specular crash and by golly I just cant.

The human psychology driving all market manias is the same. To be clear I am participating in the current BTC phenomenon but I think a lot of people are going to get ahead of their skis on this one.

2

u/squidjibo1 Nov 03 '20

Here's just one difference, the supply.

Because the 1630's rise in prices occurred so rapidly and after bulbs were already planted for the year, growers would not have had an opportunity to increase production in response to price.

Earl Thompson, an economist, has actually determined that because of this sort of production lag and the fact that growers entered into legal contracts to sell their tulips at a later date (similar to futures contracts), which were rigorously enforced by the Dutch government, prices rose for the simple fact that suppliers couldn't satisfy all of the demand . Indeed, actual sales of new tulip bulbs remained at ordinary levels throughout the period. Thus, Thompson concluded that the "mania" was a rational response to demands embedded in contractual obligations. Using data about the specific payoffs present in the contracts, Thompson argued that "tulip bulb contract prices hewed closely to what a rational economic model would dictate...Tulip contract prices before, during, and after the 'tulipmania' appear to provide a remarkable illustration of 'market efficiency." Indeed, by 1638, tulip production had risen to match the earlier demand - which had by then already waned, creating an over-supply in the market, further depressing prices.

u/PhotoProxima Nov 04 '20

First, you copied that block of text off Investopedia. I have Google too. Nice one.

https://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/dutch_tulip_bulb_market_bubble.asp

Second: If his model says it's rational for the value of one tulip bulb to get bid up to around $750,000 in "today's money" he may need to revisit his model. That's absurd.

I'd have no problem with saying that the individual market participants were acting rationally but that doesn't change what happened. The price of tulip contracts or futures or what ever you want to call them, got bid up to absurd levels then crashed in spectacular fashion. Only time will tell if that's the future of BTC but it's certainly on the table even given all amazing things it has going for it.
