Brian Kelly, CEO of BKCM, a digital asset investment firm, predicts a massive Bitcoin (BTC) price surge. He believes BTC could increase by a whopping 600% if it replaces gold as a store of value.
Bitcoin’s Gold Rush?
Kelly envisions a scenario where Bitcoin’s market cap reaches that of gold, currently around $15 trillion. With Bitcoin’s current market cap at approximately $2.5 trillion, this would represent a sevenfold increase in price. He emphasized that this is just one potential use case for Bitcoin among many others.
Bitcoin: A 600-Year Financial Leap?
Kelly went even further, calling Bitcoin the most significant financial innovation in the last 600 years. He compared its impact to the Medici family’s introduction of double-entry bookkeeping, which revolutionized finance. Kelly argues that Bitcoin automates financial processes, potentially disrupting existing systems in the same way email disrupted the postal service, YouTube disrupted traditional media, and podcasts disrupted radio. He believes Bitcoin’s underlying technology will become the new standard for financial infrastructure.
