Deep dives

The Accessibility of Wealth in Bitcoin

Becoming part of the top 1% of Bitcoin holders is significantly more attainable compared to traditional fiat wealth. While entering the top 1% in the U.S. requires approximately $11.5 million, the barriers in Bitcoin are much lower. With the current Bitcoin price around $61,000, the calculations reveal that not every millionaire can even acquire one Bitcoin due to limited supply. This disparity presents a unique opportunity for individuals, regardless of their location or income, to participate in a new form of wealth creation.
