The Gold Rush for Bitcoin Until 2032
An ongoing gold rush for Bitcoin is expected to persist until 2032, during which only 1% of Bitcoin will remain available for mining over the next century. Therefore, individuals are encouraged to acquire as much Bitcoin as possible and consider future uses of Bitcoin as collateral. The importance of existing financial infrastructure to facilitate these transactions is highlighted, although the exact applications of Bitcoin as collateral are still being conceptualized. This period is viewed as a unique opportunity for accumulation, setting the stage for deeper financial integration of Bitcoin into traditional markets.
