Adam Beck: Bitcoin’s capitalization will exceed $ 200 trillion

Adam Beck, co-founder and CEO of Blockstream, believes that the market capitalization of bitcoin BTC $95,102.60 Bitcoin -0.13% Market capitalization $1.89 trillion VOL. 24 hours $1.76 billion may exceed $ 200 trillion in the future. He expressed this opinion when commenting on the role of companies actively investing in cryptocurrency, of which Strategy is one example. In his opinion, corporate treasury strategies focused on bitcoin are not a temporary fashion, but a logical response to changes in the financial environment.

Adam Beck emphasized that many people consider the bitcoin buying strategy a short-term phenomenon. However, according to him, this is a sound asset management practice that is long-term. He emphasized that such approaches contribute to the phenomenon he calls «hyperbitcoinization» — a large-scale increase in the influence of the first cryptocurrency on financial markets.

According to the Blockstream CEO, the steady growth of bitcoin’s value, which outpaces inflation every four years, is the main catalyst for this process. An important factor is also the growing distrust of the traditional banking system, which is increasingly pushing investors to alternative instruments of capital preservation.

Previously, Beck has already spoken about the potential of bitcoin as an alternative to gold. He predicted that over the next decade, the first cryptocurrency could finally take the place of the main hedge against inflation and political instability that the precious metal currently holds.

The analyst’s views reflect a broader trend among part of the crypto community, which sees bitcoin not only as an investment asset but also as a strategic means of preserving value in a world where there is less and less trust in classical financial institutions.
