Maybe, maybe not. Some people are convinced bitcoin will climb another 1000x or better within a short time frame (10 years or something). I am going to hold a little bet (3 digits) on this.

1000x growth would put the total amount of bitcoin more than current world GDP.

Bitcoin market cap is senseless. Think that coins are minted, but also destroyed in a limited classic constrained supply market.

If you destroyed all the bitcoins but 1 today, that single bitcoin would be worth the entire market cap.
