Will Bitcoin Hit $1 Million by 2029?

Show Notes

This episode explores one of the most pressing questions in the Bitcoin space: is $1 million BTC by 2029 a realistic target? The discussion centers on Bitcoin’s unique power-law growth, which differs from the exponential trends seen in traditional finance. Unlike assets that grow at fixed compounding rates, Bitcoin grows in proportion to its size, creating a more sustainable and predictable long-term trajectory. We also take a closer look at the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet history, the slow decline of gold and silver as inflation hedges, and the risks facing companies like MicroStrategy that are using debt to acquire Bitcoin. When exponential debt meets power-law growth, something has to give. This is a wide-ranging, data-driven analysis of monetary history, market psychology, and why understanding the difference between exponential and power curve behavior matters for investors. Whether you're bullish, bearish, or just curious, this episode offers clarity in a noisy market.
