There is an error in thinking that the equivalent of the market cap has to enter into Bitcoin to achieve this
Discussion
Is there an equation that describes this? How much FIAT must flow into a system like Bitcoin to make the market cap to double, 10-, 20-fold? Or is that just impossible to count on?

“market cap to invested capital is not a 1:1 ratio.
Fundstrat did some research on this in the 2018 bull and found that the ratio of price increase to actual dollars added was closer to 20:1. IE 20$ of additional mkt cap for every 1$ invested in bitcoin (on average).” from @npub1x89n94f6mqgre90r9wv3vurnkzqgcw9397zz4yy4p8|n8mh7zkvq3esm56
It's really impossible to predict because most of the supply that comes to meet demand is from existing bitcoin holders. At what price do they decide to exercise some of that bitcoin optionality?
If most hodlers decide that they're not selling any until at least $1m, the ratio might be much higher than 20:1. As each cycle passes, the conviction of hodlers increases & so does the number of hodlers with conviction. More sats become not for sale (at any price) as the sats get more evenly distributed.
Yes. The relation must be dynamic and cannot be analysed as If it were a static relationship between inflows of money and appreciation in price.
During the last bull, much demand was met with paper bitcoin not backed by anything. Supply side scarcity didn't factor in as much as it should have & people learned a tough lesson about bitcoin.
I feel that if people are turning to bitcoin because of a lack of trust in fiat & banks, they will want to reduce/remove third party risk. Maybe I overestimate their understanding of Bitcoin, but a lack of third party risk was a large & obvious feature for me.
Let's see how this pans out.
Yeah it really depends what your goals are. Maybe you have a dream house and as soon as it is affordable it gets purchased. Or maybe you’ve extrapolated out 20 years of HODLing and plan to do something exponentially far beyond your current means.

как думаешь какаво государству сидеть без монет? если есть такой жирный кусок как биржа ...
It is impossible to know. Any time someone throughs out something it is just about the concept that there is some multiplier that could be very large. A single penny of buy pressure would trigger hyperbitcoinization if no one sold.
